Three Episodes for Chamber Orchestra

A brief journey through my mental state.

Hello @BipolarComposer!

1.  Mania - this certainly creates a sense of unease.  I like the occasional breaks from the driving rhythms of the beginning like at 0:30 (although the snare drum seems a bit unnecessary here).  At the end you seem to go all-out balls-to-the-walls with the strings and ostinato (1:26).

2.  Paranoia - I love how creepy this starts!  You create quite the delicate, quiet and paranoid atmosphere here with the flute, strings, and pitched percussion.  The bassoon melody near the end is great too.

3.  Disordered Thinking - The shuffle-like rhythm of this movement is especially fitting to depicting this disordered thinking.  The snare drum is perfect for that.  And the seemingly aimless phrases on the oboe and clarinet add to the vibe.

Thanks for sharing!
