Incomplete is a motif based show that explores the many different aspects of the term.
The show begins with a lone percussionist in the middle of the field holding one single chime. With an empty howling wind sample, the chime player begins playing as the famous first motif from Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" is played by the low brass section. After this statement, the percussion take over stating the next motif. The entire segment contains phrases that halt abruptly, delay their resolution, or simply do not resolve at all.
**The second segment utlizes more recent pop songs, including "Incomplete" by the Backstreet Boys, and "Fix You" by Coldplay**. Featuring an alto sax soloist, as well as a Flute/Clarinet duet, this segment exemplifies the passion and pain of missing somebody in your life.
A short percussion feature transitions us to Segment 3, which utilizes portions of Mozart's famous "Requiem"; a piece in which Mozart died before he could finish. This segment offers some great technical demand in all sections and drives to the end. The final impact chord seems to go unresolved, but features a tag ending in which the band creates a circle with a drill spot missing. At the very end the chime player from the beginning of the show fills in the spot and hits his final note.
