"Symphonica Electronica no. 1 - Broken Circle"

This was composed for my step-mother as a Mother's Day present.  The piece
is meant to express, in music, the plight of abuse victims who find the strength
to stand up to their oppressors and fight back.  It is split into four parts,
which all merge together in this module:

Part I - Oppression

     In which the victim is being abused, controlled by another, unable to live
     her life away from her tormentor.


Part II - Realization

     In which she realizes that the situation is wrong, and that she doesn't
     have to live that way if she chooses.

Part III - Retaliation

     In which she finds the strength within herself to fight back, to confront
     her tormentor and tear away from him.

Part IV - Freedom and Hope

     In which she finally succeeds and is free to live her life free of abuse.

The title, "Broken Circle," refers to the cycle of abuse.  A circle that goes
around and around, a cycle that perpetuates itself.  Once broken, she is free.

This song is respectfuly dedicated to abuse victims and survivors everywhere.

Originally composed on OctaMED 4.0 in 4 channels, then converted to Protracker
format so everyone can listen to it.
