Suite for Strings No.1 - Original Composition

I finally managed to finish this piece after writing on and off for a year! (unfortunately, I'm quite busy with other things, so it's been difficult to find time for hobbies). It's written for string orchestra (violins I and II, violas and cellos) and has three movements:

00:00 I. Larghetto e pesante
04:25 II. Largo e implorante
08:04 III. Scherzo: Prestissimo

There's not an exact "programme" to the piece, but I did set out with the goal of depicting a journey from turmoil to joy (a bit cliche, I know), with each movement marking a point on that trajectory.

I hope this made for an enjoyable listen, and if it was, please consider liking and sharing this video or subscribing to my channel. If you have any feedback or recommended tweaks, feel free to leave them in the comments.
