November Competition

A name doesn't mean anything now.

Okay. I'm gonna call you "Chuckles" from now on. It shouldn't mean anything...

I've been wathing the competition threads and I wanted to enter but looks like always is a very reduced stuff, Jose was only for a single voice, now 6 players only, next time try to set a little wider options.

Well, I only do it because I can't judge large ensemble pieces; also, I don't expect a piece of that scope finished within a month.

I'm entering. I think I can get something in before the deadline.

How about voice?not technically an "instrument"...but chamber music nonetheless. could I write my entry for SATB perhaps?? :)

Errr...I'd rather you didn't, but if you've already started then go ahead. :]

Ok here's my submission. Didn't write it for this competition in mind but since the theme was winter I thought I could participate.

The title is in swedish and means A Girl In The Snow.

Oh, the mp3 is 2:56 long, but I expect it to take 3 minutes if a person played this.

Edit: Err why did the mp3 and pdf attachments disappear? :S

Oh well I'll upload it from box:

OK,,, here's my entry! its a short piece for string quartet. When you said "winter",,, I thought "religion", and that was the inspiration behind this particular piece. Composed in the spirit of Ockeghem, Morales and Byrd. Please excuse sibelius' MIDI sounds,,, they really are terrible! Enjoy!

Count me out... I've been having computer problems...

I tried to pull up a Wintery mood, and this is what I came up with.

Bravo on that sinfonia Bachian...it is excellent indeed! Conjured up images of Santas workshop for me! XD

This may not sound very wintery(neither the piece nor the description), but what I eventually came up with whilst thinking of winter was this. "The quest for inner peace in an artists mind, as he looks upon the superficial mind of the masses".

It is entitled "Quälerei", which is german, meaning "torment".

Sorry, double post, my bad.

Here's my entry; Winter Fantasy. It's scored for 6 woodwinds; piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, and bassoon. This is the largest ensemble I've ever written for. It's a light and cheery take on winter, depicting snow falling from the sky and swirling in the wind. It then shifts to a more peaceful scene, perhaps a winter landscape under the moonlight. Then, the music once again becomes bright and cheery, perhaps showing the same scene in the daylight, depicting the joy winter brings.

Some parts of this may sound a little rushed (they do to me, at least). I'll admit, it's definitely not as polished as I would have liked, but the end of the month sort of snuck up on me. :P

Sorry for the unrealistic MP3 rendering; it was the best I could do.

Thanks for your submissions! To everyone else: submissions are due. :] Please post by the weekend and you can expect results within a week, if all goes as planned.

Busy month, started this a while back and never got the chance to do altering. Now it's the due date...Oh well, I submit it anyways...

Alright, Scores and a winner are coming soon. I didn't bother and try logging into this awful site this weekend when Chopin was uglyfying it. Soon, soon, soon.

H'm... Hoping to see the results soon.

I'm almost done reviewing everything. Expect the results soon. Like I said before, the YC remodeling slowed stuff down for me.

Have these results been posted yet??

What is happening with the competition results? Will they never be posted??

H'm... Any idea when we may see the results?

Honestly, I actually dont care anymore about this. Its been 3 months and no results. Way to run a competition.. I remember listening a while back to a baroque simfonia... I say that wins! :D

Since the original judging has not been completed, jawoodruff and myself have taken over since we are both chamber music reviewers. I will post results in a separate thread today.
