Rondo for Strings and Solo Alto

Hello. First post - Yay! I have combed the internet for quite a while looking for a place like this. SoundClick was the closest I could come before I got the bright idea to Google "forum, composer". Anyway, I offer my latest, longest, most formal, and still slightly askew piece. Though I titled it Rondo for Strings and Solo Alto, I'm not sure it follows the Rondo form very strictly. I was rather caught up in the writing of it. The version recorded with samples sounds 100% better, and can be found along with some of my older stuff on My Soundclick Page.

Also, on my computer, this MIDI plays using wrong sounds :P . It's apparently a Rondo for Organ and Solo Vibes, now :shifty: . Simply listen to the SoundClick version. It's worth it.

WHy have you posted the same thing twice?

Did I post it twice? Sorry. I had no idea. My computer blue-screened while I was browsing this place, and I must have just forgotten in my anger. I'm trying to find where I posted it, the first time.... I am confused.

The midi was paintful to listen to, so i listend to the mp3 on your soundclick account.

i really liked your piece! it sounds very emotional and the string line with the solist sound almost eheral! the melody was nice, not very "catchy" but who says that it has to be? : P

I think the whole feel and flow is nice, but i didn't like the pause in the string section at 1:29 ... really disrupts the flow. the rest is ok, but the fact that the piece doesn't end with the voice, makes it feel uncompleate... somehow ouf-of-form... like you didn't finish what you were trying to say!

i think that the piece has very nice ideas, but it doesn't feel compleate to me... at one point i was like "wow so awsome! can't wait to se how will it end!" and then "huh? :closedeyes: "... i think you should make it longer and add another voice theme (or repeat the previous one im a clever way : P ).

Good job, and keep it up! i'll leave a message on your soundclick message board. :happy:

Thank you kindly. I very often get comments having to do with the weird endings of my pieces. I most often write my pieces in one or two long sittings. This one was written in one. It's a great way to keep emotional continuity, but it makes for shorter, less perfect pieces. I find it difficult to add on to emotional pieces like this one, but that's definitely something I'm going to have to learn.

Thank you doubly for your response. I was beginning to think no one cared. Mitch266 did post, but that doesn't count. I understand now that he probably meant "Why did you post it twice in one post?", because I can't find any other post of mine with this song in it. I posted it in MIDI and as a link to soundclick because MIDIs often suck, especially with more emotional music. The MIDI was for the impatient.

That aside, peace.
