Wow! Some surprisingly good counterpoint, though it's difficult to see how it will all fit together without the text underlay. Consciously or not, you've taken a cue from Niccolo Jommelli (1714-1774) in scoring your Requiem for voices and strings alone...his Requiem (1756) was the most popular and often requested of its day, until Mozart wrote his in 1791. The sparing orchestration makes it more likely to get played. I agree with ComposaBoi on just about everything he said. Measure 11: The tenor part goes dangerously low, down to B below tenor C; consider a D instead if it won't mess up your counterpoint. Measure 17: Awkward for Violin I - the C on beat 3-1/2 is icky to try to reach down to there, it means shifting a third down the fingerboard for one note, then shifting back up again; consider the G above instead. Measure 31: Odd ending, it seems to me. There is no third in the chord, and while that's not without precedent, I don't feel like it works here. Consider an E-flat as the final note in the Soprano and Violin I. Show us more of this as you have it! Well done!

The counterpoint is very impressive, so well done! I would have liked to see how the lyrics align with the notes, but I'm not sure if note flight is capable of that. I would definitely recommend musescore if you can fit it on your computer. It is free after all. The main issue is how you're writing for your forces. Violin octaves are a little unreasonable for a tutti section. It's too difficult without a good justification. I would either NOT have the octaves, or have the violins divisi. And the voice ranges are going into risky registers. There's a good short guide "ranges for choral singers: a guide for composers" by Chris Hutchings that's literally just a page and tells you pretty much all you need for writing for choral voices. You can probably find it online.

Idk, I still think the flow is off. Maybe its just a stylistic preference, but the cadences into rests, then starting back up again threw me off. I kept thinking the music ended, but then it kept going. It's nice as it is though, its a really great picture type of piece, like a tone poem. I just think it could have been shorter if you like it the way it is, to me its begging for contrast. Not necessarily something crazy, like throwing green paint on a black and white drawing. But for instance, your harmonic texture is nearly the same throughout. You change chords at the same rate, which makes it monotonous after a while. That can be fine, but we never went somewhere else, so it staled a bit to me. It was very pretty, and as always your coloring is fantastic. The sax is always a nice touch, and Im a fan of your style! Thanks for sharing bruh

“It is a very difficult topic for me since I have so many beloved concertos. Especially when I have to choose among so many that Mozart wrote. I consider Mozart and Beethoven to be the top, but I certainly also have some from the Romantic composers that I adore. I will definitely include 2 or 3 by Mozart. And the ones I don’t include, I feel like I will be doing them an injustice, but what can I do—I have to choose some.” 1. Μοzart Piano concerto no 25 K503 . ( This is seriously my personal favorite piece in general, i cant describe what that concerto means for me ) 2. Mozart Piano concerto no 24 K491 3. Mozart Piano concerto no 17 K453 4. Beethoven Piano concerto no 4 5. Ok here i have to choose and one of the romantic era that is my favorite and this concerto is Brahms piano concerto no 2 PS: “Ah, if only Schubert had written a piano concerto. How much I would have loved that.”

This one is a little bit minor, little bit dorian, kept it on the simpler side. 😄 I hope you enjoy, and as always all comments and thoughts are welcome!

Hello folks! Been a little bit (always is a little bit between when I talk on here it seems) I've been hard at work at college writing all sorts of stuff, but amid all the music I'm writing and playing for school, I've also been working on a personal piece for solo piano. Dedicated to someone I love very much, the piece is an exploration of love. Movement 1 is the only movement written so far, and it is about passionate love (maybe I'll call it Eros. Still figuring out names or if I even want names for the movements.) I'll explain the movement's structure so you can maybe understand what I'm trying to do. Intro: It starts floating on an A dominant 7 chord, overtop of which soars a delicate but sometimes dissonant melody with huge leaps. It remains in this uncertain space a little while. Then it bursts into arpeggios and a fanfare-like triplet motif in F Major, gradually building more and more, before collapsing into the exposition. Exposition: The first theme in F minor is fiery and built from two motifs, the passionate right hand and the rumbling left hand. Cadencing in the relative major, the motifs then set off to transition to the next area. The second theme is in the distant key of D major and is a beautiful transformation of the melody from the introduction. A recurring turn motif brings the melody to its PAC and the closing theme commences with triumphant arpeggios (you will hear the inspiration from Chopin Ballade no. 4) but is suddenly overturned by D minor with the rumbling left hand motif of the first theme, ending the exposition dramatically in Bb Major!! Unlike I think literally all of my other sonata form pieces, there is no exposition repeat before the development. Development: In the soundscape of the exposition's closing chord, the developed introductory melody quietly emerges, again unsure, interwoven with fragments of the first theme. Eventually the second theme's rumbling motif takes hold, and a series of violent sequences commences. At its climax, it collapses again in a whirlwind. Out of the bleak, emerges now the second theme, in a hopeful manner, modulating from Ab Major to E minor, and finally culminating in the most passionate and beautiful variation in G Major, with repeated chords and heavy rubato. It reaches its turn motif and PACs in G Major erupting into the closing theme arpeggios, but now being derailed again, even earlier than last time into C minor! And now we're at the Fugue, based on the same rumbling left hand motif that's been so persistent in the development. After reaching its peak, it sequences a little more and is now in C Major and has successfully set up the dominant retransition to the tonic F minor! Recapitulation: First theme is mostly the same as before. The transition is however different and more "bravura" than before. The second theme tragically is now in F minor, and doesn't get its old turn motif to cadence, and instead prepares to close the movement in the drama of the first theme. But it's diverged! We move away from that extreme low register now into the highest register as we hear one last time the full second theme in F Major, much barer and more suspended, but again with its cadence motif. But it doesn't finish quite yet. It repeats the motif, before slipping back into an A dominant 7 chord for the coda. Coda: Largely an exact repeat of the introduction, but what was before a solid dominant pedal, is now broken up by the tonic in the bass, giving a more resolved sound. With no more burst into F major, the movement closes on low D Major chords. Now the reason I really want your guys' feedback is because I want to play this for the dedicatee soon, and I just want to make sure it's perfect before I present it to him. I did show the piece to my professor, but he said it sounded too traditional and suggested I listen to Sciarrino for inspiration 🥲 Let's just say I have different taste than him lol. The performance isn't perfect, and the score is very unpolished! But everything should come across pretty well hopefully. Thank you in advance! 😄

“Greetings, dear composers. And with this Allegro, my second sonata is complete, and I am very happy and satisfied with the entire work. This movement is like etude of modulations, but I believe I have refined it well enough for everything to sound natural and have the right balance. I hope you like it.”

@Churchcantor Almost nobody is familiar with Jommelli, and more is the pity. His Requiem is in E-flat major, yet it still sounds appropriately sombre. There are several good performances available on YouTube. Here's a link to my favourite:

You know what... by seeing this sentence immediately those two opening chords play on my brain and the music plays itself non-stop.....

No Doubt C# minor!! My all fav. piece, Beethoven's op.131 Quartet is also in that key. And I write my 3rd Piano Sonata in the key too. My upcoming piano pieces set will be in that key too. Henry

look @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu it has only been a year of me exploring the pipe organ lol but thanks for tagging. surprised you weren't interested in those random pauses... I like the modal harmonies of the piece but I think it would really benefit from specifying the registrations, as the score currently stands doesn't look idiomatic for the organist, and the default computer playback isn't doing wonders

I would second that. I can't really get a good impression of your piece from Noteflight, the playback is too ropey. (That may be why you're not getting many reviews.) MuseScore would give a much better rendition of your score, even with no tweaks whatsoever.

I feel that emotional writing in the 7th hits me.

I think mozart 25 is great too!

Howdy y'all! I'm writing an Oboe Quartet (Oboe, Violin, Viola, and 'Cello) and I'm wondering about the upper register of the Oboe. It's not exactly giving me fits, but I'm having trouble believing that the instrument is as limited as it seems to be, realistically. Being a Classicist, I tend to write parts that are intended to be playable on 18th Century instruments. I'm a string player, but have it on fairly good authority (and actual experience) that the Oboe, circa 1790-1800, was not really capable of playing anything above a D6 (D above high-C) reliably; there was a famous exception in the period, a virtuoso player named Friedrich Ramm (1744-1830) in Mannheim who was capable of playing an F6 (F above high-C), and it was for this player that Mozart wrote his celebrated Oboe Quartet in F, K. 370. In my own Sinfonia Concertante in C for Oboe, Bassoon, Fortepiano, Violin, 'Cello, and Orchestra, which was performed by the Austin Baroque Orchestra on period instruments (the oboe soloist's instrument was a copy of an original from 1806), I wrote a couple of E6s (E above High-C) that didn't come out well in performance, despite the excellence of the soloist otherwise, and that has made me hesitant to write anything in my other works for the oboe any higher than D6, even in my Oboe Concerto. Now I'm wondering if that register above D6 is difficult or unreliable on a modern Oboe. What do you guys think? I've had to rethink a couple of passages in this piece I'm working on, and I'd like to know if I'm being a little skittish. For that matter, if you think my experience with my Sinfonia Concertante was not representative of what a really good player should be able to play, I'd like to know that as well. Thanks in advance.

@PeterthePapercomPoser Hmm, I'm not exactly sure what you mean; I don't see anything missing on my end. I didn't replace the file with anything, just changed my explanation!

Greetings All: Sharing my Viola Sonata on this Thanksgiving-Eve. The style I was trying to emulate is early Beethoven, in my own inimitable way. The parts are equal - in fact, as was often the case in Beethoven's sonatas, the Piano takes the upper hand about as often as the Viola does. Hope you enjoy! Composed: April 19 - July 4, 2022 at Austin. Style: Classical, ca. 1790-1800. Duration: 18:10. Electronic Rendering by Finale 26 music notation software’s "Human Playback" with NotePerformer 3 artificial intelligence assisted interpretation.

This could be a study on how to use slurs effectively in bowed instruments. How did you get the slurs to sound so good btw? The microtones add an interesting color to the piece and the rhythms are fun to listen to. You used 5/8 with a purpose. Also, the ending is so normal and calm compared to everything else, does this mean that love was found after a chaotic journey?

I wrote this piece with the goal of submitting it to a competition. However I could not get myself to format the music to my preferred level, and a general disdain for the form of the piece, so I decided not to submit it. I have worked quite hard on this piece, bringing out many new textures for myself. But I am at a point where I am too entrenched into this piece to make the large formal changes I want. So I would like to share it with you all. This piece is about a Whale and a Whaling ship, and their corresponding battle, capture of the whale, and bringing it home. I thought this might be an interesting idea for a competition, with a lot of dramaticism inherit, and generally a little easier for a listener to make the connection. Let me know what you think of the piece. I'd love to hear your input on the different textures throughout. I think this piece has some pretty awesome moments and I hope you guys will let me know.

This is a really fun piece to listen to! The brass writing is top notch. The highlight for me though, was the duetting between the piccolo and flute. Not a combination I would've thought of using. Love the strange sound of the flexatone! Will have to use that instrument some time in one of my future works. I wonder, would it come through as strongly as this against a full orchestra? Or would it need to be amplified?

I really love this. Some harmonies are so interesting and gave very special timbre and atmosphere to the whole prelude. Well done my dear friend. I really enjoyed it

Actually now top six sould also have Beethoven 5.

I agree! I love how Debussy moved his chord progressions along. Thanks for listening I love this too. The sneaky parallel fifths in that string of chords sounds "shiny" to me, my brain kept wanting me to tinker with the counterpoint but I ultimately went with my ears. Thanks for listening, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This is quite an accomplishment, and intensely beautiful. I'm not qualified to say much more than that because of my rooting in Classicism, but you have my compliments. I hope the dedicatee appreciates it.

p.s. i hope you don't mind, I attached a one-shot sightread of this piece. obviously a lot of mistakes as completely unpracticed, but I like playing through scores I like as it builds my familiarity + understanding of the piece. I think I feel less strongly about most of my above pieces of constructive feedback having played through the piece, other than still thinking that page 2 is unnecessarily floral for what is kind of a simple theme and the fugue does feel a little underdeveloped. Warning in advance that there are lots of mistakes but I think there are also lots of parts which alright and you might appreciate hearing someone else play through your music 🙂 you can hear me get a lot more confident at the recap -> coda I think.

Oh this is awesome 🙂 very full of life and joy, lots of humour in the modulation that never gets too excessive but remains very deft and fun throughout. Everything phrase feels very deliberate and rewarding! It is hard to pick any favourite moments given how well considered the whole construction feels. Entrance of the main theme reminds me a little of I think Stephen Heller's piano sonata no.3 in C major, 1st mvt. 🙂 edit: forgot to mention, final 2 bars are an absolute delight edit2: it's piano sonata no.3 not 4, i misremembered

