Choral Competition [DEADLINE PASSED!] View Submissions Thread

Yes. The deadline was August 30th.

I've finished a good chunk of my new piece...

I don't. I'm what.. 7 measures done.

I can't wait to hear what wonderful music everybody has! This is so exciting, especially since I like vocal/choral music particuarily! Though that would figure, as I am a librettist...

I don't think he had that vision either, as I don't believe in Hell.

His journey through the depths of Hell is more of a physical manifestation of the depths of the inner self, and he invites the reader to take this journey of self-examination along with him, to overcome that which blocks our path.

It's all right there on the first few pages!

anybody doing any Dante?

Does anyone have a problem with Wednesday, October 18th for the deadline? Once this is all confirmed I will contact the judges on how this should go down.

I'll send people a pm about the date once it is confirmed, as well.

And I'll put up a poll about the deadline, which I just did.

Yes - my problem is that that is too early for me :S
I will try to get done what I can, but I've been busy, and am busy, and haven't actually started yet.

I would love to join, Composing a piece with text is somthing i have dabbled little in. A positive submmision date would be appriciated so i know when my time limit for composing is. oh, we can write our own text right ? also if i use notepad then the file will be mus. and the judges will be able to read the text as well as listen to the music right. If I'm wrong with any of this please inform me.
