Here's a new score (Finally). Written for String Quintet x Piano Piano Sextet. (😉) Wrote it as a representation of how tense things are in the world nowadays. The mystery of not really knowing where things will go, from here. The rhythm / pulse throughout the piece signifies the ever-long march of time, that no one can run away from. Time that we all are limited in. The key change to A minor at the return to the motif signifies a slight feeling of hope among the tension, I feel, currently, in that I hope that things will become more bearable as time moves forward. Hope y'all enjoy this one. (I may or may not make updates to it, periodically, for the next couple weeks. Y'all know how I be at this point... lolol but I feel this one is as done as I can make it, at this moment.) The Calamity.pdf Updates: Corrected markings for bartok/pizz sections as suggested, using proper articulation marks Added hidden piano staff playing only upper staff for better clarity of the piano's melodic lines Changed sound of the violin to solo violin 2 (muse), out of preference for the more stable tone corrected dynamic markings where it was brought to my attention that they needed to be corrected due to context Removed Staccato markings in pizz. sections for Cello & Cb. Raised Master volume track due to mention of the MP3 playback being a tad too quiet to hear fully The Calamity.mp3 @PeterthePapercomPoser- 4 replies

Hello all, First post here. I wrote this short piece about morality and inner moral conflict. Hoping for some feedback. Cheers! -
Thank you to everyone who gave me feedback - this is the final piece! Program Notes: "Beauty for Ashes" draws inspiration from Isaiah 61:3: "To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified." This piece reflects the contrast between sadness and joy, crafted through Louis's signature blend of traditional and modern harmony; inspired by jazz harmony and film scores. The main motif, a 5-measure phrase, ascends with leaps and scalar motion, symbolizing the climb towards joy and redemption. Secondary material navigates unexpected harmonic terrain, briefly shifting to evoke turmoil before returning to the main theme, restored and renewed. Louis uses modern harmony, secondary dominants, and modal mixture, creating a nuanced emotional landscape in which sorrow's depth and hope's radiance intertwine. The piece culminates in a triumphant, cinematic chorale finale, symbolizing hope and victory. Sweeping dynamics converge with moving harmony lines, resolving to a radiant major 7th chord, evoking flourishing "trees of righteousness" – roots deepened by sorrow, branches stretching toward light. Duration: 5:22 Instrumentation: 1 Flute, 1 Bb Clarinet, 2 Violins,1 Viola, 1 Cello

As the title implies, this is my first composition for strings. Coincidentally it's also my first thing in a sonata like form. Tell me what you think! I don't shy away from constructive criticism. As a note: I do enjoy dissonance, both as a composer and a performer, but I know that some people do not enjoy that in the same way.

Most harmonies and melodies are a sudden inspiration triggered by different emotional memories. I don't know how I feel about this new piece but I hope you all can get something from it.

This is an arrangement by me of the popular song SOS of ABBA.
