Point Ninety-Nine

My thesis, Point Ninety-Nine is an orchestral work that contemplates the beauty of ‘missing the mark’. It is about being almost there point ninety-nine, not one hundred percent. We live in an environment that demands perfection. How can we learn to embrace the imperfections and celebrate the unexpected outcome after we do our best? The music will focus on drastic timbral contrasts and cyclic thematic elements.
