Alright, first off- is there anything more you can tell us about this peice??

Onward to the topic. It's not a bad peice, but I have to say that the (xylophones, marimba, WHAT are they?) INSTRUMENTS... are a bit obnoxious. You could try re-writing this for strings and it would be a bit more enjoyable.

Also, you DID keep a nice central theme in your peice, and for that I say god job!

Anyway, I agree with Alan, it would sound better with a different family of instruments, but the theme and melody were good, and the harmonies worked well together.

thank you!!

I agree with the previous posters that this piece has a fine theme. To me it has a good forward motion with interesting rhythms. I thought the ending was a bit abrupt. It is very short - a companion section to make a rondo would be great - that is, what is here now forms the A and then with a new B of about the same length, the piece would reach 4-5 minutes as an ABA rondo.

Okay, on the sound being "obnoxious" - no, I don't agree. The percussive tones are in the main fairly mellow and musical - but they are percussive which may not be to everyone's taste. But I think the jolly mood of the piece comes across well with this instrumentation. The lowest notes are quite low which contributes to the texture by adding smoother tones in contrast to the more percussive higher notes.

A very enjoyable piece.

hi Euler! thanks for your interest and kind words! liked the idea of a rondo, i think i'll work on it. regards!!!!

I actually found the piece to be rather enjoyable. However, it seemed that the style of the piece was more for an indoor marching percussion ensemble rather than anything for chamber strings or whatever you had intended it to be. But I did like it though.

It's sounds like another attempt to use African people's instruments and styles into chamber music. Needs some bottom end grunt and a melody, for the embroidery to attach itself to. Good as a starting point.

thank you! i just have to say that i didn't intend it for other instruments, its current sonority is the right one and i can't figure it with other instruments. regards!
