Wind Trio Challenge!

Welcome to the Wind Trio Challenge!

The winner will be decided through the public poll. There is no specific judging criteria other than which you like better (for your own reasons). Voice leading and counterpoint mistakes as well as any other mistakes of advanced concepts should not be overlooked, but it is suggested that you ignore mistakes if there are only a couple.

Scores are not a necessity, which means this is a more casual competition. Meticulous analysis is definitely not necessary.

DO NOT VOTE UNTIL ALL UPLOADS ARE IN, WHICH WILL BE AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

A midi will be provided for those that are unable to produce more quality (true) recordings. Those who are able are allowed and encouraged to create an mp3, since we all know how untrue midi makes the overall color of sound.

The following is a link to the mp3 of my entry entitled Wind Trio No. 1 for Clarient, Bass Clarinet, and Horn (an odd combination, but it worked well). A midi of this piece has been uploaded to this post (it didn't come out that bad to my suprise, but it does seriously batter the first half). I hope you enjoy it!

NOTE: If you are only listening to the midi, I really encourage you to hear the mp3 (not that it sounds much better, because I actually like the midi (EDIT: I redid it and now it sounds crappy [MIDI LEGATO RUINS EVERYTHING, PLEASE IGNORE IT]) as well, but because it's probably much more enjoyable and plesent as a result of the quality reverb). Please listen to both if you can, the midi for the clarity of the tones themselves, and the mp3 for the tone color of the piece as a whole.
