I have a piece almost ready, but as I doubt it'll be finished on time, I'm leaning towards bowing out (since I have other two deadlines approaching) :unsure: ...

Alright, let me take the dropout's place: http://www.youngcomposers.com/music/4898/campaign-speech-for-tuba-and-teleprompter/

Ok folks, here is my submission: Luminus for string bass.

A few words to the judges: I've made a few changes between having written out and scanned the final copy of the score (or part, rather), and having recorded the actual piece. Those worth mentioning are the following:

Dynamics in the opening, especially right before the section marked 'fluidly.'

Bowings toward the ending of the section marked fluidly: Ascending scales are now slurred in one bow (in the score, they're still broken)

The sforzando "bass notes" at the section marked 'stridently' are every so slightly different. The descending line that they form is now more chromatic. This change is subtle and hardly noticeable. 

That's about all I can think of. The piece itself could be best described as a prelude. The title refers to the important role played by overtones in the overall sound of this piece and its development. Or of all music for string instruments? Or of all music itself, even? I've found the harmonic series to be analogous to the individual colors within a ray of light.

Here's my submission, "Morning Song of Hermit Thrush", thanks in advance to all the judges :) http://www.youngcomposers.com/music/4910/morning-song-of-a-hermit-thrush/

What luck! An hour and fifteen minutes after Austenite drops out, and someone else submits a piece! From the same IP address, no less!
