Symphonic Competition

Firstly, sorry that I misunderstood you.

I have no buff with you and never will I am just trying to help you out. As I believe you always intend the same for me . We just don't agree on the help sometimes which is understandable.
Lmao, I have finals next week I can't wait......

Haydn's Symphony No. 60 in C major 'Il distratto' VI "Finale: Prestissimo" was 1:23 by Dorati's recording. And can there please be a MIDI/finale requirement in addition to the score and audio one?

There is no audio requirement. The judges are urged to judge solely on the score, with the help of whatever audio file is accompanying it - whether MIDI, mp3, wav, .mus, .sib, etc.

Do you have to have some form of audio or can you just submit a score?

I believe he just answered that question. Only a score is acceptable, violinfiddler .

No audio file required.

Alright, I got it.

Sign me up for the compitition

BLAAAAH!

Who's where in their symphonic movements?!?!

I have finished the introduction, about 30 seconds so far. It's a maestoso, brooding, tutti passage, introducing the main theme and chord. Actually, everything motivic will be derived from this opening passage, and I plan it to return at the climax of this movement. Or not. Whatever. But it's going great so far.

Anyone else have any updates?

I am SO going modern on this one!! I am so excited!!! I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT!

The entire second theme of it is based off of bouncing tritones weaving through different keys! It is so awesome. My introduction is a string intro... meaning only the strings are playing. They are playing a nice little melody. Then, the main theme comes up (the introduction is the second movements main theme). It is a jazzy melody, with lots of big intervals. It mainly shows off the orchestra's capabilities.

It is a really modern symphony. It will be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
