Wind Trio

Hey guys, I have a competition here.

Write a piece for wind trio, for the following three instrumentalists and their instruments:

1-Horn

2-Clarinet, Bass Clarinet

3- picc, fl, Eb cl, Bb cl, bass cl, oboe, eng horn, bssn

The players who double may switch during the piece, but there must be sufficient time given to allow this.

The duration may be any, and the winning composition will receive a free recording for the composer's catalog, and all of my respect.

The due date is January 5th. If you are writing and decide you want an extension, just PM me and it should most likely be granted.

It can be any length (really short or really long even) or any style (post-modern or radically classical). IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A PIECE, go ahead and just whip it out, no reason to write something really fast. However, all are still free to compose something just for this.

Thanks all for joining! I look forward to the entries!

Ooh, I'll join in on this! Do you want anything in terms of movements, etc.?

The instrumentalist with the longest list, which instrument are they strongest/most comfortable with? and what are the levels of these three people? Can they all play exceedingly difficult music? Or upper high-school level? Or only mid-high school level?

Alto flute available? Just asking out of curiosity. Always looking for a place to use it. Alto clarinet, by change? Probably not, I'm just taking a shot in the dark.

I think in one week nobody is able to compose a perfect piece. Do you need it immediately? I would write something if the deadline was maybe February 1th. :/

yeah the deadline is soon. YES YOU CAN HAVE ALTO FLUTE i cant believe i forgot. you can.

movements dont matter.

I guess i didnt realize the 5th is in a week... but if you really want to do it, go for it. I won't let the deadline cut you off.

The performers are all strong college players. The instrumentalist with the many instruments is in the Wind Symphony on Oboe at UNT, but is great at all of them.

Again, I don't need it immediately, I am just impatient. lol.

Alto clarinet, no. no no no. ;-)

EDIT: my schedule is too heavy.

So's mine, Mori, but this is a great opportunity, I think.

i know, Enigmus... but my piece wouldn't stand a chance against yours anyway.

You don't know that... last two or three competitions I got fed up and decided to not finish my pieces. I've been really compositionally "down" lately. Speaking of 'down', you can't put yourself down just because somebody you think is better than you is doing it... I don't think I'm any better than you. I'm not really supposed to be, this is art, not the Olympics. Whose piece the judge(s) like best wins, not necessarily the one that's a textbook example of good. So if you have the time, why not give it a try? You'll learn something out of it no matter how it ends up - guaranteed.

How would you like it submitted?

finale 2006 or less, or pdf. sound realization not required, but is nice anyway. :)

Ah ok... I've got 2009. So, I will submit PDF with MP3.

Mike -

I'd be interested but I need MUCH more time. Feb 15th or even a little later would be good. I'll be able to confirm later ... maybe i can take this baroque style fugue I am doing and modify for wind trio.

I am finished. However, if you are extending the deadline, I would love to have more editing time.

I want to enter too! I will post something soon! Give me a week too!

PS :-)

sure guys, have a bit more time. composerorganist, go for it.

If the deadline has been extended to Feb I might give this a try too, if thats ok? I've not written for Wind Trio before so it shall be an interesting challenge

I'll try this as well, if that is okay, but I do have a question.. on which i'm a bit confused

in your original post, do you mean that '1' in the trio has to be a horn, '2' can be any of those and '3' can be any of those, or you can a choice between writing a trio for any of the instruments in '1' '2' or '3'?

I would assume it would be the first, but I just want to be clear :)

1 can only play horn, 2 can only play those clarinets, and 3 can play all that was listed.

she is a very talented person. :D

ah okayy :) i will start now then :D

Ok how are people on the pieces? submissions?

oh I just read this thing and I would be really happy to participate, good that I have some wind trios, I could rework to arrange them for those instruments :)

Hope I can still make it...

no submissions yet... go ahead i guess

I haven't been on this site for months, so just read this post! Can I take part in this? I sounds like an interesting challenge!

Deadline is much now past, does anyone have any submissions?
