It's been a long long while since I've been here, so thus needs a new thread (as my other one had an aneurysm, bless its soul), so... yeah. =D
Music.
I've been writing on and off for a while, though recentely I just knuckled down and got stuck back into it, along with taking up the alto sax (I love this instrument far too much. Why does it sound so damn cool?).
So, for now~

I'll leave you with a piece I've been working on, a piano waltz accompained by soprano voice... though I haven't quite written the lyrics yet. Ha, ha. I'm trying not to make them sound too corny.

That was pretty good actually.. welcome to Ichigos!

Yea, that's definately one of the BETTER songs on the forums. Welcome back.

i am not really a pro so ya here is my humble comment ... i think the arrangement was great .. not too like cluttered and not too simple ... i think something is missing from the melody ... but i am not sure what ... anyways wad does the title mean ?

'Dawn of the Dead' in italian. The lyrics of the song are about a person who has just passed away (a spirit, what have you) so I was aiming for the sort of sad, reflective kind of mood. ^^

@Noir7: Thankyou~! I'm pleased to be back!

@Maestro~: I'm very honoured you think so. ^^; Thanks! =D

(( doublepost ignoreee! ))

Here's something I've been working on... I've thought of entering it in the composition comp. for this month (I actually started it before I read the post, surprisingly), but I'm not sure. I had a lot of fun writing this piece. ^^ Constructive comments very welcome.

Female singer - flute
Male singer - oboe... (written in very extreme registers, haha.)

Nostalgia

female
things seem so clear
when someone shares
their love with you
i remember you saying
that all good things come
to an end

male
that i had to leave you
it was not my choice

female
i will remember you

male
protect you
while i watch you sleeping

female
i imagine
someone there next to me...

both
time spent with you
made my problems melt away
now that we've parted
our love will still grow strong
leave my heart with you always

female
sometime soon

male
i'll wait here

female
i'll see you

male
in heaven

female
then we can

both
be once more...
together with you.

Yes, please do enter this into the contest!

well, after a long long long extended absence, i've gotten into composition somewhat again (stupid exams, no time for music ;3; BUT THERE'S ALWAYS TIME FOR MUSIC) and i just wrote this little ditty. curious as to where i should lead it, though. >3<

The rhythm was fine, it fits well with the piece. Perhaps the thing you should work on is the flow and the direction of the melody, the flute didn't seem to go anywhere much. Make sure your melody is coherent and is memorable if you're composing in the 'easy listening' style. Your harmony could be stronger too.
