Hello Everybody, It has been another long while since I've posted but I've definitely been composing during my time away. This is a work written for a 2-week composition festival I attended, lots of great opportunities and people when I was there. The festival is called the "ICEBERG Institute"(https://www.icebergnewmusic.com/about) if you're interested. Anyways, hope to hear your thoughts on this piece in regards to harmony, melody and rhythm. I am trying to work in a new(jazz?) idiom and I'm not sure how it sounds to others. Thank you for the support

pretty good! both sound like an average rock song!

So, remember when i said i wasn't gonna be posting because i was working on a song? Well here's the song I was working on. Please reply how you liked It! i made this song with only instruments from deltarune chapter 2 so it's a bit like Serious.

Haha thx! Yeah I try to be playful here which sounds quite Haydnesque. It's not finished! There will be a fourth and final movement and stay tuned! Henry

if you like my work, please follow me and subscribe to my youtube channel. i will post every single song i compose.

sorry, all of my songs are .wav's so i have to use a converter to make them applicable for this website but sometimes it does'nt work so that's why there's no mp3.

sorry there's no video, I forgot to upload it on my channel.

its supposed to be final wave, but i used voice to text and it didnt go so well.

i made a song out of only instruments used in deltarune chapter 1 in fl studio.

Thank you!

Hi Henry. This reminds me of Haydn and Mozart. Definitely sounds Late Classical to my ear. Congrats on finishing this major work! Alex

Yet another very melodically accessible installment in your Violin Sonata! It's very easy to get sucked into listening to it over and over because of its accessibility, which happened to me multiple times when I listened on this page and then opened the YT link. And the piece is seamless structurally despite having the much more important (imo) melodic coherence than structural coherence. It's also amazing that you manage to smoothly quote my Postlude theme from my Suite for Strings! It's quite easy to identify and I love hearing this little Easter egg that you included in this sonata! The piece is definitely scherzo-like, random pauses included (actually the random pauses enhance the scherzo-like atmosphere as they prepare the anticipation for a sudden surprising restarting of the momentum. I also love the modulations to Ab major, Db major and Eb minor. The piece is very harmonically adventurous! Great job and thanks for sharing!

Very snappy light piece...and of course gotta love those random pauses haha. Also, very cool motif that you use throughout (4 sixteenth notes followed by an 8th note). The ending though, it makes me yearn for a cadence!

Hi! This is the third movement of my Violin Sonata in B flat major, commissioned by and dedicated to Arjuna Clark @expert21. It's a Scherzo not only feature a lot of the ARJUNA motive, but also some references on Beethoven and my friend Peter's themes. I find this movement really funny! It's set in F major and have a modulatory end, as both suggested by Arjuna. The audio is again made by @Thatguy v2.0. Here is the score and YT video of the movement: Violin Sonata in B-flat major 3rd mov.pdf 0:00 Scherzo Proper. Use a lot of ARJUNA motive right from the start. First big change is a modulation to A flat major, then a random pause in 0:35, which is a technique I love to use ever since I was accused of having used it in my 3rd Piano Sonata lol. The music then modulates to E major, where I play with @PeterthePapercomPoser’s theme of his Postulde in Suite for Strings. This acts at some kinds of advertisement as I would be using this theme in my next composition. It ends firmly in F major, but then modulates unexpectedly in D-flat major. 1:22 Trio. As you can see from the tempo marking of "Largo molto very ultra religioso", you know it's a joke. I play with Beethoven's theme in his op.135 slow movement here, even though personally I worship this piece and his late quartets A LOT. I have it juxtaposed with the quick scherzo ARJUNA passages for funny montage effect. At the end I just quote the awakening call from Beethoven's op.110 Piano Sonata 3rd movement, again as a joke, as a wake up call for nothing here. 2:39 Repetition of Scherzo Proper. Though at the end it rather modulates to B-flat major, the global tonic major of the piece, to achieve an attaca to the final movement of the work. Here are the previous movements posted on YC forum: 1st movement: 2nd movement: Here are the references for the movement: Peter’s Theme: Beethoven’s op.135 slow movement theme: Hope you enjoy and leave some comments!
