Tell me what you think

Its my first attempt at a full band piece. can you tell me what you think and how to make it sound better

NeoMetalWorks.sib

Any chance we can get a .pdf score, or a midi...

y'know, for us non-Sibelius users.

;)

Welcome to YC.

A MP3 will go a long way in helping people to listen to your music.

Sib makes it easy to produce MP3's and then you can post links to your music on sites like Boxnet (free).

It also helps if you comment in other posts here. Some will return the favor.

I like the opening theme, (:

this is a great piece, but you could go so much farther with that.

This is a great piece, I think! It's kind of stern and logical, (the notes seem to have a "logical" development--climbing scales--as opposed to a more spontaneous, "risky" approach) and yet it never seems dull or uninspired, as though you've heard the piece before you've actually heard it (don't you hate that feeling?) ^_^ Very unique!

Thanks and yes i hate that feeling im actually making this because one of my band directors said i couldn't do it with doing things from other songs.

I also love behind the mask.

Is this piece meant to be short?

There no indication of dynamics in the score. Same problem with Handel's Messiah. (Should we begin loud or soft?)

Please watch out for flutes in low register (Bar 1 - 4). They will be easily covered.

Bar 15: Watch out for the notes played by Trombones. Maybe too fast for them to be played, may have to check their positions. Otherwise possible, the notes may not be cleanly executed.

Last Bar: Bass Trombone playing a note higher than the Trombone 1,2? Reason? Does it make it sound different? Do you need your Tuba to play such a high note? Rational?

Since, I assume that you have just started a piece, perhaps you could try sketching out the rest of the music, how you intend the piece to be, then aim to create variety in your orchestration. It is still too early to see your potential based on these few bars.

Happy composing.

Omg, thank you! :O
