Wind Trio Challenge!

Welcome to the Wind Trio Challenge!

The winner will be decided through the public poll. There is no specific judging criteria other than which you like better (for your own reasons). Voice leading and counterpoint mistakes as well as any other mistakes of advanced concepts should not be overlooked, but it is suggested that you ignore mistakes if there are only a couple.

Scores are not a necessity, which means this is a more casual competition. Meticulous analysis is definitely not necessary.

DO NOT VOTE UNTIL ALL UPLOADS ARE IN, WHICH WILL BE AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

A midi will be provided for those that are unable to produce more quality (true) recordings. Those who are able are allowed and encouraged to create an mp3, since we all know how untrue midi makes the overall color of sound.

The following is a link to the mp3 of my entry entitled Wind Trio No. 1 for Clarient, Bass Clarinet, and Horn (an odd combination, but it worked well). A midi of this piece has been uploaded to this post (it didn't come out that bad to my suprise, but it does seriously batter the first half). I hope you enjoy it!

NOTE: If you are only listening to the midi, I really encourage you to hear the mp3 (not that it sounds much better, because I actually like the midi (EDIT: I redid it and now it sounds crappy [MIDI LEGATO RUINS EVERYTHING, PLEASE IGNORE IT]) as well, but because it's probably much more enjoyable and plesent as a result of the quality reverb). Please listen to both if you can, the midi for the clarity of the tones themselves, and the mp3 for the tone color of the piece as a whole.

Wind Trio No. 1 in many keys

Okay, it's a sax trio. And it sounds like my regular music. And it's for saxophones. Enjoy.

here is my piece for Clarinet, Bassoon, and horn.

Here's mine.

And we all vote for ourselves.. how pathetic. At least I was honest,

I voted for myself.

All of these were great, but the creationartists was right up my alley. For me, what made his piece awsome was the bass clarinet, I really never here it in trios and it is such a wonderful instrument. In some instances, I would rather use it rather than bassoon! I liked how you filled your piece with many different harmonies while still keeping that classical feel. It is also very entertaining! Great work.

That's very nice of you. It means a lot from someone who wrote such a great dance in the chamber music forum.

I'd like to see scores of the other 3 contestants' works, if that's possible.

Finale kicks me out every time I try to make a .PDF and when I attempted to upload the .MUS here before it didn't go through. I'm sorry, I wish I could (figuring I just fixed up the score). I wouldn't have been so happy about posting it earlier though, since the score mainly represented me trying to get Finale to play it back correctly or at least decently.