Yes, I mostly write in a stream of consciousness. I often use either modes or pitch-classes. Although, when I have 3-4 different, contrasting parts, I often try to repeat some or all parts, maybe in another way, slower, faster. Just now, I'm writing something where I take the first theme, which was made in C aeolian, I repeat it with the first two bars in A harmonic minor, the next in B harmonic minor (not transposed just fitting the notes in the new mode) and then harmonizing in these modes. So I rarely use strict functional harmony, although I sometimes do. My ideas for harmony is also inspired by modern jazz-fusion as well as classical. Someone like Allan Holdsworth, that wasn't educated in music, but created his own weird harmonic language with complex chords that sounds great (IMO) but without functional harmony. If my choice of harmonies reflect that, it's an honour! My "stream of consciousness" are also inspired by Danish late romantic composer Rued Langgaard, especially his 4th symphony ("loevfald" - the falling leaves). Also, I try to go a bit further sometimes, like taking some ideas from "twentieth century harmony" by Vincent Persichetti, and using that as a starting point.

To be clear: this is a really awesome and impressive work. I have included a bunch of constructive notes in this since you seem keen for some 🙂 listening/reading notes: Introductory page is extremely beautiful. Love the improvisatory nature, spacious without feeling empty [Have to say I am not a huge fan of the F major melody on page 2, it feels a little straightforward to me] Modulation in bar 26 is very nifty 🙂 Love the bass motif in the main F minor subject, very characteristic and memorable Reappearance of the intro subject at 67 is great, everything up to the build and surprise Bb chord (fun trick) at 94 is awesome [95-108 is a little meandering for my taste] Modulations through 117-143 are very compelling and exciting 160-163: *chef's kiss* reminds me of some Rach climax harmonies here. Arpeggios at 165-180 are a little extravagant for my taste Fugue at 181-196 has a nice idea, you have a great subject, I just wish it had a little more time to breathe (4 voices enter on the subject without any development time between their entries). in this area bars 190-195 feel the most effective to me because they feel the most balanced; the voices here have rhythmic variety to distinguish themselves clearly and there's a little more negative space to guide the ear. I feel like the classic fugal structure of introduce voices 1 and 2 (maybe 3 if you're feeling brave), and then have some development time before introducing more voices, would work well here. It feels a little more like a gesture towards a fugue than a fugue (maybe it's a fughetta). Recap is great 🙂 i do like this theme a lot. The crunchy move in bar 229 is great 263-290 feels like it could be trimmed. We've just heard this theme in the recap a few moments ago anyway, and the straightforward dotted rhythm is not the most exciting thing to zone in on for several more bars. It feels the movement on top of the tremolo is a bit slow. But the exit out into 291 is very beautiful. I love the intro, so obviously I love the outro too 🙂 And to be fair, the F major theme from the start pays off pretty well in bars 317-318, great way to finish. (Maybe just something a bit briefer / less extravagant than page 2 would suit me.) I really like this piece! I think there is possibly a 12-13 minute version that I *love*, but it is not my place to play editor haha

Hi Stig. Just listened to "Evening Sun" It seemed like a stream of consciousness; rather than something with a fixed structure (such as Sonata form, Rondo form, etc...). I found some of your harmonies quite interesting and unexpected. Perhaps this is your unique was of composing. Have subscribed to your You Tube: so will try to listen to more of your work in the future.

harmonies in bar 3 (loove the surprise Csharp) and 34 (yay raised sixth!!!) are my faves 🙂 whole thing has a wonderful melancholy vibe. the tresillo rhythm of the middle section is a fun vibe to bring into it

It is well-constructed but reminds me too much of these semi-atonal things I wrote in college, like my monstrosity of a clarinet sonata! So, I love it, but do not like it.

Very nice! It sounds to me a bit proto-impressionistic, like a young Debussy.

Interesting...I might look into it if life gets a bit less crazy, as it has been for me this Fall!

You don't really need to learn how to use MuseScore. All you need to know is how to import a MusicXML file, and then export the audio file. Two very basic functions. The virtual instruments and voices are assigned automatically. Of course you can get better results by tweaking some of the dynamics and articulations; but you'll get a decent audio without doing any of that.

I've noticed that for Christmas music (yes - it's that time of year and I've already written a piece for the season!) I always tend to write in the key of Eb major for some reason. It also happens to be the key of my favorite Beethoven Symphony - No. 3. Perhaps it's because of that symphony that people ordinarily think of that key as "heroic" but I think of it more as a warm key. I also prefer flat keys, even if it causes way more flats in the key signature than is practical. For example - I prefer Ab minor or Eb minor to G# or D# minor. I'll just use the Ab major and Eb major key signatures and write extra accidentals for the notes I need to make it minor. Interesting topic!

