Quite the mighty show this is it was definitely a journey to listen to…~ that I usually do all of my critique in a transcript sort of like a judge tape this piece is definitely too long for me to do that. so to avoid this becoming a giant paragraph where it would take days to read I would just say my thoughts and observations here from memory definitely what a monumental piece. This was it sounded like the creation of life too, and definitely amazing with the pacing those little Interlude and instrument features kind of made the thing feel fresh and also variations within the common theme of just diatonic dissonance throughout. I don’t know Spanish or anything so you could correct me, but on the orchestration in the instrumentation, you wanted hand bells to be used. The thing about that is usually you’ll have multiple people play them in this case you’re treating it like it’s own mallet instrument which in this case they could be mounted on something. though that this is told to be for a virtual ensemble, it would be quite the piece for a existing orchestra to play in real life Monumental work for you keep going

I like the feature with the basset horns. I definitely like the orchestration used with that that’s my first impression. I like the initial progressive so far. I like the tone that’s invoked at the 3/4 measure. Lovely crescendo. Amazing with the progression with the dynamics. and awesome oboe solo too I love the route in the path. This piece is taking me. The 6/8 section also sounds good. awesome ending as well. I like the hemiola that’s also provided within the closer. Amazing work.

The ideas you have written down are very good ,either continue with the structure you have with your peice or use these ideas in variations and what not. it looks like you already set up some variations as well. Sometimes I think when a dotted quarter note that is unisonly played feels a little bit amateur to me. If you wanna sound professional, definitely fill in those spaces. Like a downward 16 note run you could use. The flow and direction of the music is very open and you could benefit from a lot so definitely keep on finding and trying what works best for you anyways good work and amazing work.

I’ll just be looking at eight crows in a tree today just the title already makes it sound like a dark but light piece. Kind of like that beginning it’s more monophonic than anything else, but it sounds good though. kind of like the imitation from the winds to sound like crows. I don’t know if that’s intentional, but that was a good effect though. It kind of feels empty, but the effect of it being empty makes the piece like hollow in a sort of sense. OK, I like the harmonic development that’s going on. Around the three minute mark. Nice percussion feature. I do see the use of the Octotonic scale. Great ending with that chord. OK in terms of development I get this style is supposed to be free flowing which is achieved in a good manner and is done effectively. It really takes a good year and some getting used to to go with the flow of this piece. Anyways, good job keep it up.

Wow, that beginning is very serene. I love this harmonic content. It’s giving off already. OK, I love the layering with this with the themes. Make sure you give the double bass something to play. I like the re-entering of the main theme later on that is a really nice touch. I think the recording shut off at three minutes. I don’t know if it’s supposed to go longer, but if that’s the end, it feels unfinished. anyways, good job with this I really love the feel and style you’re going through

So I was going to submit a piece it just did not fit the format anyways I enjoy having competitions. I think they are very fun and is a great way to inspire and showcase other people’s music. However, I am very inspired by how marching band competitions do things I’ll give you some ideas I do like having the idea of a specific theme but most marching band competitions Don’t really have themes so different entries do pee a lot, even some contrasting ideas from one band to another another good idea I have is some sort of classification system, usually in marching bands this is to keep a competition fair and not to give anybody an advantage. This is usually done with two variables, being size and skill level. (usually differentiating between A class and open class and having a number explaining the size I being the smallest V usually being the largest.) so a III A band is a medium size developing band compared to a V open which is basically it’s whole entire military unit on its own my idea for a classification system is just a differentiate from composition from the ensemble either being for a solo musician A small chamber work, a string, Orchestra concert band and large Orchestra Concert band and large orchestra may be scored in the same classification I do like the scoring rubric or like a specific format. I don’t really care about having a monetary award, but it would be fun knowing the precise points you earned from your piece so you could see where you can improve upon and also it’s just more fun for numbers (I like numbers for some reason.). So those are my ideas and feedback.

Hello, I enjoy this piece a lot. I appreciate the key changes and the harmonic context given. The rhythmic content is also really good. The only things I have to say, though is that the left-hand could be a little bit louder in the introduction in the first few measures first 30 most likely. Also, this is just a playability issue but make sure that some of the left-hand stuff if it goes above the staff to put in treble if need be. I think you’re already doing it but there’s some parts where there’s like six ledger lines on the left hand. But I enjoy the moment given off from this piece. Good job.

That’s nice to know

OK, then I’ll probably opt out of it then. Will there be any ensemble competitions? Anything that’s featuring a full orchestra or string Orchestra or like that

OK, I wanna enter a piece inside of this competition. Where should I enter it? Should I like do something special or can I just post it here? I declare my interest to enter this competition.

possible performance notes: one May fear that uncertainty is one thing. Not knowing what’s ahead of you is definitely something people fear but what if there’s the opposite. Inevitability. You know it’s coming, but you do not know when. Well when it does, it leaves a strong lasting mark you could either look back or run. But your fate is you’re going to have to deal with it no matter what…

This is actually a personal narrative. I generated the character names as pseudonyms for privacy reasons (so I don’t get yelled by the actual people.) This is all written in the perspective of Ross (the pseudonym for me). As you could see, this is a part three out of four parts and I have the fourth act already written. I just have to edit it and add the names. Feel free to check out the first and 2nd movement. It has some musical context along with the storyline. But thank you for listening to it. I always wanted an analysis or at least feedback of the piece. So definitely thank you

Can I have the score to this? This way I can give more detailed feedback and also talk about orchestration.

The chord progression sounds very similar to Vivaldi‘s winter concerto for the first movement. Same thing with the rhythm, but articulated differently with more aggression. Also, there is some twinkle sound. I don’t know if it’s a glockenspiel or glass bottles or literal icicles being played on. It sounds nice, but some are out of time unless if that’s your intention.

Look in the description of video for performance notes. I also had attached a PDF of the score. Keep note that this is one of my shorter works and has been rushed so not a lot of effort had been put into this
