Long time no see. I was busy with military business, romantic relationships, covid, etc. Now, at long last, I managed to compose a music piece after more than half a year. The piece is based around the coda of the known Bach piece "Toccata and Fugue in Dm", reimagined as a boss fight with three loop-able phases and transitions. Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions. As usual, constructive criticism is most welcome. This piece has no score because I don't think it's perform-able.

Hi, It has been a few weeks since I have posted some of my own content. I have been asked to write a piece for Organ by a friend of mine who intends to play it at a local church. I have completed drafts of the other two movements although I need to add a bassline. Once that is complete I will upload to the thread. The Allegro is mostly finished; I am just completing the recap and reviewing some of the harmonies. The Bass part in the development section and towards the end of the exposition is intended to be more interesting than that at present; I usually produce a simple harmonic draft to indicate which notes I should emphasize and what not. I will say that the harmony in the development section is uncharacteristically "adventurous" against my track record, however I suppose pushing the boundaries is how we learn best. The focus at the moment is providing a bridge between the first subject and the second subject during the recapitulation. Of course, I cannot replicate what I did in the exposition as I would modulate to D. The second subject must be played in the tonic key in line with sonata form and from what I understand, composers simply added some new material for what would be the transition, modulating instead to the subdominant before ending with a dominant chord, or tonic of the home key.

Hey there, I'm new to this forum ☺️. I just wanted to put my latest work/composition "The Door Beyond" here. It is a mixture of a few old compositions of mine edited with logic pro to one big song. I am excited what you think about it.

Falling Stars.mp3This is my first dramatic composition I've been working on. What do you think?

This is a short organistic fantasy with many tensions. I hope it can be interesting. https://soundcloud.com/roberto-zini-84021232/organistica-tensione-1

The is the opening of my first organ concerto, which I have subtitled Il Festival, Italian for The Festival. What do you guys think? -
My first proper attempt at writing something baroquey. I was wondering, what's the best way to describe this piece, academically speaking. Fughetta, Fugue, Double Fugue, Counter fugue?

I've always wanted to try writing a piece for organ. Though he didn't write much for organ, I am a big fan of Mozart's organ music and in particular his Fantasy in F minor which inspired this work in terms of structure and the fugal subject which is similar, though otherwise I treated the sections very differently. It is generally organized as a chaconne-like theme and variations in pairs separated by two extended sections (a fugato and a more lyrical section). I had posted an unfinished version of this in the incomplete section and I greatly appreciated the feedback. I also plan to transcribe a version for string orchestra.

This is a half-finished piece I started over the summer on which I hit a wall. It's an organ work, inspired by Mozart's Fantasia in F minor for Organ. There are parts that don't sound quite right but since I've listened to this so many times that now I can't really be objective as to which parts work and which part don't so any honest feedback is appreciated. The score is quite a mess but I've attached it as well. -
Hello I am writing a piece for the Pipe Organ and I have some questions: 1. Are these stops possible: Swell = Oboe 8', Great = Principal 8', Choir = Bass Flute 16' Pedalboard = Principal 16'? 2. Can an organist change stops halfway through a piece? 3. Which manuals can be coupled to which manuals? 4. Are dynamics easy to perform on an organ? 5. Where do I write on the score which manuals are being used and the stops used on them? 6. Can more than one stop be used on one manual at a time?

This is a piece I composed this spring. I would classify it as a Toccata-esk organ piece, however when I wrote it I didn't intend for it to be a Toccata. I don't really know how to categorise this piece, I hope some parts of it are quite enjoyable.

I would like to share with you my new composition. It was exceptionally painful and frustrating to finish, but I hope that those emotions added a bit of an artistic and melancholic spice to this silly little piece. Enjoy and thank you for listening.

Hello, I've recently tried a new composing style and wanted your thoughts on the results. I basically sat down on the organ and thought of a quick story (like a chase for example), saw what came to my mind and learnt the piece by heart until I was able to reliably record it without making too many mistakes. I've recorded 3 of my attempts, I'm going to give you a quick insight about what they are supposed to capture. 1st example: Supposed to simbolize someone going outside after a very heavy thunder storm, getting onto a train and daydreaming, but the train hits the emergency breaks and the adrenaline induces almost a panic attack, which then leads to him fainting and having another dream, that is more sinister than the first one. Example #2: Someone walking through a very mysterious yet sinister enviroment and then getting chased, basically running until he finds shelter. I find the end to be a bit unsatisfactory, but I don't want to judge my own music. Example 3: I'm not quite sure of this one, but what I can remember that it was supposed to represent someone waking up, and having a sick day. I'd love to know what you think about them. I wouldn't even mind being told every single one is a disaster, as long as I can learn from my mistakes.

Someone on another forum was asking for music for their church treble choir that's just starting to learn to sing harmony. They are good at partner songs and call and response. So this is church appropriate and uses lots of unison and call and response, plus a little bit of harmony. Since it has so much unison it needed a piano/organ part to do some of the heavy lifting harmonically, but I'm not a pianist. If you notice that any of it would require really awkward fingering please let me know! I'm attaching a pdf of the score so you can read along. I think this would also be really nice for treble choir plus women's choir, with the kids taking the first unison section, and then the adults joining them. Or for an easy anthem some Sunday when the four guys in your church choir are all out of town, and all you have are sopranos and altos. Thanks for listening! Here's a youtube with the score rolling by in case that's easier:

Nocturnal creatures on hunt. A music I made for a scene on my game where the player walks through a forest in the night.

This sketch was up to study how to write instrumental accompaniment for a simple chorus, how to write different variations of a melody, and of course, what sequence I should use. The lyrics are from the medieval ages by Albert Csanády, and it could be used as a sentence of a Christmas oratorio, or something like that. Again, I say it's just an attempt or sketch that I upload, and I'm up to get adives or criticism, in order to get the accompainment, the melody or the sequence better, according to classical construction style. Thank you!

Not an especially adventurous work, written in a day and a half for a funeral. I decided to upload it simply because there isn't much in the way of organ music, and the organ is the "king of instruments".
