Break
Through is my musical
representation of one's
struggle to pass through
a barrier or move beyond
an obstacle. This could
be a literal breakthrough
or a metaphorical
achievement. The
composition is centered
around the key of G minor
to achieve a dark,
resonant emotion. The
percussion is the
heartbeat and pulse for
the introduction and
should follow all
dynamics to match the
winds. Soft rolling
mallets should be used
for the bass drum and
gong rolls, creating a
dark timbre without
overpowering the
ensemble. At Rehearsal
13, work to have a
balanced section where
the clarinets can be
heard on the melody and
the tenor sax and horn on
the countermelody.
Rehearsal 21 provides a
fully scored variation of
the theme and should
continue to be as dark as
possible. Rehearsal 29 is
the final musical
struggle before the
Rehearsal 38 'break
through' climax of the
composition. The
resolution of the
relative major of Bb
should be majestic and
triumphant. Finally,
rehearsal 48 transitions
to a recapitulation of
the opening theme, moving
towards a contemplative
ending back to G minor. I
hope you and your
ensemble enjoy
perforinming Break
Through.
