nostalgia Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Hi! I just finished a trio piece (elegy) dedicated to 305 victims of sinking accident of Sewol MV in 2014 Sinking of MV Sewol - Wikipedia based on the original melody (inspired from my childhood memories and some Korean folklores)... Any comments or suggestions will be really appreciated!

Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Hello @nostalgia, I think the music is not quite moving forward, but I guess it fits the purpose of an elegy. You use many quartal harmony in the piano part which is quite interesting. For the scoring, maybe putting it with the order of clarinet, violin and piano at the bottom would be better. The clarinet partIt seldom uses bass clef like in b.22. On the tragedy, I am more angry on the stupid, selfish and cold-blooded sea captain and seamen. They did not only do nothing to save the lives of the passengers and the students, but told them to stay inside the cabin, which means to push them away from the saving hands.

Henry Thanks so much for your comments! I just changed the instrument order from orchestra (where woodwinds come first, then percussion / piano, then strings) to mixed small ensemble (Clarinet - Violin - Piano). I'll also make part scores which will be in transposed pitches so that clarinet / bass clarinet does not have any bass clefs... Actually this full score is "in C" meaning all instruments are in sounding pitches, but since this piece has only three instruments and thus doesn't need a conductor, I think I can also transpose this full score so that clarinet / bass clarinet doesn't have any bass clefs nor more than three ledger lines... Any other comments about this piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I love the scoring more now! 3 minutes ago, nostalgia said: Any other comments about this piece?
