Ode to Optimism

My piece, “Ode to Optimism”, is about staying positive when things are not going well. I wanted the music to show how your mood can change and how having hope can help you get through difficult moments. The piece has different sections that show these changes in feeling. Some parts feel less certain, while others feel more positive and confident. I also used different chords and changes in the music to help show the same. Towards the end, the music becomes more uplifting and hopeful. Overall, I wanted the piece to show that even when things are hard, there is always something good to look forward to.
