I don't know if anyone remebered me posting my "fugal diarrhoea" last year. I must admit that i was put off from composing because of how bad it sounded, even to its creater (haha, brings to mind the phrase, "not even it's mother could love it") So i've given up on fugues, and people said they were hard to composer (keep in mind, it was only my first XD)

So, i changed high schools this year. I was the best music student in my class in the old school. I guess standards were low, and now i'm the worst in my class at the new school. (well thats what i think anyway.) The teacher asked everyone to compose a 16-bar song within the lesson on a program called sibelius. I had no idea how to use Macs let alone the software. So at the end when we heard everyones pieces, mine sounded like crap XD

So i got home, feeling miserable,(how am i going to cope with the new environment and being last in the musis class, something i'm sussposedly good at. Well, i mean, i'm good at performing but not at composing...)
Anyway, i came up with my 2nd composition.

I call it "Mary's Little Lamb Died" I hope you like it, and can give me some productive feedback!

//Edit// filled in on some sections in this one...

I remember your fugal diarrhoea, although I don't remember what it sounded like . .

Ah, such a sad title =\ . . which techniques did you use to modify the original "mary had a little lamb" song? Anyways, very interesting what you have. It seems like a mixture of things . . styles . . haha. I liked the baroque/classical aspect of it the most, but I was surprised by that fast descending scale. It didn't seem to fit . . unless . . you're trying to portray how that poor little lamb died?

It died from a heart attack..

Just joking, a friend said it was too short and that i should put something in the middle, he being a boy, said something fast...
So i did, and yeh, it doesn't really fit in...

Or i could say that it represents the lamb's quick death!

XD

About 46 seconds into the song, i kinda made it sound like "mary has a little lamb", except i flattened some notes/..or changed it around a bit...

Well.... interesting, very much so... Um, I noticed that you used nice, full chords in some parts, but others were just two-note harmony. I mean, there's a lot more options with the two-note thing but it gave kind of an empty feel...
May I say WOW :blink: about the fast scale thing... No, as Al(phonse) said, it doesn't quite fit. poor lamb. Maybe something more along the lines of powerful but still slow? :(
OVerall rating: 7.5023/10
rather good, I think.
