June 20, 201015 yr Once again more changes have been made and noted for the future work i put into this piece. I've added a slower moving phrase to represent a calm in the storm. Once again, I am not quite finished as i want to add one last raging storm phrase before i declare that the piece is finished. As always any more feedback you have is greatly appreciated! Raging Storm
June 21, 201015 yr I like your melodies but the way you use the percussion just doesn't seem right and just as the above comment it is impossible for the timpanist to play so many notes usually at the most they play 4 timpani, maybe 5. You need more brass if you're going to portray a storm, these would be good to give the majestic feeling of thunder. Also the snare could have been put in a better spot or have been accompanied by another instrument, maybe the brass.
June 21, 201015 yr Author if i were capable of adding more instruments i certainly would. For now, i can only write for up to 8, and 7 were used for this. I was unaware that timapni could not play so many quarter notes at once. I apologize if that part didn't make sense, this is my first time writing for something other than strings exclusively.
June 21, 201015 yr Author and thank you for the compliment john but i wouldn't call myself an artist turned musician yet. this is the first piece i wrote with an actual purpose. Every other piece i wrote and posted here were spontaneous and unclear as far as a meaning is concerned.
