Salamat, O, Aming Ama

a short prayer in tagalog text

Salamat, O, Aming Ama

for SATB.

this was sung by 5 people (a group of organists).

sorry for the dynamics and other stuff here.

feel free to give any constructive criticism.

james ;)

i'm sorry. i don't know how can i move the thread.

this should be posted at chamber & solo vocal works.

I think it's absolutely beautiful. It doesn't need anything else!

Very nice work. Not sure what criticisms to give this, since its already received a performance. What did the performers say about it?

hmmm.. this isn't the final recording. they just asked me if they can record the piece after they've seen it. i'm thankful that they'd loved this one, and enjoyed the recording. maybe it will be recorded again in october.

it'll be fine if you'll throw any criticism. since i am not a music student and i can tell that i don't play any instrument. but thanks for that jawoodruff. :happy:

thanks vernon ;)

Moved , and High five for self taught awesomeness :D !!

I love those voices...recorded live or sampled, because to be quite frank, I'd be amazed if they're sampled :) Does Salamat have a meaning (like God or something) The harmonisation is bang on the money, and serves for a really soothing feeling...how long have you been composing for??

The only (possible) nitpick I can find is that I'd have liked to hear a little more variety in the texture. Maybe you could really experiment with the pitches, like for example, have the Soprano go a octave higher for a verse, and the Bass switch down a octave. I dunno though, since I've not the foggiest idea of choral scoring :P I'm just going on instinct ATM ...

Keep it going though, this is great stuff!!

Those voices really make it come alive! It's crazy... I've listened to it twice.

thanks vernon. =)

'salamat' means 'thank you.' for 'salamat, o, aming Ama' means 'thank you, oh, our Father.' =)

i started reading music theory two years ago. i don't always right pieces. just when i'm in the mood.

this was actually written for an amateur choir. i bet you're right for that. thanks for listening mr. cheeselord. :phones:
