Beginnings of a new piece for symphony orchestra?

Hi all!

This tune suddenly popped into my head this morning, just as I was waking up.

Am hoping you can tell me it's original, and not just something I've half remembered from somewhere?

Any ideas about how to develop this further are very welcome!

Not sure if this should be the climax of the piece; or the opening? 

Hey @Alex Weidmann,

It sounds grand and promising! I don't think it's from other music!

For me I would leave the D major ending at the very end of the piece like the ending of a Dorian Mode piece in a Renaissance setting. But other than that, it's up to you!

It depends on how you conceive your piece's structure, like you can have a climactic opening, and anti-climactic middle section and an even more climactic ending, or just a quieter opening with climax after it!

Thx for sharing!

Thanks Henry. Good to have you back! 😀

That's not a happy face! LOL

I just meant you seemed to go on hiatus for a while.

I imagined you were busy writing your next masterpiece!
