YCC Submission - By Moonlight

A few of you may have heard this before, but I've changed...pretty much half of it completely.

This actually a HUUUUUGE revamp of an older, unfinished piece that I submitted to the Young Composers Challenge competition yesterday. (I couldn't find my old topic so I started a new one) It's a bit lacking because I was gone for most of the summer and didn't have a chance to work on it very much. Nevertheless, I tried my best.

I don't expect to win or anything, (My goodness, have you heard the past winners?! They're fantastic! http://youngcomposerschallenge.com/winners.php ) but I promised my best friend I would enter.

The piece is actually the first half of the entire song, but because of the time limit for the song, I had to cut it off at the halfway point.

Well enough of my rambling, here's the piece EXACTLY as I submitted it yesterday. The entry rules said to use MIDI, so I didn't use the nice garritan sounds I usually go with, and as a result, it sounds unbalanced at times. :/

Even though it's too late to change anything for the contest, I would still appreciate constructive (harsh, even) criticism so I can get better at this.

Enjoy

Malexos, this is not bad, I like it, but I would say is too short for a competition (well I don't know) but I would expect somehing larger so one may have time to develop ideas, this one ended just when the "good" part was begining...

A few details in your score:

the looking aspect, use the same bracket for all the string section staves. Strings staves in this order Vlns I, Vlns II, Vlas, VC, C.B. Put percussions above strings. Indications of percussion instruments (when cymbals when others)
