Hi guys, here's a wrote song I composed and recorded. Would enjoy hearing your thoughts. Thank you!

Hi, wrote this piece in Concertato style after studying Corelli (particularly some of his trio sonatas). I think it has some elements of Galant Style there as well, but I have explored the possibilities of imitative counterpoint, fugato passages and exchange between first and second violins, which are in the essence of Corelli and baroque music. Also I have recently installed Musescore in my computer and I am quite impressed of the available sounds out of the box. All sounds used from the free libraries. I hope you enjoyed it and will be happy to hear your comments.

mine is for early keyboard instruments and it’s very rare to see slurs in this context but they do happen every now and then. because the style is generally a lot more articulated than later keyboard styles, i think the slurs are there more to group the notes rather than to demand legato. i only included slurs in the first couple measures to indicate that the notes of the jig rhythm should be grouped together thereafter

@PeterthePapercomPoser Thank you so much for the information! I was unsure of the key - I wanted to write the piece in C# major but mostly wrote the piece in a flow, I guess, and after that I forgot to check the key. Also, I labelled the instruments in musescore and used the "Send to YouTube" feature. I did not know that they would remove the instruments. I'll edit the piece and do it again, so I'll look at the instruments thing then. Yes, this is (sort of) for new year!

Thanks for the listen. The dynamics that you hear are not intention and are the result of the DAW that I used, for some reason it renders certain notes a certain way and I probably should look into how to "control" the notes more!

it’s melodica not accordion lole

Hi @Guardian25! Your organ samples are amazing! This piece makes me feel like I'm in a grand church. As far as the music is concerned, I don't find anything objectionable about the melody, harmony or counterpoint. There's some terraced dynamics which I'm assuming an assistant would help implement for the organist? I love the canonic imitation which leaves plenty of space for each melodic statement to speak independently of its answer. Great contrapuntal technique! Thanks for sharing this [sacred?] piece!

Hi @jejrekmek! This is quite a unique and accomplished recording and performance! Your musical tastes and whimsy is truly out of this world! The Summer Sky song is very soothing until you introduce the noise/distortion which I am wondering what your intention is with that part? Would you include the lyrics for the members to be able to enjoy and comprehend along with the songs? I personally would really appreciate it! I like how the song doesn't just end - it dissolves through diffusion of its musical elements. The stickiness piece is quite soothing as well and sounds like it comes from a dreamworld or some kind of film-noir universe! Are you playing accordion in this? How are you managing to record/perform basically everything you submit to this forum?! You are simply amazing. Thanks for sharing these two gems.

Thank you everyone. I am working on the script for the video. I most likely will close submissions, however if you are eager to get in and have a great example for me, let me know! I'm also adding @Thatguy v2.0 to the competition. I contacted him privately about his use of slurs in his vocals (whether he realized it or not), that make their debut in The Crusty Candy Cane, lol.

Thanks for your constructive feedback, you are right I have rushed the photo and put it without the "r" in written haha.

Ok lol. At this pt, fr the comments, I don't rly have reservations about length anymore, which was the initial concern. Ah yes, this is what I need to incorporate into my score-making, though I'd also be careful not to overdo them. wanted to link the last note of m 94 to the first note of 95 and the first note of m 95 to the second, yet also to show it is not taken as the phrase as a whole. ...and I just realised the pedalling in the ending needs quite some correction.

My two cents here: In my first nocturne, published here BTW, there are two very similar passages that are played distinctly because of the articulation, expressed by words, slurs and stacatto markings. In one hand, we have the main theme consisting in simple one octave & broken arpeggios. Everything is marked legato (which tends to be more comfortable than very long slurs). The end of the legato section is sometimes marked by another word or when a change of character appears in the piece. On the other hand we reach a similar section consisting on arpeggios at M53, but this time the passage must be played ben marcato e agitato and as slurs appear as a consequence of the general character this passage has being more or less contradictory with a legato playing. The contrast between these two sections is evident and can be heard at my post. Not much, I know, but hope it's been worth the read :B. Kind regards, Daniel–Ømicrón.

The contrast between the two themes is great and very self explanatory. Snow is beautiful like the first theme, but unusual and strange like the second theme

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum... This is a piece called Noah's Song, referring to the Biblical character of the man who was lost in the great flood. Thanks for listening.

I would like feed back based on how my music: A. Stands out from others B. What impression it gives off (emotion, what context does it sound like its in, etc) C. My structure/arrangement static electricity1.mp3

Did a bit more work on this, and added a vocal track. Think it's coming together!
