Peça Impressionista Para Coro




I recently had a discussion wether or not this piece is atonal. Here in Portugal I was taught Tristan and Isolde is atonal, as are other pieces with no key signature - even if they do not sound dissonant. I though atonal and dissonant were different things, am I wrong?



I wouldn't say that this is very atonal. In fact it sounds more impressionist with a few more chromatic pitches, but not atonal.
Its very nice none the less.
Would love to see a score to give you a better critic.
Well, I called it atonal because it has no key signature, its not a dissonant piece.
I'll send you the score.
Very nice piece Francisco, just the kind of harmonies I like. Would also like to see a score but that's okay. Did you mean for it to be sung by a real choir? Nice keyboard sound anyway.
Thanks! It's my first piece ever, I was forced to write for choir in order to be able to enter a composition competition. Recently, the choir director from my academy here in Portugal asked me to play this piece on the piano for him, and the choir may actually sing this, so I'll be posting a live performance if I'm lucky. The keyboard I used was a Kurzweil K2500X. Since you guys are asking for the score, is there any way I can attach it to the music?
That would be great to have it performed. I believe you can attach a score to this piece by going to 'edit composition' and then just adding the score file in an image format like .pdf (it tells you which types of file you can upload) by clicking 'click to upload files'
Slightly atonal and not really jazzy. But still worth a listen.
Well I haven't got a title for this, I just wrote the first thing that crossed my mind so it wouldn´t be untitled. Any suggestions are welcome, I have no idea what scenario this music brings to other people's heads.
Really nice work. Weirdly enough, I like the rough sound quality of the recording -- the eerie tone of this choral music lends itself to a phonograph-like playback, for some reason :lol:
Well, it meanders quite a bit but finds more of a tonal foothold near the end. The repetition gives you that. Atonality, in my view, implies a thorough intent on obscuring key and melody. Your piece had no melody and toys with tonality but does not destroy it. Berg and Webern wrote the book on this with their mathematical "approach" to composition. Interesting piece, though. Could have used more ambience. You know, make it really weird.
Parabéns! É uma bela peça, com uma textura bastante agradável e uma harmonia etérea e envolvente, a um estilo fortemente impressionista! Gostei muito de sua obra coral (é bom poder falar em português com alguém aqui também ^^).
I see this piece being performed for a strange yet passionate slow choreography.
The chomaticism plays a lovely figuration with the thematic lines of each part. I see no part writing flaws. Bravo.
