Song #5, in F# Minor: "Princess of Darkness"

Before you move this to the Vocal/Choral section, let me explain the reasons I put it here:

1- The lyrics are in portuguese, so not many will understand.

2- The clarinet is replacing the awful mezzo-soprano syntethyzer.

If these are not enough reasons, feel free to move it to the Vocal/Choral section. ^^

---------------------------

This is the fifth and latest song from a song cycle I'm composing.

The original lyrics are a poem from a friend of mine, I made some light modifications so it would fit best:

-----------------------------------

Princesa da escurid

Oooh, pretty! I liked all of it!

This is very good writing, for the most part. Sadly, most of the harp part is impossible and some of it is

Lol, I might change that note.xD

About the harp part, can you tell me which measures are impossible and explain me why? It'd help me a lot.

Thanks in advance.

A delightful little melody. I enjoyed the opening myself, but opinions always differ.

Another opinion...

Aren't all women a "Princess of Darkness?"

I think they all serve the dark lord and are set here on earth to torture us.

So I thank the 'dark lord' and hope he goes to hell forever.

Uhm...

The Princess of Darkness is the moon. :mellow:

Sorry

I just went off on a tangent.

Uhm...

The Princess of Darkness is the moon. :angry:

She is one fat scallop.

Do not insult the mother of the nightskies!! :closedeyes:

very fine composition! loved! the atmosphere is quite fit for such a nocturnal event.

Quite a moody piece, I think you got your idea across quite well, only thing I would have liked to see would've been a little bit more variety in the timbre of the instruments used (playing in a higher register playing in a lower register than normal etc..) But other than that I love it!

Great Job! :D

She is one fat scallop.

:P I think I almost died of laughter.

And I don't think the harp part is impossible.

Yes, the chromatic bit is impossible. There's lots of other sketchy harp stuff in here as well, but I forget where exactly. You should really check out this thread: http://www.youngcomposers.com/forum/understanding-harp-4393.html and if you're really interested, this one too: http://www.youngcomposers.com/forum/coposing-harp-ochestral-music-470.html They explain about how the harp works, why random things are impossible and why random things are ridiculously easy. I'm not so good at explaining stuff, and there was a lot there that I had no idea about anyway. Writing for harp is a little annoying at times. Good luck!

Also, is there any way you could make a midi?

She is one fat scallop.

that is one bad donkey comment :toothygrin:

I rather like it. The harp is as said above a bit iffy but aside of that, lovely! Any chance of a sib or mus?
