" If you want your choir to sing the text you've written, then the only options as far as I'm aware are EWQL Symphonic Choirs or Hollywood Choirs using Wordbuilder. Alternatively, Cantamus can process a Music XML file for you on their website for a…"

Hi, for the first time I work on a choir piece, based on a most melodic Beethoven cantata fragment - a version for choir and piano (the first 45 seconds and interlude at 1:22 - 45 by Beethoven) and a version with orchestra - what do you think? Are…
This week I did an arrangement of my Fugue in A for brass quintet, because I've always had a brass sound in mind when I first wrote it.The music has been transposed to Bb in order to better suit brass instruments, and having 5 instruments to score…
"Thanks - I appreciate your comments! I agree that the slow movement and the development of the first movement are the most effective sections."
"I liked this as well - particularly the opening of the slow movement which had really heartfelt melodies (more so than in many more routine Mozart or Haydn slow movements). The development of the first movement, although relatively short, was…"

"Yeah, I see what you mean. Maybe I will try it with a ninth chord."
"Finally got enough time to listen to this in full. My overall impression is a pleasant work firmly in the classical (pre-/early Beethoven) style. My favorite part was the 2nd movement, where there are some pretty good melodies and heartfelt…"

"Thanks for listening, and for your comments! That chord in bar 166 is a dominant seventh, and I think making it a ninth by raising the clarinet to concert G might sound strange. But I can see how the dissonance with the seventh in the violin might…"
"Hi Steven. I listened to the 1st mov't . I think it is very well written and enjoyable. My only quibble would be in bar 166, where I feel the clarinet (concert pitch) high F is at odds with the violin high Eb (in the context of this piece). I would…"
