Hi. ^^
So, this peice sonds like background music. Well it is, haha. It's an incidental peice in the score for a musical a friend and I are writing. I'm sort of new at the whole composing thing, so sorry if it's not amazing, but it's the first incidental peice that's complete in the score.

Yaay. The beginning has a few leitmotifs from earlier in the score, and the whole thing is supposed to sort of sound like deliberation. The arppegiated parts are supposed to sound like running in the nighttime, because that's what's going on. :]

Instrumentation included in the peice

Flute I
B-flat Clarinet I
Violins I, II
Viola
Violoncello
Contrabass
Harp
Synthesizer Piano (Celesta setting)

If anyone wants a PDF of the parts, just let me know.

Constructive criticism is appreciated.

While the progression lacks in interesting chord changes, it is indeed a neat background piece for a musical.

Good job :)

While the progression lacks in interesting chord changes...

Mhm. You've got that right for sure. >_> but nyeh, it's underscoring, music shouldn't always overpower performace. Haha, thank you, though. ^_^

I don't want to get sued, so I'm telling you I didn't compose this next peice. I didn't. But, I thought you all would to listen to it, because I did transcribe this...transcription?

I made it for when the flying people come out to coreograph the flying for Wizard of Oz, seeing as it fits well.
Enjoy. :]

Oh, and seeing as the parts aren't probably accurate, and their not mine to give away, I can't.
Sorry.

((The reason it's probably not accurate is being I turned a piano rehearsal score into this. =]))

Sounds a lot like the music from Beauty and the Beast the musical. I don't really like how it ends, especially in the context of a musical.

Nyehh.
I've never seen Beauty and the Beast (the musical version, anyhow0; but the movie score is based off of Saint-Saens' "Aquarium" from Carnival of the Animals, which is actually one of my favourite chamber orchestra peices. ^^

Snowflakes, I'm pretty happy with this, actually. :]

Parts:
Flute
Clarinet in B-flat
Violin I, II
Viola
Cello
Bass
Harp
Celesta
Bells

Hey dude, you've got some nice stuff going for you here! It seems very VG inspired and in my opinion some for the best and most memorable music is VG music. What I didn't really care for in this track was from 0:29 to 1:01. It just didn't really seem to fit with everything else and didn't quite paint that picture of snowflakes quite as well as the other sections. The rest was very well written and really invoked that image of snowflakes like you were going for. One thing I would like to comment on is your chord choices. Yeah, they work and get the job done and sound good, but I think you could have used some more interesting chords in there. If my ears don't deceive me, it sounds like you were sticking to chords diatonic to your key. Try changing things up a little with diminished and augmented chords, modulating to a new key, or adding chord extensions to move to new chords.

I'll be listening to hear more from you! Keep it up!

New composition, for the musical I'm scoring. This is the big murder scene, so the music is naturally difficult. :]
The strings are obviously inteneded for professionals, but divided to where they're not impossible to play.

2 Flutes, Oboe, 2 Clarinets, Bass Clarinet, 2 Horns, 2 Trumpets, Trombone, 2 Violins, Viola, Cello, Bass, Celesta, Bells, Harp

The music wasn't written to have any particular melodies (at the tempo change, that is), it's mostly for effect.

By the way, there's a pretty noticeable little error in the chormatic scale at the end, which I have fixed.

Your are a very fine composer, I very much enjoyed listening to all of your peices

Hmmm.
I kinda wrote the actual rhythm a while aho (the strings and clarinets), but never really had a melody. So, last night...I sorta just started doing a few things with it, and baaaam.
Music. :]
Well, incidental music.
I actually want to make it a bit longer, but I think this will do for now...

Aaand this, a leitmotif for the Detective in the musical.
It's his/her (the Detective is a unisex role) entrance music. :D

Wow, I like many of these pieces. May I ask the software that you use?

Finale?

Finale Printmusic.
I'm saving for Finale 2009 when it's released. =]

It needs percussion, and some jazzier harmonies would be pretty cool, too. I like the melody and instrumentation for the desired effect, though.

Thank you, I'm not too great with Jazz chords, but I would like to change the harmony.

And, I have a drummer friend of mine writing all of the drum parts (the score is actually a manuscript) and etc. Percussion is not really my thig.

I'm not too great with Jazz chords, but I would like to change the harmony.
Yeah, neither am I. Just something to experiment with.

This is background music, and though you're works really are great, they lack the stability of "musical" pieces because the chords do not grab onto the listener.

I also agree with the concepts listed by "PorscheGTIII"

lots of high-ranged activity...i was wondering if you could do something with the contrabass...like add a dark background or something and maybe that could make the chord progression more interesting...but definitely brings me back to WHR lol xP
good work...it's hard writing in so many instruments...xD

Yay for video game underscoring (for a game my friend made). ;]

These are the ideas I have for two of the levels, they repeat themselves as long as the player is in the level of course (with the exception of the Mechanical one, it goes into the tempo change at a different part of the level), and they have little endings to go with leven completion. Yeahhh.
Comments please?


Please remember, these are just IDEAS.
