Five short variations for orchestra I wrote over the past week based on Microsoft Windows XP's shutdown sound. This was a fun and actually quite difficult challenge as the shutdown sound is hardly a "melody." I attempted to twist and utilize the theme in very contrasting ways. Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

0:00 - Theme and Introduction
1:02 - Variation I: Presto | Moderato Pesante
1:37 - Variation II: Cantabile
2:07 - Variation III: Poco Scherzando
2:42 - Variation IV: Grandioso
3:16 - Variation V: Giocoso | Andante Maestoso [my personal favorite!]

Theme based on Microsoft Windows XP Shutdown sound by Bill Brown.
