July 21, 20232 yr Hello @NicholasG, Welcome to the forum and sorry for my late response! The opening woodwind passage is lovely! I like the overall matching quality as well! One question, why do you end the piece in C major when it never appears before? Also what is this piece about? Thanks for sharing and joining! Henry
July 21, 20232 yr I like this piece! I like the fact that you end it on the subtonic degree - it has kind of the same function or feel as that of a half cadence. Even though you have repeating ostinatos in this piece, they don't tire out the listener. I think the snare drum and bass drum and some of the percussion some of the time sound like an unnecessary addition. At least the entrance of the percussion could have been delayed a bit. There are definitely march-like sections of the piece which are augmented by the percussion. But before the piece becomes fully march-like, it has a much more delicate vibe. Those are my thoughts. Thanks for sharing!
July 21, 20232 yr I also like this piece, especially the handling of the winds and percussion. I just find that, at times, there is a bit of conflict in the low register. You would have to see the score....
July 21, 20232 yr Author @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Honestly I have 0 Idea why it ended to that key I guess me from a year ago thought it sounded cool. The piece is about the Universes beginning and its fast pace as everything's happening at once going from calm to explosions everywhere.
July 21, 20232 yr Author @PeterthePapercomPoser Yea i wasnt sure what to do with the percussion, Im not a good percussion writer lol
July 23, 20232 yr I would like to see the score ... I feel the texture could be a bit more dense. Mark