Hello, I will be just looking at your “ the evening sun”. Great pacing with the strings so far. Also, I like the flute solo thing. I like the mood that is giving off I like the little effects from the strings popping out sometimes I feel like the melodies can be smoothen out a little more in the brass I like the percussion arrangement and the instrumentation in the use of the percussion I believe that was a bassoon solo and it’s higher register I couldn’t tell that was very good The ending with solid, and yeah, it was a good composition just a little thing about pacing and what not and the piece direction it was one of those pieces that feels continuous because it’s short it doesn’t feel like the same thing and it’s structured in a good way with different instrumentations throughout and unique orchestration anyways good job

@PeterthePapercomPoser Oopsie, yep, fixed. (Unless it was a bass oboe 😮)

Hi Churchcantor: I've never thought of doing that, as I have rather few views, and I'm very much an amateur, but if you have Dorico Pro version 6 I could send the files. I have never tried to make a printable "engrave" version in Dorico, and as it is, the files are rather unreadable when i go to "engrave", I need to change the font or something, the staff-lines run into each other. It would off course be a good training to make an engrave version, so I might look into that, give it a month or so, then I could send a PDF. If you are interested, I have a couple of new small symphonic pieces: Sun in November October Nights

Yes, which I really like...my progression has some of that, but it's not as dramatic as I would've wanted. Yes lol...That was just some material that I had written previously that I harmonized...I tend to write like I'm making a quilt, little sections here and there until it comes together.

To me, the whole point of having a pedal tone over some changes is that at some point or another it becomes a non-harmonic tone in relation to the harmony which brings in some nice dissonant color. But your plan of having AbM-EbM/G-Gbmaj9-Dbm works because the G's and Gb's are dissonant with Ab. Now, the only thing that puzzles me is .. why did you take the trouble of modulating to Db minor if you immediately go back to Ab major? I thought you were going to stay in the Db minor key longer to introduce a contrasting theme or something?

I tried to make a song based off early internet viruses, even from before I was born using my notations software's transistor bass, made in 1988 with it unchanged since. sorry for the audio being absolutely chopped and laggy, i just might of went a bit crazy with the drums😅

i see sonata, i click this is magnificent. the motivic interactions... harmonic blending... so good. too long for my internet attention span. but I think it could work in a concert hall very well. and impressive fast octaves! very needed when it is the main motif one thing but that is personal opinion, the open octave accompaniment might sound a bit too hollow (like bar 67), does work better if the register is lower (like bar 17, 274 etc.) bars 189b-191a why suddenly regular triplets instead of the dotted? I find it becoming "too baroque" for a few seconds, especially with the traditional harmonies there. Again, opinion only, and I have no professional qualifications lol

Nice tone painting so far the orchestration is really nice too A good job with the orchestration and combining slurred and staccato textures together. On mallet instruments it’s a fairly rare use to do doubles. Great job with the accel. Good with using the smaller end of dynamics. A nice with the double reads low double reads with this pattern of single notes staccatos Flexatone that’s really good good use in a professional setting for that. The textures around 105 is really good. I appreciate the dissonance and surrounding force surround it. I appreciate the English horn solo. And good attention to detail with the Bowing. I rarely see non-string orchestra composers incorporate, bowing directions in the score but like that’s good. Circa measure 180 maybe a few measures next there is a engraving error with the suspended cym part good job with voicing parallel fifths it gives the effect that is needed. Good job with this slower parts. solid ending and with full magnitude as well Anyways, I enjoyed this piece a lot. I hope you well and keep up the amazing work.

Was still thinking of it, and will get to it, but yeah; life is getting ahead of me!🤪

@Churchcantor Figured I’d nudge ya regarding your thoughts on this score and what could’ve been done to improve it 🙂 Life gets ahead of all of us, as I’m aware. I’m sure this post went to the back of your mind after some time. No rush! Just didn’t want ya to forget about me!

I want to go from Fm to C#m, though Still easy, though

Dear friends, hello! I'm Zhang Wenhao, a singer-songwriter from China. It's been a while!

Hi @bkho I like this short piece! I think to continue an uninterrupted musical narrative throughout the whole piece you could have the piece, instead of repeating back to the very beginning, repeat to bar 3. Likewise, you could repeat from bar 20 to bar 13 instead of to bar 11 like you have. I think it would really help keep the pacing and melodic narrative going. The melody that starts at bar 52 made me expect a fugato passage, but you took it in another direction. Thanks for sharing!
