Composing Short Pieces Using A Theme By Luderart

No, I like your idea. I don't see why we shouldn't do it that way.

When we vote or Luderart chooses, this is my theme: http://www.youngcomposers.com/music/listen/4849/. (Piano Miniature No. 5 in G minor)
I'd be interested to see what people did with it! 

Well since I've only uploaded one good piece aside from the one I wrote for this challenge, I guess it'll have to serve as my theme in the event I am chosen: http://www.youngcomposers.com/music/listen/6505/

I am not sure how fitting it is and I hope the theme has sufficient potential for so many interpretations.

well i suppose since we're now submitting new themes, here's mine http://www.youngcomposers.com/music/listen/6893/a-really-intense-lullaby/

maybe someone can do better with it then i did.

So how are we going to decide between voting on the piece and luderart choosing. Should we take a vote on it? Or maybe luderart could choose one of the methods. And now we have a real question on our hands. How are we going to decide how to decide

Bwahahahaha! The final dilemma.

But all jokes aside, I think we should vote on the method. I'm gonna throw my lot in with the side voting to have the previous theme provider pick the next. That would mean you, Luderart, would get to pick this next one. It would make more sense than him picking the method of deciding the method of picking the theme provider. That's too many syntactic acrobatics for me.

OK then. Seeing as I suggested this challenge, shall I just say: Luderart chooses one of our themes for the next challenge, once everyone has chosen one to be considered and has finished their first piece? :)

Agreed!

Well, I'll put my last composition as my theme for the next round:

By the way, when will we know that there's no one else to post?

Anyone can post their Luderart piece at any time, but why doesn't Luderart just choose from the suggested works by those members who have already uploaded a Luderart piece?

agreed. i'm excited to start the next round

agreed. i'm excited to start the next round

Could I make a suggestion? How about everyone tries a form / style that they haven't written for before?

Perhaps this could be my first fugue...  :horrified:

Wouldn't that lessen the incentive of the composers who have committed to this challenge and not submitted their pieces so far to ever do so?

Perhaps this is a good time to ask those composers - ccolson39 and MuseScience (and danishali903 who has said he might try it) - if they will submit their piece soon, before proceeding to choose one of the themes so far submitted. If so, we can wait an agreed amount of time for them to do so, as well as submit their themes.

Otherwise, I have looked at the four themes already submitted and I already have decided in my mind which of the four I will choose if called upon to do so.

One last conundrum: since all four of you are so eager for the next challenge, have you considered that if I choose your theme, then you would have to sit out the next challenge? So which would be more rewarding for you: having your theme chosen for the challenge, or having a go at the chosen theme of the challenge?

They could still make a song based off of your theme. i've done a few of the challenges here that were from two years ago. if they don't, then maybe they will join in the next challenge.

that's a tough question, as much as i would like to make a song based off of someone else's theme, i also would like to have my theme used in a better way then i could provide.

so really, i don't care if i'm chosen or not. i win either way.  :P

So be it then. The theme I have chosen is DanJTitchener's Piano Miniature No. 5. Here's the link: http://www.youngcomposers.com/music/listen/4849/

I will shortly pose the challenge.

Edit: I will post the challenge soon.

Great!!! That's the work I was expecting to be chosen! (so, this answers your previous question: at this moment, I'd rather compose something to the next challenge than sit and wait for people to compose something on my theme)

Hang on, what do I do then? Wait....? lol
I guess I have a few other things to do, another set of miniatures beckons maybe!

Lol Dan just sit tight and wait for us to butcher your lovely theme :P
