This piece uses GPO 4 and the guitar is from JABB. The piece was composed in Sonar 8 PE so the score is not pretty, but here it is

Ron,

Wow,

a definite feeling of space, grandeur, and suspension. Very evocative writing. Extremely visual in a sense. Also, beautiful lines; not necessarily only melodies, but flowing waves of tonality - awesome.

Nice, love that guitar. Great idea Ron!

Great use of solo and group voices; especially the cello lines.

You seem a bit more tonal; triadic maybe?, ...in a way then other works. An unmistakable "Ron-ian" work with chromatic gestures, but also still new and different.

Great job Ron!

Me tonal????

Yeah from time to time I do play around in that medium and yes this one is full of triads.

That guitar is from JABB. That was my first library outside of Sibelius and helped to begin my journey. Now I wonder where it came from??? Thanks again.

Sherief

Ditto

Thanks again guys

Ron

I like "Triad Ron."

Which, personally, I can't get enough of triads and layers in my music.

I enjoyed listening to this. The guitar was a nice touch too.

Ron-

You have very nice ideas, I like them a lot. But it never goes anywhere... it's the same throughout, and that can loose your attention.

I just started a new one tonight that is full of triads. Only none of them are tonal. :toothygrin:

Don't know if it will go anywhere, but it is a nice change of pace.

This piece doesn't go anywhere by design. :thumbsup: It is a study of a 7 note motif. Granted the motif is played and varied about as far as it could be taken without becoming too boring, but I had fun with it.

Fortunately I compose for my enjoyment and because I like to hear a certain style and this piece is not too long that I lose attention.

Thanks guys

Ron

the Idea of getting nowhere fits with my experience to watch stars. Like a structural repesentation of infinity. Like that.

The harmonies tend to be ostinate, but that will be the result off working with you 7 note theme.

In the score is saw some strange low notes, I guess GPO keyswitches? ;)

All of those weird notes are exactly what you said. Keyswitched instruments are nice in that you don't have to load a lot of articulations, but those notes are a pain to keep entering in. They always seem to want to be on top of another note so they can be a pain.

Thanks

Ron

It's very awesome.

Interesting harmonies and nice dynamic arrangement.

Very cool atmosphere as usual.. Refreshing.
