Well, they are midis, so I guess you shouldn't expect much. I've been playing piano for about 2 years now, and am entirely self-taught. Tell me what you think, but please don't judge me too harshly, as I still consider myself not that good.

Nice!! Much better than my compositions. And you taught yourself too!! Neat!!. Did you know that Nobuo Uematsu taught himself too? Your songs rock keep up the good work.

On Breezy, maybe you could do with a bit more melody on top of what you already have to build on it. I really like the work you've done on it, but I think a bit more melody/counterpoint interaction would give it more depth.

There's nothing really wrong with this one, I just felt like it needed more in the bass cleff. I also felt like it was a bit cheesy, but I can't put my finger on how. I just always imagine light as something slightly more serious. I really liked the melody you used right before the end and I wish you had made more patterns using that theme, because it worked well.

The Requiem seemed really...not like a requiem. Requiems need as much depth as you can possibly give them. To write a requiem I am really under the opinion that you need to feel what you are writing so that others can also feel it. This song gave me nothing. For a requiem you should try to use a theme and develope it more so that you can give it some real depth to make the audience feel the music. If this is for a person that you made up, or if it is for a person that you knew, try to think of qualities that describe them and pattern the piece around that so that you can really do that person justice.

Overall, more melody to draw in your audience. I'm really not that good with themes myself, but I think that's what you need in this case.

1. I liked this one the best out of the three. Well very done!

2. An interesting piece, I shouldn't say the harmony needed work but it got a bit random closer to the end where I think you could have improved on.

3. Not my genre of music, I don't know how to comment on this one. I can't say I liked it but I didn't hate it. It had interestingness in the way that the strangeness that I felt based on my taste sort of gave me an eye opener on different possibilities of harmonizing. It was really creative in some areas but as I said, it's just not the genre of music I listen to in my spare time.

In Breezy, the harmonies could've been worked on. There's good dissonances and the ones that make no sense and are like: WTF? Sometimes you used the right ones, but sometimes you didn't utilize them to your advantage and it sounded a bit random. I liked it though. Very playful.

I actually like Exposition of Light the most of the three. I agree with deathraider, but I still like it, haha. Good job on this one (in my opinion). :)

As for the Requiem, I felt it needed more of a melody/theme. I got nothing out of it. x_x

Overall, great job, especially for a beginner! ^_^

Your compositions are great :sweat: the mismatching notes are what makes it great. very different pieces from what u hear usually :P (in a good way):heh:

One thing you should ask yourself after you finnish your pieces. Will people remember the song? I feel that you need to enforce a stronger melody to you listener and repeat it often enough so that it can be remembered. But dont always repeat it the same way, throw a twist in the counterpoint or the even the main melody. Also, dont repeat this underlying theme so often that it becomes annoying, find the right ballance.

:heh: I'll have to agree with Death Raider, thats not really a requiem. Use this for insite on a requiem. Are you able to tell in this piece what the main idea is?

But this is just my opinion. ^_^

Requiems can get really deep, the word requiem can be used to name a simple piece, but a requiem is a form. Depending on what kind of requiem you're writing, they have many movements. If you want to get deeper into this form of music, I suggest you to study Faure's Requiem or Mozart's Requiem. Plus, writing a requiem takes a lot of time and effort, so do some serious research before you start it. But if you just want a piece to be named requiem, you're always free to do so.
