October 6, 20232 yr obvi this was written a long time ago also not completed, but, I haven't uploaded in a long time, so, henceforth, upload 4 yall.
October 6, 20232 yr Soothing, lyrical at the outset, gorgeous harmonic progressions and melody. Nice contrasting episode at 2'52". It's all good, the scoring, the balance. I liked the brief clarinet solo around 4'10" reintroducing the calm. Altogether a pleasant piece to listen to except you missing off a final chord when it cried out for resolving.. Otherwise the closing bars were magical. Great. So please add that final chord!
October 6, 20232 yr I find the middle section where the Clarinet solo comes in at 2:52 both familiar and new somehow. I am also surprised at how often you use an "oom-pah" accompaniment. I don't remember the last time that I've personally used "oom-pah's". Maybe explore some variations on that pattern such as the paeonic "oom-pah-pah-pah" which I think you did include somewhere in there or the dactylic "oom-pah-rest-pah" which I think you also used. I am so disappointed by the cut-off ending of the mp3! At least if submitting an unfinished work, let the last chord speak and release! I think this piece has lots of potential. Thanks for sharing!
October 10, 20232 yr HI @Left Unexplained, The opening passage is so captivating with the flute melody and harp accompaniment, plus strings background. The Eb major section in 1:00 is more disclosed and confirmed. Very beautiful there and reminds me of impressionistic music, and the buildup is so natural!! Many members will just rush up and abruptly bombard the passages, but you are so careful and well planned to have the climax bulit up little by little!! The clarinet melody as @Quinn and @PeterthePapercomPoser noted is just gorgeous and humorous, and provides a good contrast to the previous more mysterious musical style. I like the flute solo in the reprise section very much, it's indeed an augurs of spring. And the final chord! Maybe just a long Eb-F-Ab-Bb chord will be great! A wonderfully colourful and interesting music you share with us, thx for that! Henry
