      Acceptance

      By MinGry · Posted

      @TristanTheTristan Thanks for the welcome! and thank you for taking the time of your day to check out my music! I really appreciate any feedback and looking forward to hear what you got say more!  It's already been very interesting composing for multiple instruments my primary background is piano. I especially am blown away how much you can get away with modifying the motifs cause it feels like the instruments themselves can ground a motif pretty well.

      Acceptance

      By TristanTheTristan · Posted

      Hi there, @MinGry, welcome to the Forum!   This is a decent piece of music, for a start, although, I do realize there a lot of compositional errors too.   Bars 1-2: One of my favourite parts. It kind of has a nice, catholic tone to it. I would say, this quiet opening really fits my style. Appreciate that, though stop writing tempo numberic markings, and start using muiscal terms more. (eg. Allegro; Fast, or Largo; Slow, etc.) Bars 2-4: This is where thngs start to get messy.   (not done yet, gonna come back later)

      VIOLIN CONCERTO

      By Sojar Voglar · Posted

      I don't know. Due to its repetitive and diatonic nature it sounds like a copy of Phillip Glass (first two movements) and Carl Jenkins (third movement) to me. And the violin part is relatively ineffective, it's just a slightly exposed solo of concert master above the orchestra. It lacks certain ammount of longlasting interest. This is the type of music I'd listen to at home as a background but I'd not be really looking forward to hear such one at live concerts.

      Persichetti Exercise 2 - 8 for Clarinet Quintet

      By chopin · Posted

      This is a good motif, supported by interesting harmony! This would work well as a jazz piece. All you'd have to do is change up the harmony, and add some drums. But the rhythms and theme can remain the same!

      Acceptance

      By MinGry · Posted

      Hi Everyone!, Acceptance is the first multi instrument character piece I have written. It is part of a broader concept: a Cycle of Death, in which I explore the theme of mortality across three pieces: Denial, Acceptance, and Rest. Using the Dies Irae as a harmonic backbone. In this piece, each instrument has a distinct role: The piano represents the truth of death that must be accepted. The flute embodies the human conversation with oneself: longing, hoping, and ultimately accepting. The violin and cello symbolize the path toward acceptance, guiding the listener through the journey. It was very fun composing this! Especially love bars:29-36 and 53-60 Let me know what you guys think! Hope you enjoy it! YouTube link
