Dusk - Landscapes & Soundscapes (Extraneous Competition Entry)

Heyo! This was the piece I was thinking about entering, but too late did I realize it was composed for a larger ensemble than the competition asked for. Nevertheless, I’d like to hear feedback. I wrote this in high school, about the sunset, the night animals coming out, and the following sunrise. Please use your imagination with some of the Noteflight playback, like on the percussion rolls.

Glad to hear you nonetheless participated in writing a Landscapes - Soundscapes themed composition! Where is the link to the music?

Indeed we need our imagination as there's no link here 😜

Would love to see what you worked on, but your post is only text! We need something to view/listen to!

@PeterthePapercomPoser @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu @UncleRed99 Lol, I put the Noteflight link in the first time but for some reason it didn’t go through. I reinserted it now, so hopefully you can see it

Hello @JP S. !

I get what you were going for but the music sounded much too martial to me to match any specific landscape. But it does nicely portray the events you described. I think the final portion is meant to sound like the sunrise and the awakening of the animals right? But I can't help but notice a slight similarity to the theme from "Spaceballs":

Anyway - there's only a slight resemblance. I enjoyed your music so thanks for sharing!
