Symphony no. 1: A Ghost Story is a symphony in four movements that follows a narrative. A composer has passed away, and the symphony is told from the point of view of his widow. The movements also loosely correlate to the Kubler-Ross stages of grief.
Movement 1: Unquiet
The first movement begins softly, establishing a mood of dread. The widow sits alone at the piano where their spouse once sat. Slowly, they play a dirge as the house creaks and comes to life around them. The unquiet spirit of the composer surfaces in a fury, wishing to be heard. A tapping is heard, morse code for “Here.” This is followed by a flurry of activity as the spirit makes its presence known, refusing to stay quietly in the grave. The first half of the first movement serves as an “overture” for the symphony, where most of the major themes of the work are stated. A violent and “unquiet” development follows in the second half as a storm rages outside the house. Lighting flashes and thunder roars as the spirit struggles to be heard. This movement correlates with the “Denial” stage of grief.
Morse Code: …. . ._. . = “Here”
