Who wants to help on a Lied?

I am looking for someone who can write a short poem (like Erlkonig) for me to to write a single movement Lied.

The benefits are:

You improve your skills

You have your name in the composer section of the sheet music.

You will get a piece of music dedicated to you.

Cons:

Takes time

If you are not within my expectations, you are not going be selected. Luckily, I believe you could write beyond my expectations.

Wnas that too many question marks?

When @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu first joined, he posted his clarinet quintet, it's like an hour long... and it wasn't until SIX weeks later that he got someone to give legitimate feedback, and all that while he listened to nearly everyone's music and posted quality advice. It seems unbelievable, but like literally everyone lol.

No one even cared to reciprocate all his generosity and FREE labor for weeks and weeks, and it wasn't until @Omicronrg9 gave him quite possibly the greatest most in depth review I've ever seen. From that, I got to know Henry and Daniel better, and eventually @PeterthePapercomPoser, @chopin, and I all started conversing on discord. It's cool how you can meet people from all over the world with like-minded passions, and we still chat here and there on discord. I'm thankful for the community, for the friendships. 

But this happens because we're all actively engaged with each other's music. We're interested in helping each other out, getting to know each other, etc. Now whenever I see any of their new music posted, I'm quick to notice and excited to share a thought or two. Mostly because I just WANT to, but also because I know they'll do the same for me. Even if I never post music anywhere else, I know the YC bros will at least check it out. 

You seem young, get to know some people first! A lot of people here are in their teens and twenties, and they'll be more eager to share thoughts with a familiar username than a foreign one. You'll fit right in. And until then, poke around the forums too! There's TONS of cool music here. TONS of great composers roam this forum, even if some only come by occasionally, so don't be afraid to reach out 🙂

People will get around to your post, it's usually not as instant as you (or I) would like. I write song lyrics, but not much else as far as words. Keep posting more music too, because the more cool pieces people interested in your question can sift through, the better chance you'll have.
