Tom Statler Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I've listened to all 3 movements (are there more coming?) and I'll comment on all three here. I think the 1st movement is the most effective of the set. I feel that it did take me somewhere, and for the most part kept me wondering what was going to be around the next turn. I also think it went on for longer than it needed to (it's out of proportion with the others) and by the time I was about 6 minutes my mind was wandering a bit. But the contrasting coda with the brass was a good touch. Having listened to several of your other pieces, I feel your music is least effective when you get into a repeating cycle of chord changes that happen predictably on the barline. Adding textural variations to something that becomes redundant doesn't make it go anywhere; it's still just static. You're indulging in that a little bit in the second movement, fortunately for not too many cycles. Still, this movement was my least favorite. I liked the third movement, which has the feeling that it should be a culmination, and my only comment here is that it ends before it really accomplishes anything. If this is still a middle movement then maybe it doesn't need to go very much farther; but if it's the last of 3 then I'm left wondering what it was that you were trying to say.

Syrel Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Thank you Tom for listening to my music. The 3 so called movements from Hraesvelg and the other 3 songs of that playlist https://soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/hraesvleg were music trial tests that I initially made for the BIFSC 2019 scoring competition. I was exploring different ambiance and writing for the short movie imposed but did not find them matching the mood set by the movie. I discarded them and had them stacked in that playlist. The composition that I finally used for the competition was the following one. I hope that you will find this score better that the others.
