Hey, thanks a lot for your analysis! It's amazing that you can pick up on these things! I've also listened to a lot of Mahler (favorite being the 4th movement of his 9th) and I even have the scores of all of his symphonies in my bookshelf. I used to read these in the breaks between classes at university.

Hello Thank you for listening. The tintinnabuli technique (by Ärvo Pärt) usually develops the ENTIRE work on a triad and scale basis. Of course, you can do whatever you want and change the chord-scale. But as I am learning as deeply as possible this technique, I am following it ...

Hello @PeterthePapercomPoser Thank you so much for your feedback! Of course, I had no intention to lie to anyone, lol, but it was my first time posting a topic here and I'm not quite experienced, so I may have made a mistake. Thank you for your words, I appreciate it very much. Such comments help me to compose better, and at the same time give me the enthusiasm and zeal to continue!

Hi @Luis Hernández! It's an interesting technique always having to have at least one voice having to use only chord factors. Can you change the chord that you're arpeggiating midway through the piece or are you stuck in B minor? It does make for melancholy and affecting music. Thanks for sharing!

Hello @Vavrinec and welcome back to the forum! I first followed this thread and closed the window and came back to the site later to find that your composition still seemed to be in the "unread" state in the activity list. But I guess that is because you made the title of the thread bold? You fooled me! And because you did I was tricked into clicking on the topic again and listening to this wonderful composition again. LoL I love what you're doing with the orchestration and the inversions of the chords that you're using in the harmony to create a nice bass line for the melody and smooth voice leading. I love how it starts so bittersweet and serene and grows to be very passionate and intense. The effect is especially great with the horn glissando/rip near the end of the excerpt. It would be really fun to play! Thanks for sharing this beautiful and reverential piece.

Hey @Mooravioli! I like this concept! And I could easily hear the original melodies in the rendition! I like the jazz trio idea of a jam improvisational jam session based on classical melodies. Although I think it would be much better executed if you could get an actual jazz trio to play it live. It's so hard to make jazz sound natural if you have to write out all the notes LoL. Great job nonetheless! Thanks for sharing.
