Hi everyone,

Sorry I started this competition late, but here goes.

For November, the entrant will write a short piece for chamber ensemble (1-6 players) about WINTER. Vague, but should conjure up some good images.

Requirements:

Any style

1-6 players

More than 3, less than 10 minutes long,

Deadline is December 1st.

Submit with .PDF and audio file.

I will judge, and will need two additional judges as well. Scores will be out of 100, and points will be given/taken as the judges so please.

ENTRANTS:

- Bachian [x]

- Gamma [...]

- josepablofm [...]

- beautifulnoise [...]

- sabiansoldier [x]

- mahler [x]

- IceWind91 [x]

(x = submitted, ... = waiting on submissions)

Good luck! :]

JUDGES:

I'll judge with you Thomas. If you're involved with this then things should be smart.

Alright, Corbin. You're a judge. :]

Sign me up. I'll see what I can come up with. What instruments are considered chamber? Isn't that pretty much anything?

Sign me up please :)

i'm in! :-D

Consider yourselves in.:)

@Bachian: Any instruments are fair game. As long as you know what you're doing with them of course. :]

I will compose.

You said 1-6 players, if you had 1, wouldn't it mean a solo rather than an ensemble? Or can we do a solo thing as well? If so I'd like to do a solo instead.

@Gamma: yes, solos are allowed. :]

i'd like to join. =)

sign me up please :)

I will join the competition.

You guys are in. :]

I'll judge! :D

I will not judge if Tokke does.

Can we do a three movement concerto if it doesn't go over 10 minutes as a whole, or must it be one single movement/piece?

lol why?

I suppose you can do more than one movement...but, if it's a concerto I'm going to have to say no. (Chamber instrumentation only, please. :))

Concertos can be with a chamber ensemble.

Huh? Violin, Violin, Viola, Cello, and Harpsichord is not Chamber? H'm...

That works fine. But a concerto would be for soloist and orchestra...if violin, violin, viola, cello, harpsichord is what you intended, it's fine. :D

concerto is not JUST soloist and orchestra, much more tiny soloist against SUPER HUGE orchestra, and throughout ages the concerto idea has changed several times... so it all depends on what you refer to as a concerto :)

A name doesn't mean anything now.

Call something whatever you want as long as it is within context of an idea or w/e... Even then.. not really.

Just follow the number of instruments. That is all.

Count me in.
