Musical Scenery: This song was made to portray my first trip to Sanibel Island, Florida. There were so many new things there and it was so relaxing, these sounds, including the shaker, really reminded me of relaxing by the ocean. media type="file" key="ovassapian_sanibel music.mp3" Symphony Movement 1: This is a classical movement. It follows the structure of classical form very well. as in all of my movements, there is a violin in the song. The violin is mainly syncopated, or off the beat. In this movement, it happens to be in the beginning. All other things are layered on. In the middle, you hear a break for the piano, then the violin and other instruments come in for the final part of the sog, ending it strongly. media type="file" key="Ovassapian's First Symphony.mp3" Symphony Movement 2: This movement slows down the tempo and becomes more mysterious. In this movement, the violin follows an eerie piano, and other instruments come in. In the middle, there is a quicker bass beat that comes and interrupts for a little bit. The dark mysterious sounds create a break between the faster, more upbeat movements one and three. It ends up coming together to make a great song. media type="file" key="Ovassapian's First Symphony-Movement 2.mp3" Symphony Movement 3: This movement is mostly a techno dance song. The beats work out very well with the strings, which in this case arare an exotic middle eastern sarod. More guitars and an exotic drum beat come together to make this dance song very catchy and fun to listen to. media type="file" key="Ovassapian's First Symphony-Movement 3.mp3" Symphony Movement 4: This movement is like my first movement. Once again, it starts with the orchestra strings, and the layering in the beginning is the same. But, in the middle, some different instruments come in, the old ones, other then the strings, go out, and the song is changed for the ending. I think it is a great wrap up to the symphony. media type="file" key="Ovassapian's First Symphony-Movement 4 1.mp3"
