This is just a simple melody accompanied by piano. As always I look forward to critique. 5.MUS

I am in the same position as you and am new to composing. For someone at my level, it seems pretty good. I'm excited to listen to more pieces of yours and see how you improve!

Actually I did imagine it as a video game piece. And I agree with your statement about the chord progression flow. I felt very iffy about it especially at the end when I was trying to resolve the piece within the 21 measures. The first few chords I had written down a few months ago and I came back to it to see if I could make something out of it. Though it may be my first piece, and even though I'm not a piano player, I often try out different chords on the piano so that I can get an idea of what they sound like, which I think helped alot in writing this. Even though I know a good deal about part writing, I have to admit I kind of ignored what I know in writing this and I pretty much wrote whatever just came to mind. It was fun! Thanks for the comments. This is a beautiful art that I am excited to get into.

This is my first attempt at composing a piece. I used a finale workbook program that came with my music theory book. Unfortunately I found that I could not figure out how to add any measures so I realized at about the 17th measure that I would be stuck with 21 measures. I also cannot figure out how to upload a score, so I don't have a link for it. I have a long way to go as far as the world of composing is concerned, so I would appreciate just about any comments that anybody is willing to offer. Composition 38 92 - Putfile.com

I agree... it does remind me of age of empires. I could definitely see it as part of an adventure game.
