The Abduction of the Coyote? Reminds me of the PDQ Bach parody of Mozart operas, The Abduction of Figaro!

Well, you might not want to hear my WW Qt movement from college, but I could revisit the form; perhaps add a guitar...

BTW, this is not a Rhapsody for orchestra, but the first movement of a symphony. Read it and weep, but I know.

You certainly like your Mahler! One can learn orchestration from that guy by only listening and studying the score! It's how I learned, not from College Orchestration Class.

Where did you study? This is good.

I can tell from the introduction alone that this will be good. Grabs me, and I will keep listening!

the final version of the horror 1 chase

This small piece started after i wrote first bars and i liked the outcome. I noticed that i can make up a whole composition from it. It is played by clarinet with some added echo. I don't have sheet for it at the moment. Duration 2:07

I didn't say that! I said it appealed to me more the more I listened to it over and over. That's still true. I do hear that theme now, when listening for it. The theme is actually quite easy to follow! But what perhaps detracts from the theme is that the material in between the statements of the theme doesn't seem related to the theme (and doesn't seem to be a development of the theme). Also, when the theme first comes in in bar 9, the ostinato seems to take center stage and all the attention while the theme is relegated to the background. But now that I listen for it, the theme is quite lucid and tuneful! But don't get me wrong - I thoroughly enjoyed this composition and even more so now that you've helped me notice the theme!

horror 2 alt(s) made in online sequencer because I wanted a break from the complexity of FL studio.

Great! I like the toms at 0:19 and the xylophone sounding notes! I also admire how it quiets down at the end. Great job!

Hello my friends. Im new here . My friend Henry told me about this forum so im glad that i am here with you . Here a bagatelle that i want to share. Bagatelle in B major. I hope you like it https://youtu.be/oIjmE8spNak?si=nf4Rw0C4RrNsjRYM Here my youtube channel so you can check all my compositions. https://www.youtube.com/@VasilisMichael87 Thank you very much

Hi, I'm new here on this forum. I've been making music as a hobby for many years, first mostly guitar (fusion) with keyboard and a DAW (studio one) and in the last couple of years more and more "classical" or rather symphonic music, first in a DAW, but now mostly in Dorico as i like the workflow much better. I've self-studied a lot of theory from books and youtube-videos. These are 3 of my latest compositions. I tend to make something I would call a "fantasy", as I like to let my mind flow and let the themes and ideas flow. Maybe it results in a mess, I'm not sure...😀 I'm writing in Dorico with Noteperformer and I'm using the standard sounds, except the strings where I'm using Spitfire BBC core. The Purple Fields Blue Jelly Eight Crows in a Tree

peter, It is unfortunate to hear that this work did not appeal to you much(sad trumpet noises*). I think I actually did a lot to include the main theme in much of my work: the melody from m. 9 reappears in m. 30, m. 44 and m. 48(as an inversion). The B section itself is based on the same theme, while the C slap-tongue section utilizes a different material. I guess the theme isn’t as easy to follow since it has a quirky meter and twists + turns. Thank you for commenting on my use of extended techniques tho, always good to exploit my performers fullest potential(apart from the percussion).

VARIATION 2 has been fully scored!!! yipiieeee much more rhythm heavy, orchestration is much more heavier, theme is still very much recognizable, just under different context

Kudos on finishing your first orchestral composition. As other have said, you are quoting others. I hear Venus! To me, this is beautiful. 🙂

I used this prompt: At 84 BPM, this 7-minute track fuses atonal, serialist synth pulses and evolving textures, building slowly with sparse, shifting patterns. Verses feature minimalist motifs and precise percussion, while choruses unleash glitchy break core and DnB drums—rapid, fragmented, and hyper-detailed. It's a secret for now, but I created a website that generates atonal fugues at the press of a button: Projects - David Harper Then, with the generated midi file, I upload to Suno.com - it began picking up on atonal, serialism, and explicitly, Schoenberg.

Hello @K. A. Frayre! Welcome to the forum! I haven't listened to your music yet, but I have seen that you put each page of the score as JPG here, and the resolution is very clear. Would you instead upload the pdf file of the score so that viewers can look into the details in your music more easily? Also, it saves up space for your post haha. Thx for joining our forum! Henry

I've been working on a piece based on musical language from the eastern Hemisphere, and just wanted some feedback on it, if possible. I plan to make it 10+ minutes long, and would like to see if I could add or fix things before I start working on the 2nd movement. Here's a link to the score video: And higher quality images of the score:

horror 1 (not 3, sorry) chase rework rework (yes, that's a thing.)

hi @PeterthePapercomPoser thank you for the feedback as always! I agree with you it should be cut-time. No wonder it felt a little strange.. haha. I use a combination of Musescore and Dorico.

To break up the computer-assisted music a bit, here is a very different one composed in a more traditional fashion:

Hey @Alex Weidmann! So this is the piece you wrote that was inspired by "To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X? It's not bad! When I listen to the original piano piece, and compare it to yours the first thing that I notice is that, in the original the melody is brought out more in high relief. You can do this too if you use MS Basic Piano soundfont and offset the velocity values of the melody to about 32 higher than the rest to really bring it out of the overall texture. There are plenty of great emotive harmonic moments in your piece that get lost among the mind numbing narrative of imbalanced piano noodling. When you don't bring out the melody, the listener doesn't know what to listen for and retreats into a passive listening mode, which is what I think is happening here. That's my advice - thanks for sharing!

Hi to all. This piano work was inspired by Nobuo Uematsu's music from Final Fantasy X. I feel like it's not a great piece, probably because it's been revised too many times, and sounds disjointed as a result. But interested to know what you think!
