Alright, this is the first time I'm putting music up, so please don't chew me up into tiny pieces, cuz this is the first time I have writen music pieces.
This is my first piece, and it's not finished yet, because I'm short of time to finish it due to my upcoming exams. (Stupid PMR exams:bleh: ) So enjoy!

Atmospheric, I think the beginning is great. Your melody writing is pretty good... except some weird spots here and there. But for a first piece, great job. I really enjoyed it. Try to make a recording. Or I could if you want. I'm bored. -_-

the piece is very nice but so so simple. the use of trilss on certain notes does greatly add to the feel of the piece but agian its a bit to simple

You should work on harmony. Indeed, the harmony makes sense and all that, but your usage of it is quite monotonous, especially as a piano context. And your melody needs something to be brought out, it just went on and on and on, which isn't quite interesting. It might be claimed atmospheric to some people's ears, but I find it rather melodic-want-to-be, so yeah, work on how to build melodies as well. It felt a little to 'stoned' overall, but to make it tender and sweet, you just need experience. Do some studying, and all that and you should possibly do fine. ;) Good luck.

Thank you everyone for giving me these suggestions!! I thought I was going to be BOOd all the way... ( I'm very pessimistic.) I'll try to work on it when I have time. Maybe after 2 weeks. (I'm having trials this 2 weeks...)

The harmonies need some work, and the piece was a bit boring. Also, sometimes the melody seemed a little random. Overall, though, I agree with the others; very good for a first composition! :) Good job, and keep it up.

Make sure that in the sheet music you don't have ties on two different notes. If you want to do legato there's a different tool for that.

Okay guys, I'm sorry to say I'm renovating Raindrops entirely. However, to keep you all preoccupied, here's another song I invented, also not finished. It's a sing-a-long for two people and a piano, so grab your karaoke mikes!!

Sounds great to me actually. Although, like myself, you have a cliche writing of some lyrics. :lol: I am now trying to study lyric writing since listening to the Beatles music lately-wanting to write 'songs' at the moment.

Good song, keep editing to your hearts content.

I agree with what Maestro said. That sounds a lot more like a poem than lyrics. The song itself was good. But the lyrics were really cheesy. Good job on the song, and keep working on... lyricy, is it? XD

Thank you for your comments!!:lol:

I know the lyrics suck, but don't worry, my bro gonna give me a crash course in lyrics writing. (He's a very scary teacher...x_x)

Here's a song I composed for my Chinese orchestra. Seeing as they don't want to play it (the b******s) I'll put it up here. The problem is I can't get the violin to soften down and sound like a violin... (Now, it sounds like an electric guitar...) BTW, this song was meant for CHINESE instruments, so please don't hate me if it sounds wrong...

Ain't too shabby. Just the part where the melody comes in, those repeated notes for like a page got really repeditive, and didn't sound too flattering for a Warrior. :heh:

Anyway, keep working it out, and it might be able to turn into something where the orchestra will like it. ;)

That's pretty good! I like it! Meh, I like the part where Maestro mentioned - the repeated notes... it's very asian. >_>;; Whatever that means.

Oh, and it sounds more like... The Spirit of the Butterfly Warriors. =/

Keep it up! I hope your orchestrated performs it >.<

I liked this piece a lot! I thought it was great, except for those repeated notes. Good job! :yes:

Sorry, I know I haven't written anything for a long time because of my exam. Anyway, my exams were over the day before yesterday, and I was trying to get inspiration for a song. However, today I got my inspiration. I got my results back and well... :cry: *ahem*

Anyway... I saw the looks on my friends faces, and I came up with this short but sad (and aptly named) piece. Hope you enjoy.

BTW, "failing" in my class means you got 60 something in an exam eventhough the passing mark's 40. Yes, we're competitive...

Hope that no one takes this song and claims ownership. It's one of my faves.)

How Finale Notepad played it... was sort of messed up, so I added the dynamic markings that Finale Notepad cannot do... :heh:

hmm...a quite enjoyable little piece.
sometimes it seemed a little...sudden in its changes, but otherwise it was very good.

Very nice! I especially like the fact that you used dynamics and articulations in your piece. That is a good sign! Just to be a little picky, in measure 27, the dotted eigth note should probably be written as a sixteenth note tied to an eigth note, just to make it a little easier for the musician to play. Again, nice job! ^_^

Just asking, does the title of the song fit the piece?

No.

Sounds OK, nice job.

As I can't put attachments to an edited posts, don't know why, I'll have to double posts. Sorry.

Well I've been gone a while. Here's a new song. For all you people who know Chinese music, this one should be a familiar tune ^_^. (If you don't know, ask your parents.) I don't know the lyrics, and I can't speak or write Chinese, but here's...

THE MOON REPRESENTS MY HEART!!

Very nice piece the last one, I felt there were some 'empty spaces' in the bass sometimes though

Haha, that famous piece of all time, it's a not bad transcription, there are some flaws and isssues here and there (esp. with the chords), but the melodies are pretty much right on. So keep it up~! ;)

I need some help...

I'm trying to write Redemption from DoC, and I've got the melody. The problem is, how do I write a rock song into a piano format? Someone please help...:cry:

August 28th, 2006, 12:49 pm
um.... use the Mass Edit tool and Paste the melody onto the Right handed part?.... :think:

Ming, maestro of music
August 28th, 2006, 10:28 pm
Umm, let me rephrase my sentence. I've done the right hand already. What's left is the left hand. How do I make the left hand sound more interesting, because all I've got is just the base notes. I want the song to sound like a rock song.
