Choral Competition [DEADLINE PASSED!] View Submissions Thread

Well, it's not my decision. And I won't make a fuss either way, just stating my opinion. For whatever it's worth to the administration and the community.

Being a composer enables you to much more fully appreciate a piece of music, in my opinion. A composer has a much more decerning eye and much more practice analyzing sheet music usually.

Now, I don't know how long Sapphire's sat and stared at sheet music, but I know as a composer I've done it for days on end....or...er, months...

I'll take the issue up with the mods.

Hey guys, here's an opportunity to judge one of the judges.

*cough* cheap advertising! *cough* *hack* excuse me

May I judge?

Yes you may.

yay

Maestro Sapphire

PS. No, I'm not a composer, but I do feel qualified to judge a choral competition.

PPS. One more thing, would it be possible to require a MIDI? mp3/wav/ogg/aiff files take a LONG TIME to download for dial-up users.

Well it wasn't a personal attack, Sapphire. More of a professional questioning.

I still never grasped.... why you're here?

Sign me up as a competetor.

I enjoy listening to and reviewing music. Also having long arguements with Schubes and/or Jeremiah. I think most librettists should be allowed to be a part of a music website.

Hmm...

Awesome.

Seeing as how Sapphire is an accomplished Librettist, it seems only appropriate for him to judge a contest in which the main focus is setting of text. His opinions on prosidy could be helpful in a competition such as this. As long as he doesn't judge on things like orchestration and form, I think he's quite skilled in this area, and capable of judging said competition.
