@Wieland Handke I truly love the baroque instruments you have chosen for this trio. The counterpoint between them creates rich harmonies and melodies! I can see how this would be played with in a church.

@EmotionallyChargedMusic I love the textures that you use in this track. I can imagine robots marching along and humans destroying them. Overall, it is rather cyber punk. Thank you for sharing. Kvothe.

Hello my fellow composers! I bring you good cheers with this waltz. I was influenced by Woo works by Beethoven. While he has known for his large opus works, the woo works were less known. To me, they are fit with in early his period. They can be used to teach us much about harmony, form, and counterpoint. The waltz I wrote demonstrates: 1. BInary form is easy form to write with 2. T-D scheme is great approach. 3. Melodic sequences! and many more. Style: classical time: possible around early 1800's? Side note: I have not posted anything to YT. I am planning to: and those will be shared on here, with links.

You are what you are, i wasn’t even talking to you. The person was wondering how suno works so I explained it to him. I play a little bit of guitar, I only write tab, Lyrics and I use suno. I didn’t ask you for an explanation. Nor would I want to ask you for anything 🫠

Thanks for listening! I do think there's some Baroque influence in it, though the Hummel concerto was probably the model most present in my head. As I was writing the second movement, I did worry the style was veering too far toward Romanticism, but I liked the movement and didn't want to change it.

Thanks for listening! Yeah, I was going for an antique English sound with those C naturals. By the way, I've been intending to listen to your C sharp minor sonata in full (I listened to the first movement when you first posted it on YouTube) but want to do so when I have plenty of time to enjoy it and give you comments.

My zeroth submission:

Hey all, I've lately become a little sick of writing solo piano music—I did set myself a goal of writing preludes in all the major keys and am nowhere near done—so I decided I wanted to try something new before the new year rolls around? This is my first time trying to write for this ensemble and also the first time I've ventured properly out of my usual idiom (normally Late Romantic/Impressionist with sprinkles of jazz and Asian folk influences). I don't exactly know what genre I tumbled into but I definitely like the general sound I'm getting from it. That being said I am certainly not finished but I figured I'd get some opinions first before I keep going... Cheers!

Fair point :3 ive actually fixed both of those issues in the finalized version I gotta stop relying on feedback tbh For example i almost never use the viola for melodic lines simply because musecore's playback for it is terrible

It sounds good, and it’s in keeping with the title. I think some aspects still need refinement or closer attention. For instance, there are moments where six French horns have been written (in chords). Or that part at the end, around measures 35-36... in fortissimo, the harp won't be heard at all.

It is a very enjoyable and coherent concerto. Discussing its style is complicated, even if we use it as a point of reference. For me, it evokes certain Baroque memories, but that is due to the solo instrument: the trumpet, given that there are hardly any concertos for it in the Classical period (aside from Haydn and Hummel) and even fewer in the Romantic era. I find the first movement to be more in line with a Classical approach, while the Adagio feels more Romantic. In any case, it is a great piece of work in terms of composition, orchestration, and editing.

Tintinnabuli is Árvo Párt.

Your replies make me believe more that you may be lobbyist or salesperson of Suno lol... Maybe you never write absolute music yourself... Tintinnabuli is a technique and compostional style, but I guess if I explain to you I will once again be stigmatized as "elitism" ,so, 😴. Henry

Suno is basically you write lyrics, add instruments you want and the music genre you want then generate a song and see if you like it. If not you can tweak it until you like it and since you already know music, it will be a lot easier for you to create masterpieces. So I guess tintinnabuli is like a set piece or something and adding something to it or voices or other instruments, would mess it up?

I like the microtonal version more than the normal D minor version this time, because it makes the theme even more haunting and grosteque. I really love the harmony here, and that piccolo is toxic to listen to. The timbre is very well created especially with the double bass to create the evil mood. The only thiing sounds slightly off to me is the recording's solo violin, which to me sound a bit too loud comparing to all other passages. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hi @mercurypickles! I like the more antique mood in the carol and how you end each phrase in a Picardy 3rd! And I always love how calm and transcendental F# major is (even though you mark the key signature as F# minor). Thx for sharing! Henry

Hi @Luis Hernández! I love how peaceful this piece is. That bare A I don't know why, reminds me of the Veris leta facies in Carmina Burana: Thx for sharing! Henry

Hi @Aiwendil! Just like @Luis Hernández said this one is very joyful and solemn to listen to. I love how you augur the theme by trumpet first and then followed by other instruments. That Lydian sounding C natural in b.16 and 20 hints at a more antique English style and I like it. The imitation section follows is nicely done as well, and very nice reprise as well, with the Amen cadence at the end! Thx for sharing! P.S. Thx for your comments on my youtube channel for my Violin Sonata! Henry

Mike this one is funny! The mashup doesn't sound too off together and well fitted to the Xmas mood haha. Henry

Hi @Wieland Handke! Of course this one is more colorful than your first submission, but both are good in their own ways. The first one in a chamber setting is more calm and serene in character, while this one is more "universal" and broader with an orchestral setting. Thx for sharing the second version and submission! Henry

Hi @Wieland Handke! I love how the three instruments blend together and honestly this is the first time I heard of the instrument Theorbo and it said it's somewhat like a lower register lute. Like Mike said this piece is really calm, especially with the lower volume organ and the Theorbo. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hi @HoYin Cheung! It sounds a lot like the interlocking structure of Gamelan but this time with chimes and marimba haha. Nice polyrhythm as well. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hi @Vavrinec! This is a really enjoyable festive little miniature! It's so joyful to listen to, and even if the mood sounds easy you still use technique to make it sound easy. The opening is already captivating with the 6/8 lively rhythm. The combination of the flute melody, high shivering tremolo strings, running notes for Clarinet and the triangle aleady set the festive tone really well, and then the oboe joins in which is a nice addition. I may repeat the whole section but this with the strings doing the melody and winds doing the accompaniment. For the trio section I like how you give lower register instrument like bassoon and cello to sing the melody, contrasting with the main section, plus in a warmer subdominant key. B.25-32 gives great depth to the melody and I really love how you add the sleigh bell ! Honestly I just want the passage to extend to infinity! And the end, what a nice random pause! It really creates a humorous effect that is well suited to the mood of the piece. Really nice piece, thx for sharing! Henry

Hi @Crescent Roulade! This Christmas piece gives me a Chinese feeling because of its use of pentatonic notes. I do enjoy this little piece! Like @PeterthePapercomPoser said I perceive the melody to begin rather on beat than in syncopation, and in 4/4 time than 8/4 time. Thx for joining the event! Henry

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. To be honest, I have no idea how Suno works. But in that case, the basis of this piece, which is the tintinnabuli, would be broken.
