I think you should go whole hog, and call it a "paragraph".

I think Triplum or Terzetto would be a good name for a three-part composition, one also reflecting your independence from hidebound traditional forms. Sonata just means a piece that is "sounded" (ie played, as opposed to sung) and is a rather generic title—though in no way an inappropriate one, as a study of the œuvre of John White (with many sonatas under 2.5 minutes and bearing no relation to the textbook sonata form) will show.

I can hardly think of a more deserving winner in any YC Monthly / Bi-monthly Competitions since I joined YC. Especially given the demanding nature of the required composition, and of course the stiff challenge posed by most entrants, especially Xiangyik. Well done, Matt - keep up the good work!

Drugs will allow you to win, take them in advance.

Maybe we should have a poll for those who write tonal music? Poll: Those who write tonal music do so because they are copping out, lack imagination, and can only do style copies? Yes of course you silly bird. Would you like to join me in selling those tonalists quill pens, lead mascara, and powdered wigs! Ah only a few can truly get away with writing good tonal music since much of the possibilities of tonal music have been exhausted! Of course not, there are all sorts of tonality - pick one shall we? Indian ragas? Arabic maquams? Western major/minor scale - or octatonic as Schubert was the first to use it. Ah, I write twelve tone music a la Mozart and can wrestle late Romantic harmony into the strictest counterpoint a la Bach - I am awesome, none shall threaten me. Not applicable, I work with spatial music, sound design, and resonating the universe's aura, tonality is just one consequence of my music that meets the needs of ALL seeking enlightenment!
