Hello there! Here is the latest installment of preludes, no.16. This one deals with a lot of two voice counterpoint and a relentless ramble on one theme. As a personal side note, these have been a lot of fun to write, and it's been great simultaneously writing a bunch at once. I had a sporadic burst of ideas when I started this one, and it lead to a lot of spread out writing. I guess what I'm SAYIN' is... more to come! :D Thanks for listening and reading... any comments of any kind are welcome! P.S. some of those tempo markings are to mimic rubato, dunno I suck as an editor Prelude No 16.mp3 Prelude No 16 - Score.pdf

Merci beaucoup ! Je suis ravi que cela vous plaise :)

Wow! Just wow! This is such an honour - I am out of words! Those arrangements are absolutely incredible! Sorry for the late reply, I was actually hospitalised for the last week due to some stomach complications that left me incurred with a lot of internal blood loss. As for the vocals in my version, they were actually generated using a vocal synthesizer and not my own voice - so if you wanted some authentic vocals to mix, I’ll be sure to send them once I recover. Or if you wanted to use the vocals I generated for my version, I can send that to you as well. Anyways, it is a tremendous honour. Absolutely loved the orchestration that you put forward!

This is my "Seven Sententiae for Clarinet, Op. 395". It is one of my most ambitious set of sententiae both in overall length and individual sententiae. It is also one of my greatest compositions for a monodic instrument. I hope that you enjoy listening to it and would welcome your feedback.

An emotional piece with a meticulously crafted score. The multi-divisional arrangement of the string section is particularly interesting.

I do these sorts of instant composition exercises, or did a lot in the past. Find one in a drawer or box...actually, the coda was added later in Noteflight, because I only found one page! The original ending can't have been much.

I really the the transition in the first theme! I really like the rhythm too. It is interesting. The start of the second theme is beautiful. Anyways, very interesting Potpourri.

To quote myself with regard to the program I've been working on, in a conversation with Google Gemini: "...while the processing is very slow even on a fast computer, the results do not any longer sound like an interesting special effect; they sound smooth, clear, rich, and unobtrusive, which is exactly what I was trying to achieve. The program does what I consider a superior job at automated remixing. If one doesn't want to spend hours, days even, remixing a sound file by hand, this is, I think, the way to go, particularly because you're never going to get the mathematical precision of this program if you do remixing the normal way. Given that the processing is now beginning to get very slow, the results have achieved a more than adequate degree of excellence, adding more features would risk breaking the program's workings, and I am low on realistic ideas on how to improve the program, I think at this point, we can consider the project more or less done for now." All the music links in this thread have been updated with the new sound, and here are a few more links to music:

Hello! This one of my pieces with lesser compositional quality... It was a very fun piece to work with so im posting it here too, just for the sake of it. Its for organ or harpsichord, in this midi recording its for organ wich i think fits nicely with the more contrapuntal style of this piece. This is a Fantasia (Back in the renaissance and early baroque era, the genre of the fantasia was just a broad therm for anything improvisational or without a structure) wich i used a renaissance popular tune called "La Bassa Fiamenga", You can find this melody extensively on various pieces of that time, and its one of the lesser known ones. Enjoy! Fantasia sopra la Bassa Fiamenga (2).mp3

Do we have to pay to know the ending this time? 🤑😜

It's Organum tho lol! The only term makes me laugh is "Contemporary Music" lol.

My String SEXtet must make you laugh lol Henry

The 4th in my Emotude series, this one explores a more minor and sombre landscape. Hope to soothe your Spring spirits. Thanks!

Yes! Its actually not at all unstylistic, on smaller renaissance bands like Consorts and Alta Capella, dynamics where used. The problem is that i don't know how to use finale very well, wich is the software i use to make it, so tweaking the dynamics the way i would want would take a lot of effort, so its best to keep it bland.

Thank you!

Sextuplets (16th note triplets) JOINTS (head joint / foot joint / etc) pp Tutti

G String (orchestra, guitar, and ukulele) Nut (guitar and ukulele) Ogranum (organ piece with one pedal note held a very long time) Scat (A form of jazz singing that uses improvised nonsense syllables to create a melody... NOT animal poop)

😯 Wow... This piece really transported me there. Therefore an amazing submission, outstanding work. You seem like you may be a string player with your preference on hand position, and your pfp, but I still must say, this is some very difficult music to play. If I were to find out that a chamber group was going to play this, my first question no matter the group, would be if they could pull it off. But if I trusted the group, I would NEED to hear this.

Very nice! Reminds me of Mendelssohn.

I see. Anyway, I’m going through the pieces as they’re uploaded (there’s only one so far). But I’d prefer to send the results at the end, so I can compare them with one another.

I made one more improvement to the program, and I've also learned to perfect the settings more or less. The pieces in the above post now reflect this improvement, having been replaced with updated sound files, as do the ones in this post.

The competition is open to nationals of all countries. It aims to enrich the symphonic repertoire, particularly for youth ensembles, while discovering new talents and fostering exchanges with experienced composers. It also seeks to draw attention to the importance of water as a vital and universal resource. The theme of this edition is “Water in All Its Forms”. There are two categories: one for candidates under 30 years of age (born after 31 March 1997), with works lasting 6 to 8 minutes, and one for candidates aged 30 and over (born before 31 March 1997), with works lasting 8 to 10 minutes. The selection process will take place in three rounds. The first round requires a sketch of the score (with audio recording); the second round requires a complete score (with audio recording); and in the final round, the selected scores will be performed by a European youth symphony orchestra. Prizes totalling €20,500. Seven prizes will be awarded: in each category, three prizes (€5,000, €3,000 and €2,000). In addition, an Audience Award (“Coup de cœur”) of €500, common to both categories, will be given. The registration fee is €50. Entries must be submitted by midnight (CET) on 31 August 2026. Candidates are invited to complete the registration form (https://forms.gle/Vn9XSMQcN4VoDnV59). Afterwards, a link will be sent for uploading the required documents.

I am now on version 23 of my psychoacoustic remixer. Here is a screenshot plus three links to music it has modified.
