I'm withdrawing my participation. Competition or not, if you're putting on essentially a display of music created by members and also giving out site badges for them, then I feel that music should actually be created and produced by the members of the forum. I want my music alongside other human-created works.

Thank you.

@Kvothe Greetings! Thank you so much for reviewing my piece! I see what you mean about using treble clef more for the higher stuff instead of ledger lines. i do the same thing with high bassoon parts, and I should probably pay more attention to that. As for shifting positions as I've called for, I've written this piece more for a highly proficient player - not a virtuoso necessarily, but the equivalent of someone with a master's degree in performance - and what I've written shouldn't present too much of a problem for a player of that calibre. I'm a violist myself, and I can play this. I've also showed it to another violist, and he found nothing prohibitive about it. Thanks again very much!

this is actually extreamly impressive I have to say I do wounder how is that chopinish feel achived? because right from the start this feels like something he would write, and I honestly have no idea how you did that

oh that sounds wounderful honestly! now I'm a bit jealous as I am sixteen as well and I don't get close to your level but oh well everyone starts somewhere :3 I'll take into account your correction about the sharps and flats, and maybe I'll extend the piece when I have time, thanks 😄

A piano piece I wrote called Lazy Day. I think I could've elaborated more in some sections but overall fits the theme of the song 😄 Looking for feedback on the piano score as I know notation is not my strong suite. Thanks in advance & hope you enjoyed listening! Lazy Day Score.pdf

Hi! I'm looking for any feedback on a string quartet that I composed so that I can make some refinements before entering it in a few competitions. Thanks!

For Good Friday. SAB and cello, or one hand of piano or organ if you don't have a cellist. Choirs always have a harder time finding tenors and basses than female singers, and the problem is worse right now, when so many older singers left due to the pandemic and haven't returned yet. So I thought I would write something with a baritone part that sits right in the middle of the male range. An actual baritone will have a few lovely notes on either side of the range that this is written, but this particular piece can be sung by a tenor without going too low, and also isn't too high for a bass. So whoever you happen to have in your choir, this should be performable, and in normal times, when the tenors and basses together are generally still pretty few in numbers, you'll get a nice balanced sound against the sops and altos. Any thoughts on my cello slurring, cellists? I played violin off and on, but I would love the take of current string players. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Hey Vince, I really like the music and enjoy playing it. I have to say, playing it helps relieve some of my pain during these few days when the fire engulfs at least 156 residents in HK. I love the variety you added in the music despite keeping it simple, for example the dynamics plus harmonic change like in b.20, 29 and 31, and keeping the counterpoint oblique. In my recording during the long phrase in b.11-19 I did add some dynamic changes of my own which is not included in the score haha. Thx for sharing. Henry

Hello @J. Lee Graham: First, let address the technical issues. In the first movement, you have the viola jump from the jump positions a lot. This is technically hard for the player. You have E# in 3rd pos to 1st pos. It could easier, if this was you kept on the same pos. On a similar note, you can use the treble cleft when notes go to IV. It is easier to read without the legar lines. On the overall form, it does fit, with in the era you want to write for. Great job.

"Jesus was Born this Day," is a hymnal song that includes, Euouae. Haven't heard the amen since the medieval times, thought I'd bring it back to present. The chords are adventurous and don't make much sense. However, this was the palette that I wanted for artificial intelligence to include. AI, did pick up the tune very well, except for the Euouae that was wanted for Descant. Anyone know how to do that in a prompt for AI? I'm out of ideas, I even used the braille's "In accord," to get AI to pick up the command. Other than that, the chorus was botched to good effect, read as the melody after a vowel chant. In effect, AI made a new chorus. Overall, the song is represented well, and I am happy with that. Enjoy!

Because of controversy surrounding the following piece being generated with the help of artificial intelligence it was at first disqualified from the event. But the staff have since changed their mind and will allow @Vonias to participate:
