The Suite of 1957

Originally, this was for a school project, but I kinda like it, so I'm uploading it here.
This song is based on Melba Patillo Beals, one of the members of the Little Rock Nine. They had been the first students to integrate into a previously all-white school.

The song starts off on Melba's encounter of a pedophile, after the law had been established about school integration in Little Rock, Arkansas. The second movement is about Melba's relationship, in which her boyfriend had admitted during church. The third movement has to do with the court case, in which Melba has had to endure a long time with. The fourth movement covers some insane incidents she's been through. This includes having a stick of dynamite and flaming pieces of paper thrown at her. The fifth movement is her depression and her resolution of it later on. The last melody line is repeated in the sixth movement, which encompasses the end of her junior year at Central High.

la verdad, muy buen trabajo con la instrumentación y la utilización de las percusiones.

Like it! Keep going! I’m in my school’s symphony group so any instrumental music is great!
