Composition: The Burnt Offerings (and the Peace Offerings)

Tell us about the piece you have submitted to Minnesota Varsity.

My piece began as a way for me to extensively apply what I'd been learning about voice leading to a piece while also using Messiaen's modes of limited transposition, and slowly developed a highly structured architecture and contrasting sections.
