hiya! i was bored just now so i composed something. I am posting it here to see what all of you think of it. Its my first composition so its not that great, naturally. Any tips you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. if you would like it as a MIDI let me know!

it sounded ok, I think, a bit short though. :)

thanks. Ill make it longer now.

I agree with PFK. When I first heard it I thought "Hummm... nice opening" then I realized it was over.

Just by curiosity, what instrument(s) do you play?

Yea, kind of thought the same thing. I liked the idea and how it sounded in Bb Minor. If you could, it'd be nice to hear that as an actual song.

It sounds very underorchestrated at the moment; feels like listening to a few select sections rehearse of a full symphonic piece. If you are going to use such a small ensemble, then try to give them parts that serve more as the meat-and-bones than the seasoning. Try to establish one coherant melody, probably with just one instrument for starters, and maybe add a countermelody in another part later one. Ideally, with small ensembles, each part alternates the melodies and accompaniment without much fuss in the transition, so it's sometimes a challenge to use them effectively. You might want to expand the strings to a full ensemble to take care of most of your accompaniment, and let the flute concentrate on the melody.

Thanks! You've all been so helpful. I will try and make it longer without making it sound terrible. I didn't think it was that great btw. I'll post a newer version of it when i get it done. I also noticed that i had the same exact sound for 2 instruments. I will change that for the future parts!

Oh and i play flute, piano, trombone, percussion like pit percussion and am currently learning trumpet and cello
