Musical Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 This is lovely. Great writing for the harp. The piece is reminded me of Poulenc's Mouvements perpetuels, with its unpredictable, sudden, yet pleasant changes in mood.

Omicronrg9 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Very adventurous piece. It's full of life and character! Despite its brevity you managed to contain a decent amount of well done transitions. I just love the ending. Kind regards! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to show what it was like being creative in a pretty normal ordinary social world sometimes. Not here just day to day living in the world. The dramatic turns are supposed to reflect a world that is not always recongized or given the time of day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musical Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Yes, Poulenc is definitely worth checking into if you aren't familiar with him! May I recommend one of his piano concertos: and also his cello sonata: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=-ImBojYDiyU&list=OLAK5uy_nMh7q0UNFwT2s6UDE-idgMjMCpXHxiOWk They are excellent works, he is quite an underrated impressionistic composer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The worldwide famous @Left Unexplained is back! Just under a minute you fully display your understanding of orchestral timbre and sudden modulation. The opening basssoon melody is great, as well as the brassy passages later, and the ending is freakingly beautiful. Your usage of orchestra is so original and un-clichetic! Thx for sharing!

PeterthePapercomPoser Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Hey @Left Unexplained! So this is the thread where you got the Poulanc Piano Concerto recommendation! Thanks for passing it along! What is the instrumentation for this piece? It sounds like you're using reduced orchestral forces most of the time. In the beginning it almost starts like a bassoon concerto. Then you switch to having the trumpet on the main melody. It ends with a really nice shimmering texture. I am noticing lots of oom-pahs in the strings but then towards the end you break that pattern and allow the piece to conclude calmly. It really is too bad that it's so short. But it does sound finished and I love the lydian flavor. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
