mossy84 Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Haven't really written anything in quite some time, but I felt like writing this after imagining the melody. The choice of hymn was arbitrary (just something I already knew), but it was really easy to set to music.

PeterthePapercomPoser Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Hi @mossy84! What an amazingly realistic sound rendition! It's too bad you're only using it to write traditional chorales. Imagine what kind of amazing choral pieces you could make if you weren't limited by common practice harmony! Thanks for sharing. Quote
Monarcheon Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Wonderful little work. The <sol, fa, me> imitation at the end is one of those little things that make me smile when I hear them. Not sure if you're a stickler for conventions. It's entirely possible you know better than me; I'm sure they're likely one of those things that you see in the repertoire and you teach students not to do it anyway (happens a lot), but: 1. I notice an augmented second in m. 3. Odder still is that it's followed by a leap. 2. In m. 7, the second beat has one of two potential issues: either it's a iv chord without a third (!!!) or it's a iiø6/5 without the fifth, which students are taught that when you have an inverted seventh chord, all the chord tones should be present. It sounds great so who cares—and like I said, it looks like you probably know more than I do about the actual Baroque conventions—but they're just things that popped out. I'd be interested to know if they are just stylistic norms that I don't know! Edited 1 hour ago by Monarcheon 1 Quote
