My goal was to finish the piece on my birthday today. I like to consider it a present from Bach.
I want to add a bass pedal section, but I thought I would stick to the guideline as a two part invention:

Also, I like to add Greek mythological themes to my music. I enjoy listening to it while observing this painting:

From my understanding, the poem is referencing unmarked graves of soldiers fallen in battle. I like to imagine the initial, expressive part of my piece as a call to awaken the dead. The part immediately after evokes a thrashing dance of skeletons, and the later collapse into consonance is meant to express solemnity at the tragedy of their fate.
I think music is always more enjoyable with something visually interesting, so here is a picture that accompanies the piece:

I've played for 10 years but have never composed. Never taken a music theory course either.
Here's my submission.
It's inspired a bit from the last couple of pieces I learned to play for piano - Chopin's Op. 9 and Liszt's Liebestraum.
