Wish you the best of luck on the performance! Though I had a bit of trouble with the MIDI (probably something on my end) I liked what I heard, and I think the aleatoric parts will really come through well. How large of a group will be performing this?

Thank you for all of your input so far, and sorry about the quality of the score! Though this is just a draft (haven't cleaned up clashing and such yet), I did learn a few things: ledger lines confuse the heck out of me, so that's why I used 8vb lines instead; didn't know any of the rules octave modifier lines, for that matter; and thanks for the rule on dynamics in vocal parts - I guess, being a singer before I ever started writing for voice, I never noticed the difference. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for all the replies :D I don't really see the connection either, to be honest, but at the time, the title sounded good, so I just left it as it was. As for the notation issues, thank you for bringing them to my attention. I guess not considering this a 'serious' composition, I rather overlooked some of them and just let Sibelius do whatever it deemed best. Thanks for the welcoming :o)

Alright, so the hot water heater in the complex died a terrible death, and I really wanted to take a shower. That's the story. This fell out of my head while I was waiting :o) Sorta jazzy, sorta impressionistic.. I don't know. Just a free-form.. thing.

I found this little Latin echo a while back and toyed with the idea of setting it to music in various ways before finally figuring that perhaps this could be a chance to play with a unique staging. While I haven't come up with anything in particular, it may be a fun piece to do "in the round", though, with a larger auditorium, a well lit conductor will be fairly helpful. The text: Amore, more, ore,re: probatur amicitiae Love, behavior, words, deeds: these prove friendship What with the text being based on echos, the music is, in general, more structured around the lyrics than anything else.
