A Tribute to Sporks

Hello I'm back on the forum after about a year's break, taken because of my final year of school. My exams are now over and I hope to get back into being creative. I wrote this piece earlier in the year, however, for a school ensemble (which I'm very sad to be leaving). The saxophonist said it reminded him of sporks so the name stuck.

I like some parts of the piece and dislike other parts of the piece but I'd love to hear your comments. I didn't have a choice about instrumentation.

For some reason the MIDI file I exported makes most instruments stringed, which I can't seem to fix. Here's a YouTube link of us performing it with me conducting:

Let me know of your thoughts, please :)

Nice to see some Aussies around :P hehe

This was a really catchy piece (odd choice of name though hehe) I play the clarinet, and this sounds like a really fun piece, and watching your video it looked like it was enjoyable to play.

All I can really say is keep it up, you've got a lot of talent!!

I enjoyed this music very much, it is very original! Yes, you're very talanted, keep up!

This piece is great! I love all the meter changes - you have written amazingly well for these compound meters - a way that is hard to do right!

Your orchestration is very good as well, you seem to know what you are doing!

There's not much else I can say - I really enjoyed this fun little piece!

Haha this is a really cool piece!

I love all the dissonance, the more the better!

It must have been a blast to be able to conduct and hear this being played by real musicians.

Way to go!
