by playing your works For one you are demonstrating reality, not just abstract concepts there may also be some performer/instrument/acusotics specific aspects only you can do of course being an amateur without the finest techniques I struggle to perform my own works even with more time in practice something I definitely lack irl i might also face musicality or intepretative blind spots so its always helpful to have someone else try to (at least how to) play your work

Just finish Spirited Away last night... Also, I always cry listening this in the credits....

Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Wenhao, a singer from China. Here I would like to share with you a song that I composed - "Ghost Party", a tango-style song that incorporates elements of musical drama. Welcome to listen to it. This song tells the story of a group of cute ghosts having a party, but being deceived by humans who enter their home. I hope through this suspenseful and twist-filled story, we can express a viewpoint: Don't prejudge things, don't view them through tinted glasses or stereotypes. 大家好，我是来自中国的创作歌手张文灏。在这里和大家分享一首我创作的探戈风格、融合音乐剧元素的歌曲《幽灵派对》，欢迎大家收听。 这首歌讲了一群可爱的幽灵在开派对，被闯入家中的人类欺骗的故事。希望通过这个充满悬疑和反转的故事，表达一种观点：不要先入为主，不要带着有色眼镜和刻板印象来看待事物。 歌词如下/The lyrics are as follows： 《幽灵派对》/《Ghost Party》 作曲/Composed by：张文灏 Zhang Wenhao 作词/Lyrics by：张文灏 Zhang Wenhao 蛛网厚结的房中已摆满 蜡烛美酒和丰盛的晚餐 无家可归的幽灵们 夜夜在此狂欢 这里没有外界打扰也没有不快 大家在载歌载舞间笑谈 今天又惩治了哪些混蛋 聊到兴起时飘向空中推杯又换盏 突然 陌生脚印出现在二楼地板 家中一定还有其他人光临 不信你仔细听隐隐的脚步音 管ta是 人或跟 我们同是幽灵 只要有一颗好心 我们一律欢迎 来共饮 幽灵们找到躲藏的女孩 她说被门外的恶人加害 义愤填膺的幽灵们 纷纷惩恶扬善 正要出手之际被知情的鬼阻拦 真相是她欠了对方的债 但是万般抵赖不想偿还 于是她编造谎言妄想来误导判断 反转 有正义感的幽灵把她驱赶 家中不欢迎你这种人光临 别再煽动利用我们的同情心 未知全 貌的事 不该轻易置评 人都挑有利自己 的角度来歪曲 实情 家中似乎还有其他人光临 不信你仔细听隐隐的脚步音 管ta是 人或跟 我们同是幽灵 只要有一颗好心 我们一律欢迎 来共饮

I went through a ragtime phase in high school, and this one I think is the most solid out of the rags i composed. I picture an old squash and stretch car from those classic cartoons, bouncing along at a moderate pace

An arrangement for choir and orchestra of my Overture in C-sharp minor, originally intended for string orchestra alone and first posted yesterday morning. As stated in the original post, this piece's overall character stems from the metaphor of a harsh storm passing, as hinted by the German title shown in the score: "Der abflauende Sturm" (roughly translatable as "The Passing Storm"). Alongside the initial version of the score, now transposed one half-step lower to C minor, two flutes, two oboes, a basoon and a five-part choir have also been added (though only the vocal parts are shown in the video itself, as the others are doubling each voice respectively). The latter's lyrics are a poem I wrote in German more than 3 years ago, back in late April 2022, which reads as follows: Im kaltesten Winter hätt' ich weder Mantel noch Decke, auch keine warme Suppe oder rauchige Salzkartoffeln, nicht mal Orten neben Schornstein, kein Licht einer Kerze. Im heißesten Sommer wär' ich an keinen goldenen Stränden, auch kein' üppigen Wälder will ich schon besichtigen, zwischen Wolken erreichen mich keine Sonnenstrahlen. Entweder ganzleblich, Jahr über oder seit einer Instant gibt es im ganzen Welt nichts was ich will, und es finden können nirgends weder ich noch niemand. Each of the three stanzas are almost evenly distributed across each of the five voices: the basses and tenors sing the first one, the altos and mezzosopranos the second, and the third is reserved for the sopranos. This poem happened to be exceedingly convenient in length to set music to, an advantage which I think I have made good use of here. A rough translation of the poem into English is provided below: In the coldest winter I would have neither coat nor cover, neither would I have a warm soup nor smoked potatoes, not even a place by the fireplace, nor the light of a candle. In the hottest Summer I would stand in no golden shore, nor would I visit any lush forests, no sunrays reach me from between the clouds. For neither in a lifetime, over the years nor for a single moment, is there in the entire world anything of what I want, and that no one can find, neither I nor anyone else. YouTube video link:

I've decided to tackle orchestration again, and this time, I've paired it with vocal. I've actually got into this "game" again recently, so that's why I chose to orchestrate its only song with my own preferences. The main theme may sound like it comes from an anime cus it's from a fcked up anime dating simulator lmao The instrumentation is fairly standard: 3(III=pic).2.3(III=bc).2 - 3.2.0.0 - timpani.percussion(glock, xylo, sus.cymb, cymb, trgl) - alto - strings The audio has a lil bit more than the score. It's a transition to a more quiet section, you may recognize a theme that I've quoted from someone from this forum 👀 Anyways, lemme know what you think about it, I'll probably upload more progress down the line enjoy

Hey @ferrum.wav! I feel really surprised and honoured that you quote my theme in the Image, I love your usage here! I do think the theme fits well here, though in a more playful mood which reminds me of Alice in the Wonderland haha. This is the first time my theme got quoted and honestly it feels wonderful haha. Your modulations and chord progressions sound wonderful and fantastic, also those occasional playful syncopated rhythms fits the atmosphere well! The orchestration is something I have to learn from. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hey @Fugax Contrapunctus! I really really love those suspensions you have in the whole music, it even includes a suspension of false relations in b.5! It reminds me the opening Kyrie of the Mass in B minor in some way, maybe because of its five voice distribution. Thx for sharing! Henry

The score is provided along with a score and audio video along with the Muse score. Link for those who want to see program notes. “ some are more effortlessly get recognized then others ”. “ it’sjust not a skills thing. It’s a luck thing.” From true experience, some people are somehow treated betterthan others whether if it’s from environmental factors, the wholeidea about pretty privilege where some people could effortlesslyget what they want while others have to fight for what they need Now imagine a world where the bottom of the the pyramid fightsand topples the top some may say “ revolution” (Tl;dr, revolution,basically revolution) https://musescore.com/user/53049012/scores/25123696
