A group for people who write music with the intentions of getting them performed and/or published. A group for people who love to hear their music performed live by people other then themselves.
Here is a brief over view of your piece notational wise.
I dont think you really need the tremolos and the TONS of trills in the strings. They most likely wont be heard in those faster rhythms and they, Especally those trills in measure 31.
The best…
A lot of what has been said is good advice, like:
Not using a Jazz font, because it can be confusing the performers in thinking this is a jazz piece.
Adding dynamics
and adding a 8va in the Violins and Viola to reduce the amount of ledger lines. Eve…
Great post idea Tyler. what R your answers?
One reason I play and compose music is that I always have melodys and rhythms running in my head and I found that if I play them out loud it helps calm my mind (I am a bit nutty). Also composing is my emo…
Its nice. I like the interplay between the violin and cello, and the fact that it doesnt end on just the tonic.
However, I feel that there isnt enough interplay between the strings and piano, thus taking the trio concept blurred. There are a few thi…
My support of the arts is 90% done at my univiersity. I attend a concert almost every week, go to the student and faculty art exhibits, go to theater productions, and go to dance recitals. Most of these things are done by my peers, but every so ofte…
Can you tell me a little bit about this piece?
I would also love to see a score if you can.
Congratulations on getting your piece performed. For a volunteer choir, they did very well.
Great Job
But what would be lacking is human interpretation and realistic and idiomatic sound. Yeah the range of the instrument would be greater with a synth imitating it, but it would have to give up somethings that only real flutes can do; such as the timbr…
I dont think the Orchestra is going away. True, the orchestra is not doing well, but that is due to the economy and professional orchestras around the world going bankrupt.
The majority of concert composers do not use DAW or synthesizers. Most worki…
Well done for getting this performed. The player really did it justice - hope you do well in the competition.
I liked it,
You hit most, if not all, the major and minor cues in the film perfectly, or at least close to perfect.
I also really liked how you didn't take the idea of motifs and themes for character literally but we still had an idea of who was on…
I really liked the piece, I can hear your influences very clear. The piece kept your attention through out without really boring any one.
I do have a few critics:
Some of the spelling of notes seemed questionable. Some times I feel that they could…
Feather
The momentary pleasure that inspired the piece Feather was, well, feathers. Sitting at my computer flicking the stray feathers in the air, I pondered about the feathers that escape my pillow and get in the vents. Feather was written to captu…
My ears are open is problebly the most important podcast for those who plan to write concert music. Please take the time to listen to some of it.
