April 11, 201114 yr A chamber piece written for some of the musicians at my school. I had wanted to introduce them to new music without going the "Schoenberg" route my teachers both insist on using and then complain about when students become resistant to anything written after 1910.Orchestration: Trombone, Viola, Marimba, Timpani, and Piano Gibberish
April 11, 201114 yr Author The movements weren't written consecutively, but the whole thing took about a month.
April 11, 201114 yr Very nice! I liked the concept, introducing stuff like modality and more pungent dissonance into the music without it not being somewhat grounded to what students would usually be exposed to. Did this go down well with said students?
April 12, 201114 yr Author I don't know yet. The composers (including myself) will be performing this in two weeks for the student body
April 14, 201114 yr Very fun little work here! I enjoyed each movement, with only 1 criticism at all: 5th movement: something besides C, Db for viola.... maybe. It might work :P Sometimes, it does sound gibberish-ey in the music. If that was your intention, it worked perfectly :P Great work here! I wish I could find that like button... 'cause I do like it! Thanks for posting! Heckel
