Lionheart

This is a piece for concert band that I wrote when I was really angry. It is a very short sort of prelude or overture...I'm not quite sure how to describe it. I would love reccomendations on what to do next with it, or any changes to be made to what's there already. Thanks, and enjoy.

ps. I know the midi sounds ridiculous, but you can tell what's going on.

I enjoyed the piece though it was very short. It may be too short to stand alone but I think it would go well with some other movements.

I agree with robtheman...Very short but nice.

And I think its good that you take your anger out by writing music. Instead of other things. :happy:

haha...thanks brad

If you're feeling mellow, check out equanimity.

The most obvious thing, to me, is that the pedal Bb runs through essentially the entire piece. So, the piece lacks any direction harmonically - the pedal point was very effective in the statement of the theme, but it just begs to break out into a thick, rich harmony after that.

So, it's really a nice start - but it needs more development of the ideas involved.

Too short!!! Make it longer please! I really liked what you had so far though.

So, I'm gonna make it longer, develop the theme more, then post it here. I'll let you guys know what i do.
