Hello Guys, This is my entry for a competition. The task is to compose music about this image. Click here for the competition's details, if you are interested! What do you think about my composition? I attached a sheet of music, but this isn't the final version of it.

Hi there. I'm a new user to the forum. Thanks for having me. Here's a nocturne I wrote earlier in the spring. There's a scorefol.io link as well as a YouTube link. Cheers! https://beta.scorefol.io/w/5DO85q8czo7lzAXOSZDZ Fog Nocturne [score].pdf

Constructive criticism is warmly welcome 🙂

This is nice! Dramatic, and F minor suits it. Have you thought of giving a title to this?

Thank you for your kind words Omicrong9! I used Presonus Studio One as DAW software, Notion 6 as notation software and a bunch of Kontakt sample libraries for example: Modern Scoring Strings Cinesamples - Cinebrass Cinesamples - CineHarps Orchestral Tools - Berlin Woodwinds Project Sam - True Strike

Most of the soundtrack is pretty lame on its own, but the Crisanta Phase II theme from Blasphemous is easily the best track on the soundtrack.

Just not to repeat criticism, I find flute rapid notes very nice and a bit underused (though this might be not the best case for extensive developments). The piece is, well, a bit short to my taste since it seems that something wants to begin around 1:20 but it doesn't; the piece ends instead, but since it is required by the competition not to be longer than 90 seconds I cannot really complain, you've done good with the time given. Regarding the sound, it's solid and I really like it. May I ask what kind of software/libraries have you used for it? I'm very much used to writing my music in paper or using engraving software but it seems that achieving proper sounding for orchestra (without actually hiring one) requires much more than musescore or similar software can produce in terms of sound... Kind regards and thank you for sharing!! Hope you get into the finalists group at the very least!

Constructive criticism: • Minor detail: beware of the Pedal markings, their end indication sometimes overlap with the starting indication of the next line. • Another minor detail: why all indications end with a dot? Opinions: • The repeated motif is catchy and will really shine in any human interpretation that's for sure. • I like the 8 bars before the M49 & the coda a bit more the rest of the piece :), good job there... excepting perhaps M57-59 that sounded a bit like "Tico Tico no fuba" and which I liked even more possibly. I felt like this was kind of a theme with variations at that point and I would have really loved if you had developed those three bars more, they were great! Good job! Kind regards, Daniel–Ømicrón.

Love story. Love story dedicated for my parents. It took me to write only one day because of so many emotions sleeping in me after my mother passed away and my fathers grief. Hope you will enjoy it.
