Hiya! I'm Hikaru and I composed "TOGETHER" and "Weary skies". I am hoping that you guys will like these pieces. ^_^ Arigato Gozaimasu! :sweat:

You could have just summited these in your old Composition thred, instead of making a new one... kind of less "Spammy"
~~~~~~
Anyway, these pieces weren't to "inspiring" or anything to do with "togetherness" or a choral shurch music.

The chords didn't seem long, or very pleasing most of the time. As I may be rough: chords should be written until they sound PERFECT ^.^ . Anything less than a perfect chord, can really ruin the sound of any kind of achievement your are grasping for.

Keep tryin' though.

I..couldn't find my old one! ^^; BUT, I apperciate your honest. ^_^

I liked together; it was very soothing.

The flute choral thingy had some dissonances that didn't seem to serve any end, in my book. (Also, I wonder if it might not sound better with an organ?)

Ad Maestro) What do you mean by "chords didn't seem very long", and what's a "perfect" chord?

Thank you! ^_^ Together was my first original flute choir piece and I had written that one last year, so it's pretty old. ^-^;

~TOGETHER- it's kinda like a choral theme, so it speaks like one. :heh:~~
~WEARY SKIES (aka the flute choral)-I wrote that because I was inspired by Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (which is a great piece of music for flute choir). ^_^~~

By a mean of a long chord, as it should be hard out more. If it's a choral piece, many of them aren't very fast. Moderato quarter rests is usually a tempo for them. With the past pacedness in the chords, then did not seem long fofilled.

And a perfect chord. Is one that should sound "in place."

Well, they were both written like that on purpose.

One, Together is like a story (well to me anyway) and Weary skies is songlike, so that's why most of the chords are weird. :heh: :heh: ^_^ (plus, I'm a flatist). :sweat:

Hmmm...Sometimes I don't understand a word you say, Maestro...oh well. Why are you using quarter rests in telling what your tempo is? Choral music has a wide variety of tempos, dynamics, languages, voices, topic, etc., etc., etc., and you can't say "it's mostly moderato." I have sung so many things that are significanly faster or slower than moderato in the choirs I have been in.

As for the real topic, I personally don't love the flutes in either of these pieces. I think both of them need extra accompaniment to compliment them, and/or a more clearly defined melody.

Offtopic: Deathraider, I am starting to think, you don't "Think past 2 mins." Don't take it badly, just a statement.

I still have no idea what you are saying...

K :heh:

I'm sorry guys. :heh: I understand what he's saying (well, most of what he's saying). After all, I'm in band and I'm a musician. Maestro, I thank you for your honesty. ^_^
