Super Shorts Contest: WINNERS ANNOUNCED!!!!

Posted by Gavin Brown on March 4, 2013 at 11:04pm in The Art of Composition

Hello all - contestants were asked to submit a work of no more than about 90 seconds duration to this contest. There were no other limits. 19 members of the Composers' Forum submitted entries! Now we ask all members of the forum to vote on which ones you think are the three best. Although there are a lot of entries, it will only take you about 25 minutes to listen to them all, so please listen and vote! The last day to vote is Monday March 18 at midnight EST. After voting has completed, I will announce the winners on this thread and identify the composers. This thread will then be open for discussion if there is interest.

Here is the link to the survey where you can vote: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YQW3G2H

GO!

Attached also is a worksheet created by Janet Spangenberg, which has the names of the compositions, the comments by each composer, and room to comment as you listen to each piece.

    "Composer A" submitted "Cavernous Gemworld" with the following comment: "it is inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's creation Moria. I imagine this piece would accompany the moment when the dwarfs discovered the precious stone Mithril there for the first time. The whole piece is improvised, with each track being take one."

    "Composer B" submitted "Two Part Invention" with the following comment: "I originally composed this as part of an intended trilogy of pieces called "The Moth's Marriage." This piece was subtitled "Courtship," and the two other pieces would have been "Nuptials" and "Honeymoon," had I ever composed them. As it is about moths, I was looking for a "fluttery" sound and a somewhat darker sound. "
