Pivotal - for symphony orchestra by Matt Lush Music published on 2018-09-24T11:54:36Z For symphony orchestra. Pivotal is intended to be a metaphor to demonstrate that despite distractions in life, if one truly focuses their efforts toward an aspiration one will achieve that goal. Irrespective of our own personal lives and situations, pivotal moments come in all shapes and sizes, some good, some bad, all of which having a long-lasting effect. This circa 22 minute work for orchestra is derived from three integral ideas ranging from just one rhythmic cell and motif, meaning the organic recurrence of new themes provides a sense of familiarity and coherence, even though they have not yet been heard in their entirety.
