Well in my opinion, the goal of a composition is expression, whether it be emotions or abstract ideas being expressed. Or sometimes the composer might just want to realize a certain sound he/she likes. As for language vs. music, I think that language is much more "applied", in the sense that it is used more as a tool for communication than a medium for self-expression. Languages can be diverse though, C++, python, Java, etc. can also be considered languages, but overall it seems like language in general has more rules and axioms than music (sentence structure, grammar, syntax, what have you) and is somewhat more limited than music. So I'd say that there are certain things music expresses that language can't, or at least can't express as effectively (eg. background music in horror movies project fear more effectively than a narrator describing the scene).

Wow! You write very well for the piano! Each variation was in very different character from the others. One minor suggestion though, the modulation between mm. 100-101 is kind of abrupt. Overall it was a very nice work!

This is my most ambitious work so far. I tried to compose this in sonata-form but along the way it kind of drifted into some kind of free-form. I was inspired by Scriabin's Fantasy in B Minor Op. 28, although I think one of my themes sounds a bit like pop music as well. Anyway, any criticism is welcome and enjoy the work!Ballade "Struggle" Ballade Ballade

Yeah, the "flute" is actually how MIDI plays the human voice, quite interesting. I agree with you about the monotonous nature of the song, maybe I'll make the first theme a little quieter and less busy on the piano. By the way, do you know how people make a play bar on their composition page instead of just having a link that says "play music"?

Hi everybody, this is my first post on YoungComposers!This was a fun piece I composed for piano and voice. I couldn't come up with any lyrics though, just the basic idea of the uplifting feeling of a sunrise. Starts in A major, ends in E major, basic ABA form. In my opinion, this song is quite jolly. =) Enjoy! Sunrise
