A Piece for Orchestra.

Currently it is unnamed and normally msot of mine stay that way for a while until I decide to name it. Funny thing is I can't think of a name for this one.

Anyway, this is the first piece I've posted on here. In fact, it's one my favourite ones of mine.

I was inspired to write this piece because, well at the start of the piece I was thinking about my girlfriend but then it just sort of evolved from there. I didn't really experience a block while writing it. Well at one stage it was 10 o'clock at night so I decided to continue in the morning. Then it was finished but I kept making minor adjustments until I was happy.

But anyway, feedback is very welcomed. I want a fair bit of it. Please bear in mind, the MIDI file is really bad sounding. If you have Kontakt Player with Sibelius it will sound 100 time better.

I am guessing that your intention with this piece was to simply create a certain happy/melancholy mood and in that regard I think you're successful! I was just going to tell you that it should be more melodic and then you come to the part at 3:50 and a nice new melody comes in (this is such a nice section I wish you had kept it going longer!). However, the recap to the beginning (4:20ish) was kind of abrupt - it felt like you just copied and pasted. The flute melody at the beginning is to me, not distinct or catchy enough. After repeated listening (2nd time that I am listening now) it becomes more recognizable - but it wasn't so at first. You achieve a very nice chorale type hymn scoring and you use the instrument colors pretty effectively. The ending seemed kind of abrupt and unprepared. I see you tried to compensate for that by doing a decelerando but it didn't quite work to me :mellow:.

Overall - an enjoyable listen! Thanks for posting!

Yer the ending was kind of hard for me to think of.

I knew I wanted the bassoon to either play the solo melody from the start or the inverted one of the oboe at C or D but in the end I chose the one from the start and decided it might be nice to re-include some of the counter-melodies and accompanying lines that were in the original theme.

I suppose I could extend the middle section if and cut out the second playing of the melody in the oboe with horn and violin one. It might work yet. Haha. I will have another fiddle around with it. Thanks for your feedback though.

It's appreciated.

i think it is a very good msuic

the harmonic flow is quite clear ,, and the mainpart seem quite sharp ,, and overall i like it very much
