Pie Jesu

Another piece I composed quite recently. It's supposed to be very minimal. Without much movement and all. But I am quite sure the performers are going to murder me for giving them almost nothing to play...

The file can be found there (Pie Jesu), under other music.

Hope you guys enjoy it...

Regardless of how nifty that site is I'd love not to have to install any new ActiveX whatevers to view your piece - a pdf and a midi/mp3 is the standard fare around here, so that everyone can view your work.

So...I'd suggest doing that. If nothing else than for you, so more people can access it/review it.

You are right, I haven't thought of that. I uploaded the file elsewhere since my attachment limit is a goner. Thanks! =D

I like this piece; you've managed to produce some very nice harmonies, while not leaving the key.
The only thing I should mention is the D flat on page 3 and 4 (Harp part), which is really C sharp, because it belongs to the relative (d) minor. Moreover you have C in the soprano part at the same time, so you are composing in two different keys simultaneously: the C belongs to F major and the C sharp (D flat in your score) belongs to D minor. This little issue completly ruins your previously built harmonic system.

Anyway, it's a very good piece, just go on!

PS. Listening to the midi the Harp sounds like the choir, possible it shares the same midi-channel with the sopranos/altos.

This is a nice piece. Some great harmonies and I like the arch you've created a really nice journey. Congrats.

Aww thanks guys. I agree with your comment on the Dflat, I think I put there coz it sits right in the middle of the low G and A lol... D as in the fifth of G and A the fifth of D... I'll fix that though.

Beautiful piece. It captures the text very nicely, and creates very nice colors. Very nice orchestration. A word of advice-- you should notate those repetitive quarter note rhythms in the strings as tremolos, for ease of reading.
