Uhor Posted August 4 Posted August 4 (edited) It took me days and hours but this poem is finally presentable. It's meant for a virtual orchestra, because its so huge. The literal poetic guide is in the description of the video, though it was written after-the-fact. Edited August 4 by Uhor PDF The Earth, The Moon, The Sun 2 Quote
PeterthePapercomPoser Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Hey @Uhor! Thanks to you sharing this composition I realized we're both in the same early music server! I like how you create a rich but oddly calm soundscape in the beginning, only for it to turn more and more menacing as the piece progresses. At first you introduce the night, and the moon. Then the sun rises and creates desolation, even though it is also the giver of life. Your music seems to be a celebration of mostly diatonic dissonance. I like the brass chordal scalar runs up and down around 8:30ish. The music builds through a slow accelerando increasing the momentum. But it doesn't lead to a climax but instead dissipates back down. Around 14ish the music arrives at a big sustained dissonant chord. But it's not overly dissonant, retaining some pan-diatonicism, with the ebb and flow of passing solo Trumpet scales and Trombone counterpoint. Very interesting soundscape - thanks for sharing! 2 Quote

Churchcantor Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Well, this is a nice piece! Not my usual cup of tea, but I like it anyway. Are you Asian? Don't mean to be racial; we are all human! Just sounds that way, pentatonic. Orchestration very good. Quote
Fruit hunter Posted 40 minutes ago Posted 40 minutes ago Quite the mighty show this is it was definitely a journey to listen to…~ that I usually do all of my critique in a transcript sort of like a judge tape this piece is definitely too long for me to do that. so to avoid this becoming a giant paragraph where it would take days to read I would just say my thoughts and observations here from memory definitely what a monumental piece. This was it sounded like the creation of life too, and definitely amazing with the pacing those little Interlude and instrument features kind of made the thing feel fresh and also variations within the common theme of just diatonic dissonance throughout. I don’t know Spanish or anything so you could correct me, but on the orchestration in the instrumentation, you wanted hand bells to be used. The thing about that is usually you’ll have multiple people play them in this case you’re treating it like it’s own mallet instrument which in this case they could be mounted on something. though that this is told to be for a virtual ensemble, it would be quite the piece for a existing orchestra to play in real life Monumental work for you keep going Quote
