YC FALL 2020 COMPETITION: ENTRY A

Comments from the composer:

"This is a piece for orchestra that I wrote based on Yoshimatsu's theme.  The theme in it's original form (as in both the rhythms and the pitches of the theme) does not appear anywhere in my composition.  However, I kept the piece in it's original key of D minor, so the pitches of the original piece should be easy to spot for anyone looking through the score.  I also used inversions of the theme, retrogrades and inversion retrogrades (loosely rather than strictly).  With respect to the inversions and inversion retrogrades I used tonal/diatonic versions rather than "real" inversions (I transposed them diatonically into the key/pitch level I wanted them to occupy).  This is a medley where each of the themes that comes up is a variation of the theme.  Also, the bass-lines, accompaniment figures and counter-melodies are also based on the theme.  Although the harmonic progressions aren't directly derived from the theme.  I hope you enjoy listening!"
