A piece for encouraging myself to be brave and strong

Being a boy growing up in Hong Kong and studies music in the UK, here's a piece that I compose which may sound like both asian and western music.

Most harmonies and melodies are a sudden inspiration triggered by different emotional memories. I don't know how I feel about this new piece but I hope you all can get something from it.

A new piece composed for string orchestra

Thank you so much for the comments as always :) glad you enjoyed it

Not sure what to do during lockdown and quarantine, so I decided to write a new piece of music. As the title suggested, this piece involves both tragic and love, which can be hard to distinguish these two sometimes. Is it tragic or is it love ? I'll let you all decide hehe x

As a religious person myself, I encountered different spiritual warfare everyday and one day I tried to create the warfare with music. I ended up writing a string orchestra piece with some interesting harmonies and repetitive melodic shape. I think I'm starting to discover my kind of harmony which is great, hope you all enjoy this 🙂

Thank you all for you lovely comments

Thank you for you advice and tips :)

Just composed this piece "Come away, come away, death" for SATB choir, a really short piece so hope you guys can have a listen through.

Thank you !

Thank you for your lovely comment :) What do you suggest to make it less repetitive but has a recognisable melody/harmony ?

Just finished the first movement of my new project. The first movement is introduced by an 8-bar section (slow), follow by an exciting syncopated section. The development involves elements from both sections and goes to a soothing C major slow section, which is interrupted by the syncopated section inspired coda. Please enjoy 🙂

An Agnus Dei in Eb minor. The skill required for the solo soprano is really high as there are sustained high notes and chromatic melodic lines, main harmony is suggested by the string orchestra. Hope you all enjoy this piece 🙂

Finally I have a chance to compose something for a bigger sized orchestra and piano solo. This is my first time composing music for such big varieties of instruments. This piece describes a person's life, ups and downs. With the use of a special chord in Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht.. Please have a listen and enjoy 🙂 Song of Life.mp3
