Peter's Lament

I know I've posted this before, but I had it removed. Anyways, this is the final revised version. I'll just leave this one up. I know some people haven't heard it.

Let me know if you like it! :wacko:

Peter's Lament

The link and the mp3 don't work.

Hm... It worked for me. It took me to soundclick and when I click on "download mp3" it worked fine.

I downloaded the mp3 twice and it still doesn't work on my PC.

OK, it should work now. I changed the extension from .wma to .mp3. I guess that was a no-no the way I did it. It's fine now though! :D

I would say this is quite a good sound for a lament, the clarinet in the opening fits the mood well IMO

I could just see Peter after they hauled Jesus off to crucify him after he denied him, the amount of grief he must have felt, unimaginable. That is the moment you are referring to in the title correct?

Although I have one quip with it, there was hardly any change in harmony, the piece was pretty much diatonic. IMO I would have liked it to venture into a different key, or something of the sort. But that's just my opinion

Other than that I think this is another wonderful piece :D

Cheers!

Yes, I was aiming for the image you mentioned.

Concerning a key change; I modulated like crazy! I think the piece went through about four different keys (subtly) and the only way I was able to get back to the Tonic was because of that pause near the end. Before that pause the piece is loaded with accidentals.

Oh, I must not have noticed :D

in my defense I am still quite new at composing and analyzing :P

It may be harder to pick up modulations if you lack perfect pitch, but even then I think the mind has a way of knowing.

Well, its very mournful and beautiful that I listened to it three times in a row. You have a gift for creating beautiful moviesque melodies. I heard the transpositions of the main theme, though some harmonic changes would make them more noticeable. I think for a lament, too much change in harmony would distract from the emotional trance you create with the subtle changes, so I like it the way with the diatonic harmony.

I really enjoyed your piece. I liked the fact that the lamenting intervals were designated for the woodwinds. For me your intened image came across emotionally, and spiritually.

Great job!

Very touching peice.

When I listened to this I imagined that this was just after the time Peter realised his cowardess and denial of Christ, and after the time he "wept bitterly". What I'm hearing is the love and humility that comes with the realisation of forgiveness in the face of error and sorrow for that error. As with a father who reaches out to forgive the son who has wronged him. Contrast to Judas, who also realised his error, but not forgiveness, and hung himself in self judgement.

Good work.

Thanks.

Perhaps I should do a variation of the piece as a Judas piece. It would probably come out pretty creepy though.
