Anger Management Therapy for String Orchestra Orchestra - Sheet Music

Anger Management is a study in aggression and heartbreak. Its inspiration comes from a particularly nasty breakup and Tennysons maxim, Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. The piece considers and ultimately rejects this notion. My goal was to combine the narrative of romantic loss - with its elements of anger, nostalgia, despair and ultimately defiance - with a strict compositional technique and economy of material. The piece is based on two motives: the gruff, ascending three notes of the first bar and a descending half-step sigh, which is eventually transformed and intensified into a glissando ascending major-7th. Anger Management was premiered and recorded on April 1st, 2013 by Derek Cooper and the Manhattan School of Music String Ensemble.
