Resolute was composed to celebrate the enduring spirit of those who persevere and overcome difficult challenges with fearless determination. Set in G major, this triumphant theme features a strong, accented melody and energetic accompaniments that frequently utilize double-stops for a resounding effect. The shadows of hardship are heard in a brief shift to E minor before the victorious melody returns with joy that defies darkness with courageous hope. The same way we support each other through trials, many melodies and countermelodies are doubled between sections to portray strength and resolve.Resolute was premiered by the East River High School Orchestra in May of 2022 under the direction of Mr. Scott Friedberg in honor of the orchestra’s 4-year anniversary, and dedicated to the courageous students who continued to make music through the pandemic, demonstrating determination and tenacity in their passionate pursuit of musical excellence.
