Full Circle by Robert Zolnowski

The inspiration for this piece came when I heard the saying “everything  comes ‘round full circle,” by several people in a short period of time. Full Circle is based on that saying.

The piece has three main sections; the opening section begins with a
three bar statement that is taken on a wild journey of variations. After the middle chorale section, the opening statement returns for its second journey.
There are many motives and circular gestures that overlap to create interplay amongst the voices. These small circles should be given a light emphasis so they are “felt but not heard” by the audience.
