909 utilized a 4 note motive (G-A flat-F-B flat) that is developed in various ways throughout the composition. I used those notes as a kernel to inform the development of the piece. At certain times it pushes forward as an intense, kinetic, minimalism inspired music, other times the motive is used as the backbone for heart-wrenching harmonies. At one point it steps a little away from the motive and into a section I later felt was a kind of homage to “The Rite of Spring” (which was fitting because that piece was used in the last marching show Kolby and I worked on together).
