December 19, 200916 yr a slow piece for a small string ensemble, piano, drums, english horn and bass clarinet Winter
December 20, 200916 yr Interesting instrumentation. It is very tranquil in the beginning, yet mysterious. I like it I love how the jazzy feel is very slowly introduced into the piece. The drum set has an interesting lag feel to it, contrasts well with the piano and strings' rhythm. I like it, good job
December 24, 200916 yr Author I wanted to see what would happen if I combined the colors of jazz chords with the progressions of the more classical approach, and the piano solo in the beginning just sort of flowed out of me, I don't really know haha
December 25, 200916 yr Reckoner, First off, welcome to the forum! I hope you stick around and put in the time to comment on the music of other people... :whistling: ............. I like your piece - it's got a very nice texture and feel to it. That mysterious ethereal approach is a modern (European) jazz-type style, closely associated with the ECM record label... You'll find a lot of cats on there that are using unorthodox ensembles/instrumentation and a more classical framework for jazz -oriented musics. Nice work ... Yours in particular could use a lot more development and direction, but the basic elements of some solid music are there for sure.
December 27, 200916 yr Excellent, interesting choice of instrumentation. This would be be even better for me if the drums were taken out.
