Ok, I understand this is nice thing that you have said so thanks! However, I would be interested (for future reference) to know what you mean by diverse.

Yes, the call for scores is up to 8 mins - I am aiming for 4-5 given the short time frame I have to finish it.

Movenemt? How about that? In the piano, or the violin.
Maybe a change of mood, totally, because all those aug. chords are getting on YOUR nerve (I'm fine with them!  ) There is absolutely no rule that you need to be coherent to the harmonic language you use forever. You started with this type of chors, but your violin is playing something. This makes an impact to the brain and ears to the audience. You have every excuse to take the melody and make it into harmony. If it works for your ears, it shall work for the examiner as well. |
Aug chords are growing on me. I must admit on entering the second year (the first time around) the second my lecturer said we could throw our harmony books out the window, I started having fits. Tonality is all I know though I am starting to expand my harmony.
So far the piece has influences in two former pieces - Under the Celtic Barrow which was and Oboe and String Quartet work with a free oboe melody and accomp. and a piece I did at A level which involved add 9th/11ths - an influence I gained from my A level Historical lessons in Impressionism.
Unfortunutly, I have been stop by the fact my computer's hard drive appears to be on its last legs and is dying after so on (meaning I can only have my desktop on for roughly 30mins a time). I haven't yet installed Sibelius 5 on to my laptop.
If I can find somewhere which does binding on a weekend near me or take it in first thing Monday to the uni binders I might make the deadline - The real deadline is Monday but because I want it binding before submission I have to get it done before that.
Thanks for taking the trouble to install scorch - I will remember about pdf files for future reference.
