August 9, 20169 yr This short little piece was written in response the Birthday Composition Challenge: My instruments came out to be Flute and Vibraphone. I was also inspired a little bit by Luis Hernandez's entry in regards to serialism. This is the first time I've written for this combination, where both instruments are very exposed. Feel free to comment on where I can improve.
August 9, 20169 yr Great! I love it. The instruments sound very well together. Well, I like this kind of atonality, which I call "classic" because it is melodic and it does not go into total serialism. Besides, this style is nice for this kind of jazzy music with a few instruments.
August 10, 20169 yr Author Thanks Luis! Yeah it's not total serialism, but the "melody" is based on a tone row.
September 27, 20178 yr I love your harmony and how you brought back the main theme at the end - what a lovely 6th chord to end on! Well done writing for vibraphone, also.
