**My Symphony: Movement Two**

I created Movement Two of my symphony around a nighttime thunderstorm. It starts off with fast trills and turns done on the guitar to imitate the beginning of a storm, where the light rain is coming down inconsistently. The the tempo then gets slightly faster, and the line crescendos into a coarser theme of impending storm clouds and fast-falling rain. It ends as softly as it came, as the storm slowly drifts away. This movement is written in E minor, and is in 6/8 time. The whole song is performed expressively, with some parts brought out more than others and becoming faster or slower in some places to effectively show the line of the music (this style is called //rubato//).
