Starting to compose - first tune for strings


Mariusg

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. It's my first post here in youngcomposers forum. So, I decided to start composing! My goal now is to compose a short piece every week, with some kind of limitations, to keep my work organized, more interesting and asking some research. To get started my limitation now was simple - write melody first and then harmonize it. So it's my first tune for 'one tune in a week' challenge, and my first composition for strings!  Sounds a little silly, but I had some fun while composing this, and that I think is very important! 
Critiques and feedback are more than welcome! 🙂

I appreciate the way you move the harmony around. To me, the first half feels more dissonant than it actually is, but the ending has a much more tonal flavor. A nice juxtaposition. Keep it up with your challenge to yourself. That's a great way to gain new skills.

Thanks for nice words! I see what you mean. I wasn't doing it on purpose, but I think I just felt like that unconsciously while writing. I'm glad that I took harmony lessons at school pretty serious, although now I study jazz performance and it has almost nothing to do with it. Thanks again, I'll try to keep on writing!
