  1. This piece represents the night and its atmosphere of unknowing and worry.
  2. A short piece I put together for viola and piano. I started with the theme I had at the begging and then developed it as I had ideas on what would be fun/interesting. I do like some of the ideas and may expand upon it, but I do like it as it is, a short showpiece of sorts with lots of variation in dynamic and tempo. Please excuse the failure's of my program's audio rendering regarding certain things. I am still very inexperienced at composing for the piano though, so advice especially in regards to that is much appreciated. Sonatina_for_Viola_and_Piano.pdf Sonata_for_Viola_and_Piano.mp3
  3. Before presenting my submission to the Contest I post here a little piece that shares the dedication to Rossini with the Variations. Here I don't quote any theme, and I refer mostly to the Rossini author of keyboard music.
  4. In celebration of the Fall Competition (which I have no entry for), I have decided to post this old piece. It was originally intended as the third movement of a piano sonata, but I didn't feel like it was good enough to include, so I got rid of it. I consider it a failed attempt at a set of variations on an original theme. There was originally meant to be 7 variations, five based on baroque dances, a fugue, and a chorale. Only the theme, three dances, and the chorale were ever completed. I stopped writing after that because I lost interest in the theme I was working with, and wasn't really satisfied with what I had done so far. I'd like to think that I learned something through working on it, even though I don't really like the end result.
  5. Hi, Here is my new composition for a movie soundtrack. Thanks for your comments! Best regards, Max Casey
  6. Hi everyone! Here's my piece for flute, violin, cello, and piano, called "Mystic Lands". It's a rondo, but when the A section returns, the instrumentation, harmony, and accompaniment are changed. I also wrote it for a class, so I had to use different harmonic techniques for each section: -For the opening section, I used static harmony/pedal tones. -Letter A uses polychords with major and minor triads. -Letter B uses added note chords. -Letter C uses polychords consisting of seventh chords, quartal structures, quintal structures, and clusters. -Letter D uses compound chords (meaning various intervals are combined to create a non-tertian voicing). Hope you all enjoy!
  7. Hello, This is my new piano music, It's very short, but this was my intention. I'm really interested in your opinion.
  8. Hi This is a short piano piece that I wrote a few months ago. MP3 file coming as soon as I can find a spare CD to convert the wav file into an MP3! Sorry about my old technology.
  9. 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!
  10. I've been studying violin instrumentation for a bit, and the last resource I looked at was a video by Thomas Goss on unaccompanied violin scoring. At the end of this lecture video, he asks the viewer to compose a 2-3 minute piece focused on lyricism and craft. This is what I came up with: my first attempt at violin scoring. The playback on my notation software is pretty crappy quality, so just to be clear, I mean the quadruple stops to be two successive double stops, favoring the top two notes. And the accelerando does not really stop at m. 39, that is just another inconsistency with my notation software. :/
  11. This was my final composition project for last year! The 7(/4) time signature was chosen from the beginning; being the number of days in the week it is meant to symbolise the repetitiveness of life during boring times, when every day feels the same: we feel trapped in the same dream -- everyday. No sadness, no happiness. Just a dream. We feel trapped, we try to escape, we get increasingly desperate... But in the end we all fall back down into our prison. The audio was recorded live -- I am the pianist; the performance was ill-rehearsed (we had very little time) and the higher-quality camera/micro ran out of storage mid recording so I had to upload the low-quality one :P Anyway, please don't get mad at anything different from the score or any mistakes or fumblings (there are many ). Any feedback welcome!! PS: the slurs were meant as phrase markings, not bow slurs.

  12. Sketch No. 107.mp3 (The player seems to be malfunctioning for the post) Hi. I just thought this would be fun to post. Had to compose and perform graphic scores a while back and this is the sight-reading attempt people had on mine. It was performed by baritone saxophone, violin, piano, and tenor voice, but not written for them.
  13. These are my Three Sententiae for Piano Op. 284. Here is the link to my previous set of three sententiae for piano: http://www.youngcomposers.com/archive/music/listen/8050/three-sententiae-for-piano-op-262/
  14. This is a simple little piece in really no particular style or form. Happy to have any comments. Nocturne No 3 midi.mid
  15. This is another exploration into scales, as part of the Mediterranean Suite. Lucentum is the Roman name of my city, and means Light or Star... This city is very old. It seems to be founded by the Iberos (¿Iberians?). It was a Phoenician and a Greek colony (named Akra Leuka = White Coast). Afterwards a Roman city (Lucentum), and in 8th century the Arabs entered and stayed for 800 years, they gave the actual name: Alicante (from the Arab names: Ali and Cantara, who were a couple in love that ended in tragedy, of course). Well, this piece is a sort of nocturno with a tonal part in the beginning and in the ending. In the middle there is a development using a Lydian - Harmonic scale: first tetrachord is lydian, second one is harmonic. The generated chords make the mode moderately unstable (the tonic is stable Cmaj7 and there is a good cadential chord Bmin). In this part, what seem chromaticisms are, in fact, diatonic notes to the scale.
  16. Hi, this was the first silent movie I scored for. I like this old movies. I saw a version of this film with an ugly music. Well, the music was wonderful but... what the hell the music of Carmen (Bizet) with this trip to the moon? Of course there was no synchronization at all, and you could listen to Toreador while the people is fighting against the aliens... So, I was determined to try and write something. I hadn't done anything for several instruments before this, and it was all very intuitive. But I think it has good moments, mostly because of the synchro. I share it just for fun (13 minutes long). It is scored for wind sextet and piano. There ara tonal, atonal and modal parts... I have the scores, but I think, in this case, are not very relevant: My Trip to the Moon
  17. Here is another part of the Mediterranean Suite, this time using hungarian minor and hungarian major scales.
  18. Disclaimer: This is NOT my entry for the fall competition. I wrote this piece during my student days as an exercise. I was inspired by the Downton Abbey soundtrack and instrumentation, which consisted of piano and strings. I came up with an original theme and wrote 3 variations on it. I would appreciate any feedback and comments. Happy listening! PS: The audio is a little meh....but you'll get the general idea.
  19. This is, in my opinion, the most beautiful piece of music I have ever written. Enjoy^^
  20. I thought I should release an example of my work for the competition just for fun. This is one of the few works I thought I was really proud of when I finished. I recently got it copyrighted, and can put it here without much worry. Looking back on it, there are a few issues, but I still rather like it. I hope you all do too!
  21. Hi.... Back to tonality. These are 4 short and simple pieces part of a cycle about different moments of a day. Two of them use hybrid chords, a sonority I love; the other are in minor mode.
  22. This is my 29th soliloquy for violin. Here is the link to my previous violin soliloquy: http://www.youngcomposers.com/t34051/soliloquy-for-violin-no-28/
  23. These piano tracks are meant to add atmosphere to my Silent Hills game project. These are meant to be listened to with half volume as they are for background music. Inspired by Akira Yamaoka's music
