The sadest and the most evil music that i had wrote. So far.Young innocent soldiers going to war. Sufferings. Deaths.

Evil? :mellow: No, this is not as tought over as a sad/evil theme should be. Some of the notes in the beginning were a good start, but then it got too random for my taste. Perhaps you should listen to the better songs about this theme, and learn from them. There was this site where there were about 30 different theme examples, and they were very good. Too bad I lost that site a month ago. X_X

It kind of sounds like bits and pieces put together to me. No offense. Some notes sound, how should I say...have a nice/peace type sound? While others sounded slightly more towards evil, but not enough to connect. Later in the song, it seemed to have some direction, but not in the beginning. The beginning (to about 0:48?) sounded extremely random to me. I can't make the connection to an evil dance though. Well, I hope you don't take it in a bad way. Just try to have more flow in your song.

Yup, it is in 3 different movements.
Tq for the comments.

really, Plod? Do you mean that it sounds random in terms of melody?
because I found that 0:00~0:48 is pretty structured, (though it should not be repeated exactly the same for the 2nd time, I think). I like the use of sequence; it reminds me some of the classical pieces.

I somehow lose attention during the middle, and I think it might be better to end at 2:52. if you want to make different movements, I suggest you to develop a stronger theme. Theme plays an important role in determining the "spirit" of the piece/song. one of the examples is the Pocahontas's theme.

It's really the first two bars that dropped my interest. Darren's idea of making a strong theme is really good. Make sure it's easy for listeners to memorize.

hmm. I failed in creating a melody to remember.

Sharing my new composition.

Ah, you've certainly got that melody that people can remember =P This is definitely sadder than your evil dance . . somewhere in the middle there are parts where some people will claim the melody to be a bit "random", and I believe it's because you only use quarter notes . . perhaps you could insert some eighth notes? Other than that, I liked this piece. There's a particular chord progression you used that I'm quite interested in . .

I think you overused the flute in this song. I also think you should've used an intro without it so that the listener has to wait for the melody to begin. The flute is played throughout the whole song, and alongside with the repetetive "I-V-II-I" piano arpeggios it creates a static sound. The 00:45-00-48 (yes, the three-second part) is what got my attention.

I think rovski's first piece does bring out sadness to a degree, if the song was slower you could visualise a soldier thinking maybe of his past and going to war, I think that is what rovski here is trying to achieve with the first composition. As for the second one i thought it was rather interesting, subtle and rather floating feeling. I felt that overall his pieces are a good effort. Keep up the good work rovski, I will be waiting for your best pieces, the best is yet to come right :)
