Walker. Homecoming [Garritan Yamaha CFX Piano + CSS + CSSS]

A short piece for piano and orchestra by composer DM Walker. It takes the approach of composing from a motif and develops from a simple opening to a full, rich climax.
From the composer's notes:
"This was my attempt at depicting the story of The Prodigal Son in music. It follows the protagonist along his journey from coming to his senses on a pig farm to his joyful reunion with his father, concluding with a nostalgic reflection on his youthful mistake. The work takes the approach of composing from a motif, and the two motifs used (representing the father and the son) are taken through several transformations before culminating in a full orchestral climax. The piano part includes a short cadenza towards the end for the soloist.
This, all in memory of my beloved mom who celebrated her homecoming a few short months ago."
I hope you will enjoy it, and as always, thanks for listening 🙂!

Hey there Bumblebee 🙂!
Thanks so much man, very relieved that you enjoyed it. Was a bit worried about this one to be honest - that CSSS violin is still giving me some trouble, finding it quite hard to work with
