Dystopian Dream (Brave New World prelude, Opus 18)
Guest posted a topic in Orchestral and Large Ensemble
A small prelude written for my English class - background music for a model based on the setting from A. Huxley's "Brave New World". In this composition, I tried to reproduce the cheap and ignorant, grotesque cheerfulness of Huxley's bizarre world of artificiality. Also, I thought that the concept of all-seeing eye would fit the dystopian nightmare. The pillar of this prelude is my loose improvisation in A major - one of the most happy and cheery keys, in my opinion. Thank you for listening! -
I thought you guys might be interested in my new series! I'm creating 2-3 minute videos about writing for every member of the woodwind family. I also am more than happy to answer any questions that are posted on the video. If you're interested, here's the playlist:

Here I propose a tiny poutpourri on two of the most famous nursery rhymes: respectively Ring a Ring o'Roses (the Italian Giro Giro Tondo) and the evergreen Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (Ah! Vous-je dirai, Maman). The structure is very simple: a slow, two-bar curtain leading to Ring a Ring and a variation, the reappearance of the curtain, a little longer with piangevole fluttertongues, the exposition of Twinkle Twinkle varied two times and the happy coda, in crescendo and stringendo, again on Ring Ring. Happy listening!

This is my 17th soliloquy for clarinet (in Bb). As with the 16th, I have provided the transposing score. Here is the link to my 16th clarinet soliloquy: http://www.youngcomposers.com/archive/music/listen/8305/soliloquy-for-clarinet-no-16/

When I'm composing for full orchestra, I often find that I have trouble writing parts for the Woodwind section. These are some of my favorite instruments as far as their sound goes, but I just can't seem to write very "elaborate" or "high quality" sounding parts for them. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated. Thanks!

So this isn't exactly a composition question but this seemed like the best place to put this on here. I just got back from an audition and I plan to challenge as soon as I can. The incumbent, my directors and I all have to choose some cuts for us to audition on and I was considering picking something I was already familiar with from Cyrille Rose's 40 Etudes for Clarinet so I can focus on the other 2 cuts. I'm trying to decide between no. 32 and no. 35...which do you think would be more fitting and/or challenging for someone who hasn't played them before? If it factors in at all, I'm more familiar with no. 32. Here's a link to a pdf of all the etudes...it's the quickest (and only) thing I could find. Thanks for your time! :) http://petrucci.mus.auth.gr/imglnks/usimg/b/bf/IMSLP29006-PMLP64394-40_Studies.pdf
