Hi , im pretty new to this site but i wrote a song like really long ago and i added in orchestretic instuments to help the piano out :lol:
so if you wanna tell me what u think i'd like any comment so i can make it better or something thankx ^_^ though i listened to it on finale 2006 it sounds really bad due to all the vibrato the instruments use . It sounds realy awesome on finale 2003 where the instruments are just stacato. :sweat:

OMG Did I hear what I just hear? You tormented the string quartet into cheap fiddles they sell in flea markets. x_x The chords are dull, it hardly changed, the orchestration was bad (since I assume you don't know how to use double/triple stops on the strings), there were awkward chords and mrah, I can go on for forever... But yeah, for a beginning piece, I'll only give credit to your rhythm use. Good luck, study hard on music, randomly inputting notes into finale isn't composing. ;)

I haven't studied much on double/triple stops yet, but on the Cello Part (I think- 2nd to the last staff) use divisi instead of the stops...

It's still too bland and um... Perhaps random is the word, but it's not totally random, it just doesn't work. It's not something people would want to hear after listening a few seconds of it, make your piece simple and interesting. You lack a solid melody and an interesting harmony. Start off with more simple ensembles (like piano solo or duet or something). Good luck. ;)

It's rather repetitive and monotonous, especially with the same chord being done all the time. I suggest to start with a smaller piece when it comes to the orchestration, and start with simple, using chord progressions and those tunes that randomly pop into your head, LoL. Don't worry; you'll evolve into a very good composer as you move along!

Anyways, I see huge potential in you; so keep working at it! :lol:
