Well, the nights are getting longer, the frosts are appearing on the ground, @PeterthePapercomPoser and @Thatguy v2.0 are locked in battle... It can only mean one thing - it's long overdue time for the annual Young Composers Christmas Music Event! The Brief Same as last year - write anything you like inspired by a winter celebration of your choice! Or, if you don't celebrate anything, maybe a piece to capture gazing over miles of snow (or grass if you live in the Southern Hemisphere) ... If you want to participate, pop a comment below! You could have a look at last year's competition for inspiration if you like: It would be great to see lots of you taking part! No prizes, no winners, just a way to get the creative juices flowing during the Season. Submissions will open on the 1st December. There will be a separate submissions thread, so look out for that! There's no time limit but you'll probably want to have your piece done by Christmas, or at least the end of December. Excited to see what you come up with!

Quinn Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) This post was recognized by chopin! "This was so fun to listen to, and very beautiful, it deserves its own thread. Thank you for participating this year. Now go make that thread!" Quinn was awarded the badge '2023 Christmas Music Event - Participant' and 5 points. Here's mine. Very rough, apologies. It's three variations on the Christmas song "God Rest Ye Merry Assorted Genders". The last one is sort of upside down as far as possible. There was going to be a full orchestral 4th but it's a bit chaotic here what with work and things, so it ends a bit abruptly.

There was going to be a full orchestral 4th but it's a bit chaotic here what with work and things, so it ends a bit abruptly. I stand less chance of finishing it than a celluloid cat chasing an asbestos mouse round hell. It's in E flat minjor and tonal aside from some inebriated adjustments. Alas, it hasn't been refined or properly balanced. But...heck...Eat drink and be merry! Hey why don’t you post it individually too! It definitely worths it! What you consider rough is much better than most of us ha!! I enjoy the folklore style! The 1:37 clarinet is beautiful, as well as the pizz. passage. The abrupt ending ( not the evil random or abrupt pauses) well fits the chaotic end of a drinking party right? Thx for sharing and joining the event!
