I guess I would discourage you from creating a suite entirely comprised of nature photographs just because of the variation between movements, but if you have a way to keep it intriguing then go for it!

Thanks. I'll see if I can come up with something. Another question: Can the instrumentation change between one photograph and the next that I use?

Should I officially queue you up? This is going to be treated as a concert work, so if your first movement is for 2 violins and you never use them again that may be looked at negatively, but tacet within reason is fine.

I prefer to start something first. Then I will tell you.

I think you might be thinking of Cindy Sherman? There are many photographers who have raised picture taking to an art form. I can name many, but I don't want to influence the contestants.

July 1, 20178 yr This challenge is very interesting. Congrats! Many people in. Lots of work for the judges (or just one, so far).

July 1, 20178 yr Yes, I think I'll give it a try, in my style, let's see... I found (on the internet) a picture collection that is very inspiring (for me). Nice to resemble Rinsky-Korsakov!
July 18, 20178 yr I'm interested! Marching band starts soon for me (got a new job!) and so I'll be running band camps starting in August, then school starts right after. What are the time commitments for being a judge? Thanks! Gustav Johnson

Gustav Johnson Marching band always sounded like such a time sink to me... , I have to take that class in a year or so... Anyway, for each candidate, you would determine the value the person got out of each respective scoring category, with a short-ish paragraph or two explanation.

Time consuming, yes, but I've never regretted it :) Judging sounds quite enjoyable. Given my time situation, I'll just be an entrant for this go round, but next time you can count me in to give judging a try! Gustav Johnson
July 23, 20178 yr I am very sorry, but I see myself forced to withdraw my participation. Everytime I try to write something, the work does not please me. Inspiration is still an issue. Very unfortunate, because the competition is really promising. Good luck to you all!

Short paragraph would be nice. Judges need to be able to connect without as little or no questions your art choices to your music. Be as specific as necessary.
August 29, 20178 yr Thanks for the response. Sorry if I'm being thick but I'm still a bit confused about the distinction between the points: "a short, written description of the criteria linking the art you chose" and "a written description of the relevance of each artistic work to each movement." I would have thought that what you said was the latter rather than the former.
August 29, 20178 yr I wouldn't´t take it to the letter. What I'll do is to describe why the artist and his/her works capture my attention and how I was inspired in every piece of art to compose the music.
