October 29, 200817 yr This i a work i wrote for a competition (didn't win :sadtears:), and is scored for classical guitar (amplified most likely), crotales (or glockenspiel), violin and cello. It is very Glass-influenced; after studying minimalism at school, this kind of arpeggio-based stuff started flowing. It is based on a chord progression; Em - Bm6 - Cmaj7 - Asus2, and revolves around the key rhythmic motif of the triplet and variations on it. The title refers to my inspiration for the piece; I wanted to create a work that was sparse and cold, harmonically and timbrally. I am quite enamoured of this work, and because i plan to use it as part of my folio for my Uni audition, i would really appreciate feedback! (N.B. ignore the wierd guitar slides; stupid finale gliss thing.) Thanks in advance! :D MP3 @ Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire Frost.pdf
October 29, 200817 yr It is beautiful sounding. The most distinct variation would be Section G. Do you intend to have all your variations fairly homogenous? The listener would find the change in G interesting because of the simplfication of details. The listener would hope to hear more, but the piece moved on to something else. I would like to have bars 60 - 67 repeated or add a few bars more similar style to prolong the interest? A major overhaul would be to reorganise everything from simple to complex and create a climax ending at the end or perhaps, alternate simple with complex to create contrast. Enjoyed every moment of the piece. Good luck for your Uni Audition.

October 30, 200817 yr Author cupnoodle:thanks so much! The variations/sections sort of moved organically to each new one, so that's why they are in that order Mr Cosio: I would, but it sounds so bad that i would die. yep.
