April 4Apr 4 Hellloooo! This is my submission for the Landscapes competition. For my landscape i have chosen the Italian mountainous region of the Lombardy. The instrumentation is (supposed to be) 1 Cornetto and 3 Sackbuts, but there is also the possibility of other instruments like a consort of viols or a broken consort.LOB 64 Padovana et Gagliarda Detta la Lombarda.mp3OBS: The original insturmentation is sadly not possible due to the fact that i dont have good enough virtual instruments that have a good sound, the only ones that i have are soundfonts that sound quite unrealistic and robotic...

April 11Apr 11 Beautiful Renaissance Style Writing. Really intriguing and fun to follow. Although this next request unstylistic, I can't help but wish for articulations, and dynamics. I know blasphemy, but consider this is a "MIDI audio" competition (basically). I think secretly adding some articulations and dynamics would add and extra layer of interest.

Its actually not at all unstylistic, on smaller renaissance bands like Consorts and Alta Capella, dynamics where used. The problem is that i don't know how to use finale very well, wich is the software i use to make it, so tweaking the dynamics the way i would want would take a lot of effort, so its best to keep it bland.
April 30Apr 30 Hello @L.S Barros Your piece reminds of the Baroque period suites. Texture-the chorale(homophonic) texture succeeds at establishing a peaceful, serene scene. Harmony-Although the harmony is primarily diatonic, the chromaticism shines through in other means...non chord tones. Score-The score is clean and the engraving is spot on. Orchestration: I felt maybe there some imbalances. (lack of dymanics)
1 hour ago1 hr Hey there. Here is my score of your entry. Entry: Padovana et GagliardaForm: Here, I feel, the composition has created a strophic chorale structure. Each section of the piece of the composition is well peace and clearly marked. Even without a proper formal development, this baroque chorale (in 4 parts) stands on its own feet's. Score Presentation: L.S Barros' score did not show any engraving errors. It was presented in professional manner. The parts were labeled. Playability: This chorale is certainly playable for any level. The only technical issue that may happen school concerts. Young musicians are not familar with 3/2 meter. But that is not even something to worry about. Creativity: I appreciate the fresh take on chorale Harmony: The homophonic texture was well executed throughout this entry. I appreciate the modal mixture and other forms chromaticism that you used throughout and how you resolved them! Execution: this entry met the correct theming of challenge and was within given time limit.Taste: It was refreshing to hear brass chorale with this competition. Chorales are usually associated with voices. Here, we get to hear one with a brass quartet. Quartets provide a more emotional musical experience to the audience, imo. I felt I was actually listening to 4 brass players and not brass section. Thus, I enjoyed this a lot. Themes: Each section has a different unique theme that repeats. (noted: this is the nature of chorale) Average Score: 9.8Melodies Themes MotivesHarmony Chords TexturesForm Development Structure TimeOriginality CreativityScore PresentationInstrumentation Orchestration PlayabilityExecution of Given ChallengeTaste10 10 109.5109.510 10
