The new music

hey guys!!!

i wrote this compining different stules of music in one piece. i would really like your coments.

Didn't like it.

It sounded, to me, very beginnerish.

The section at 29-40 was pretty nice.

If this were my piece (and it isn't...) I would probably take that section, delete the rest of it, and build a new piece off of it.

Which styles did you incorporate?

Actually i put together 3 different styles. 2 Greek and a classical. The greek once are a style of byzantine music and Syrtos (a style of dance.)

Alright. I'm afraid the classical style dominates, and sort of assimilates the two Greek styles into it. This is a problem, because it leads the piece out of its originality and into a sort of repetitive circle. It's true, it does sound beginnerish, as Chris Shaver said, because it does not develop or contain any particularly varied harmonic or melodic idea.

With a piece like this, I would take the work you have, and see if you couldn't add 1) a second melody, and 2) a different instrumentation that would bring out the Greek origins of the music.

Thank you for the advise Christopher i will try to rewrite the pice and keep that in mind!!

I'm listening to it now. This was really cool. A little different. I think I have to listening to it more to say more, and I have no time to do that now. But, yeah, I like it!

One thing... In the very beginning. It's up to you, but I think it will be cool if you don't have deep bass in the 6th second, but wait for it when the melody repeats in the 9th second. In the 18th second I think you can have it in that way it is now.

It was just the one thing that I would hhave changed.
