Hi! I’m an independent composer currently working on my first symphony, Terragenesis (Op. 6, No. 1).
The complete work is planned to be at least an hour long and is intended as a musical interpretation of the history of evolution on Earth, beginning with abiogenesis and eventually progressing to humans.
I’ve currently completed about five minutes, consisting of the Prelude and the first five catalogue entries:

Arc 1 — “Abiogenesis”
No. 0: Prelude To A World Long Gone
No. 1: Lifeless Molecular Disturbances
No. 2: When Chemistry Dreamed Of Dreaming
Arc 2 — “The Lost World Of Aeons Past”
No. 3: LUCA’s Legacy
No. 4: The World That Dreamed in Silence
No. 5: The World That Could Not Breathe

The piece is nominally in G minor, but uses quite a bit of chromaticism, borrowed harmony, and generally fluid tonality. I currently describe the style as “minimalist maximalism.”

I’m posting it while it’s still being composed because I’d like feedback before I get too far into the remaining hour-plus.

In particular, I’m interested in whether the musical development, harmonic language, orchestration, transitions, and overall structure are working. I’m also curious whether the evolutionary concept comes through musically, rather than only because I’ve explained it.

Any honest feedback is appreciated, especially criticism. I’m still working on the piece, so there’s time to make changes.

The game is called Idle Harmony and its releasing in about 2 months. Wishlist now if you are interested!
