Composition based on the life of Ralph from the Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Darkness Within: Tribute to Lord of the Flies

Composition for Orchestra. Second draft. Posted an earlier one, and hopefully improved it. Help me find a good title for it, please. A song with no name, is like a book with no cover. Untitled

Simple beautiful beginning. I'd love to hear this with real instruments. Try adding something else, there is some melody in the piano, but maybe adding another instrument will grab attention for a little longer. Very nice, I would like to hear this longer because it is so dark, I love dark. Great piece.

Lovely entrance. Love the long tones in the strings. The melodies and countermelodies are fantastic. The blending of the different timbres are fantastic. Though the string part gets too low at one point and not enough on top for what you were doing for the rest of the piece. At the build up where the snare comes in, try adding a little variety to the snare. After building it up, give the listener more. I feel like you fell off too soon. I know it sounds like I am saying a lot of negatives, but it has very wonderful textures, melodies, harmonies, chords, countermelodies, and timbres. Very well done, wonderful piece!

What I tried to do in this piece was not only to capture the simplicity of the artwork, but also draw a parallel to the artist's life. At the time he created Sunset, 1892 he was dying and I wanted to capture the essence of George Inness as he was when he was painting it. But thank you for commenting on my music, and I would love to hear about my future music.
