A hollow theme for Halloween (Fall 2025 competition)

A 4:30 piece I made in online sequencer in G#. link to behind the scenes: https://onlinesequencer.net/4928420

I hope I at least get a 7.5 average rating

Hello there @therealAJGS

Entry: A hallow theme for 

Average Score: 7

Review:

Melodies Themes Motives (6.5): 

I feel there are too repetieve. 

Harmony Chords Textures(8):

As for textures, you have interesting textures.  They interreact well each other. 

Form Development Structure Time(6):

I feel this piece is rather repetitive.  I do not know what the general form is.  

Score Presentation(1): 

Thank you providing the score. However, is needs polished.  I do not what parts on the two trebles staff represent each instrument.  

Instrumentation Orchestration Playability(5.5):

Again, with out a proper score, I not be tell playable it is.   Having said that, the instrumentation is rather interesting. 

Taste(8):

For taste: and 8 is correct. 

Next time; please provide us a score!

why 5 days? 

Also, I could give you classes on music theory and these stuff on private chat too. Anyways, I am just going to say, try to write notation next time!

yeah, I've been  considering learning music theory because about half of the people on Youtube say you either need to know it, or don't have to know it.

@therealAJGS: you can learn after this.  

Any one here, can help with theory, form, and etc. 🙂

It depends on your goal. Your intuition allowed you to make a piece of music that a normal person would say sounds fine/ cool.

For a more refined level, you can take that intuition and apply things like chords or melody structure. All of which will allow you to replicate your work more consistently versus "doing so because music theory is essential for writing good music". If you want a free, collegiate-level, link to start learning music theory, consider checking out Music Theory for the 2st Century Classroom. 

This site is the one I used as a Freshman and Sophomore. It's pages of music fundamentals to complex theory; it is also paired with exercises and worksheets for when you want to practice these skills.
