Hello everyone again, Today I bring forward my first choral piece that I've been proud of *in years*. It has been a very inspired piece written over the course of today (I skipped my Italian Class for this, Mi spiace!). Anyways about this piece. I've been wanting to write a choral piece for a while now, and I had recently felt inspired, so I've been scouring here-and-there for poems. And although I had read dozens of poems that moved me and made me want to write a piece; I struggled to connect the words and music. So I decided to write my own, and I figured the most convincing writing I could do, would be for my partner. So this whole piece is written directly to my love. The main overarching theme is; I could never overstate my affection, because words could never say everything I felt. So I use music to do so. The song begins with very classic American clichés. "you are the apple of my eye. the wonder of my daily life. my shining star" Exaggerated and cheesy language, which is how I talk with my partner. There are slow, fast, loud and quiet "I love yous" because I find myself saying it differently and meaning it the same way all the time. Then we get to the crux of the piece "I love you more than words could ever express. But I'll try". Even though just saying 'i love you' does not say it all, it gets me that much closer, and proclaiming love many times gets me closer to that unreachable goal. And then we loop around and say things again. This piece is in ABACA form and for the C section I decided to not use any words. I hope you enjoy, and please give me feedback to improve this piece, if there is anything (even if you can't figure out what it is) let me know and I'll take your feedback. This would be a good piece for my choir to perform, I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything important. -

Yes i have many ballet ideas up my sleeve and this one is four acts long...anyways its not the same as the others and is therefore on its own ballet. Enjoy the piece I wrote for simple variation (solo dance). I'd like any feedback if at all possible! Thanks so much! No. 7, Pas de six - III. Variation II (Adagio).mp3 -

Hi everyone. Have more or less finished composing this now; though I might tweak the ending a little. It's for a large wind band, and I've posted it before in the incomplete section. The piece represents a dawn chorus in an African jungle, with the animals waking up one by one, each represented by a different instrument. The saxophones are mischievous monkeys, the castanets woodpeckers, the oboe is a snake, the piccolo represents birdsong, etc... I wonder how effective it is in creating the tone picture I was aiming for? I'm not sure I've got the right order for the instruments in my score, but I went with the MuseScore setting for a concert band. Not certain what instrumentation I should recommend: so any hints on that would be helpful! Perhaps I should add some more breath-marks, or make some tweaks to the time signatures? Also not 100% sure how solo/tutti indications work in a wind band. Do they assume tutti unless otherwise indicated? -

Thank you @Luis Hernández, it really means a lot coming from you. I was quite worried about the chromatic harmonies since sometimes I have troubles when trying to use more adventurous harmonies so I am glad that in this piece it kind of worked out well! -

I totally agree. I became interested as soon as I learned a little bit about the main concept behind it about the understanding of how chords are connected through voice leading based on "number of voices moving" and "number of total steps", and how it applies to connecting chords that seem to be, otherwise, unrelated to each other. I am glad to know that you think it is a really useful tool to have! However, it was quite "theory-intensive" so that is why I had to put it aside for some time. As soon as I have some vacation I should spend a few weeks focusing on learning it!
