January 7, 20188 yr Hello! Here is my latest composition with a theme, on which I have always wanted to write music: DINOSAURS! This short one-movement sonata is composed for alto saxophone and piano. I will perform this piece for the pre-study composition on alto saxophone accompanied by a pianist. The sonata is kind of programmatic: The setting is a restful valley full of dinosaurs (including tryceratops). Baby dinosaurs are playing and having fun, but then the dinosaurs smell danger. There is panic, because the dinosaurs are not sure where the predators will come from, they only hear their heavy footsteps. Suddenly an enormous tyrannosaurus runs out of the forest. A friendly baby triceratops flees and runs as fast as it can. It is catched by the predator, but luckily the tyrannosaurus has become tired. The baby escapes and all dinosaurs continue with their restful life in the beautiful valley. I hope you like it! Feel free to comment! Maarten
January 7, 20188 yr A very cool piece! I was especially a fan of the variety of textures you crafted throughout the piece -- none of them seemed out of place -- and I felt the piece flowed quite well. Very nice, and I hope to hear a real recording of this piece.

January 8, 20188 yr Great work. I like How you move among different types of harmonic systems. Your transitions are clear but soft.
