The Great Lighthouse - Part I

Hello everone 🙂

My first post here is part one of larger composition I am currently working on. The composition is called The Great Lighthouse and is inspired by Christopher Paolini's book Fractal Noise.

Part one is written in largo - A minor and is called Discovery.

Please enjoy and any feedback would be appreciated 🙂

Hey! I feel like I am called to reply as I too just published (on this site) a piece about the Ocean. While not directly similar, I find the coincidence of seeing another work detailing a small part or structure of the sea too good to not look at! 

I have a few things to say about the score: Engraving, orchestration, and motif usage. I have downloaded the score off musescore and am currently writing annotations on the work. I will share my annotations in a separate comment. However, for my own knowledge, can I ask how far you are in music? Are you a pianist, woodwind, brasswind player, etc? Are you experienced in theory, orchestration,etc?

Just looking to know about your background as I wish to avoid possible obvious comments. 🙂

Thirty years ago, I was an accordionist. Now I’m just a hobbyist. Feel free to leave any comments, they might not be so obvious to me 🙂

Hello again! I just finished my comments and am eager to share. Please find this PDF for your convenience! Go to the end of the score to see the final comments.

May anyone else on this thread also consider checking out the comments and share your thoughts!
