  1. You and the Rain, for strings orchestra. A piece I wrote in 1 day, having a cold, being unable to go outside, waiting for my girlfriend to come to see me, while raining outside... Never have written so fast before, definitely she makes the difference.

  2. 1. Too short. You have a good melody, supported by decent chords, so there's no reason not to expand on the theme, because otherwise you haven't written a piece so much as you have a melody. 2. Your first measure should be a pickup measure, not a full one with rests. 3. Your timpani part is borderline impossible as written. They only have four or maybe five (rare) drums and the huge span of constantly retuning notes will either not be played or played with a bunch of slides which I don't think you want. 4. Your vocal part should have a designated vowel or lyric set with it. 5. Sometimes your piano left hand and right hand intersect. Avoid that. In that same vain, avoid crossed timbral voices as well, since that happens more in your piano than anywhere else.

  3. Thanks for sharing your opinion! @pateceramics I promised to tell you how it turned out. I decided to not take violin lessons upon recommendation of my music teacher. He namely said that the violin lessons will not be as valuable as I have in my mind. With regard to my already advanced level of composing, I would according to him also need to play advanced music to understand how to write for the violin. This process will, however, take several years. Instead, he advised me to visit many rehearsals of professional orchestras in the country.

  4. Your new deadline is the 17th of September (11:59:59 PST). The point is to get this competition done before fall.

  5. Beautiful harmony! I see a good inspire from original 'Journey' game - but you've got amazing sense of athmosphere here too! With this drone tone - i can tell you, will be better if this will be much more organic, with some changes in it - even the simplest volume level or expression. Just to feel, that this breathe and is more natural. Next thing is about technical problem, that is too much dry for me. Little bit of simple plate reveerb will be best to use here! And everything will be lovely to hear! But good work Peter!
