    I like your theme here very much. It would give you lots of interesting room for development. As for the voice software, I do think it can really help people understand how a piece will sound all put together. Even among professionals working in the arts, not everyone is good at visualizing a finished product, so anything that pushes a demo towards accurate representation of the performed work can be helpful for people checking out your work. How much work and expense is it to put this extra layer into the recording? For something like this, where you have orchestra plus soloists and choir, it may be more worth it than for smaller works, because if you didn't, it might be hard to choose an instrument to represent the voices that would stand out in the mix, particularly for someone who was trying to read across the full orchestral score and pay attention to everything at once. Looking forward to seeing the development of this project!
  3. Honestly, very stupid question if not a much more stupider idea. But is it possible if someone for a competition brings in a piece of music that they have already written prior to the competition, and if it coincidentally fits the criteria they could enter it. This sort of makes sense if they want that piece of music if they’re confident in it to get it judged in a different way.
  4. Hello, I listen to this a few days ago in the car so my memory may not be as fresh, but I didn’t have time to actually review anything. From what I could remember, the composition technique was good and the piece itself was good. It’s just good to keep note that you’re using multiple string instruments per section. At most, this is supposed to be a quintet. You’re calling for multiple violins, violas, and cellos as well with the samples corresponding to such. Anyways, I’m going to be listening to your piece again and I’ll give feedback there. Score presentation is also kind of interesting. A lot of the notation you use isn’t usually found in modern string Orchestra stuff for example like those repetition things that you put into the following measure in a lot of octave lines that’s usually used only for piano stuff. Also, some of the stuff that you may have presented may be difficult for some string players along with some double stops you have presented Your score average is 7.45 Like always keep up the good work MelodiesThemes Motives Harmony Chords Textures Form Development Structure Time Originality Creativity Score Presentation Instrumentation Orchestration Playability Execution of Given Challenge Taste 8.7 9 8.5 7.9 6.5 6.8 5 7.2

    @PeterthePapercomPoser I must say the love reverb on romance. It reminds of those old pieces you hear, you know. (and you know what I mean). I love the lush chromatic lines in this piece. You definitely have strong writting skills.
  7. Here is my 3 string quartet becouse 1 and 2 didint finished yet so i present you this this is the pdf: String quartet no 4 op 3.pdf this is musescore:musescore mp3 file:String quartet no 4 op 3.mp3
  8. I spend a lot of time refining this composition over a period of a few months. Working almost sorely on this piece alone. I also attached the first version of the composition so you can see the difference. Did I make real improvements? Any critique? Thanks in advance.

  9. Hello, I just looked at your piece “war born”. Just to get the bad news out of the way the score was presented kind of messy with a bunch of overlapping symbols. Honestly, this isn’t a huge problem musically. Anyways, orchestration wise, there was a bunch of very interesting textures and a lot of other cool things happening. One thing I noticed that there was a use of some synthesizer. You may want to turn those down a bit as that they were kind of burying everything underneath them. You can hear this is a very loud piece of music, especially with the distortion that sometimes is achieved with this (my own work “ sonic diarrhea” actually ran into this problem, but this was just because of having the master mixer on max, which could easily be fixed by making it back to normal). Anyways, awesome work well done.
  10. Yes, you are correct. This is written for five percussionists and each set up is encompass in a bracket. Some instruments are mounted to racks and or mounted to the mallet percussion instrument. (assuming that there are mounting rails.) and that there are various tables for handheld instruments and other things.
  11. Melodies Themes Motives Harmony Chords Textures Form Development Structure Time Originality Creativity Score Presentation Instrumentation Orchestration Playability Execution of Given Challenge Taste 6.5 6.5 7 7 4 4 6.5 7 Average Score: 6 Review: Melodies/Themes/Motives - The melody is lovely; much of the piece is structured as a melody with accompaniment. Given its length, one would expect a little more development of the motifs so that it doesn’t sound too flat.. Harmony/Chords/Textures - The harmony is beautiful and has a certain modal quality. I would also have expected some kind of modulation or other change, particularly given the repetition of the motif. Form/Development/Structure/Time - The piece appears to be in ABA form. Originality/Creativity - The original touch is choosing the viola as the solo instrument. Score Presentation - The score is confusing due to the constant crossing of voices and the choice of certain clefs for the staves, etc.. Instrumentation/Orchestration/Playability Multiple stop orders are placed without considering whether or not they might actually be executed. It also exceeds the number of instruments that are supposed to be used. Execution of Given Challenge - As for the atmosphere it creates, I think it’s just right, but when it comes to the technical aspects, not so much.. Taste - Nice.
  12. I've been doing a compose everyday challenge and this is the miniature from Day 13. Probably the first piece from the challenge that genuinely feels like a complete character piece to me rather than just an experiment or sketch. So i decided to share it would love to hear what u guys think! YouTube link 13.mp3 13.pdf
