    Ravel was very much influenced by American jazz and you can certainly hear the influence in his music through pentatonics and somewhat instrumentation. I would study the elements of jazz along with Ravels compositions and that would help you immensely. After all, if you like Ravel's works then you are likely to like some jazz. I would avoid avante-garde for the moment though. It's a bit advanced and new.

    I'm sorry to say that I will have to resign from the competition. My hard drive crashed and burned and I lost all of my data, including my work on the composition I was to enter.

    Well hell. If there's another spot left, I'll take it :P

    The description on the page has a stipulation that says that "composers and librettists are allowed up to 7 performers (divided between instrumentalists and singers as you wish)" does this mean no grand orchestra? What the hell kind of opera is that, then?

    I wasn't able to get into the site. I got a 'fatal error'.

    I would like to be a competitor, please. Is it required that what we write sound Christmas-like? Or can we just write a trio of whatever?

    Promises to upload something new by the end of February.

    I get Manuscript books called Archives from Sam Ashes. It's 96 page 10 stave..... slightly larger than the other book I had, but you could probably find a bigger book from the same company. There was a website on my book that I have never been to, but you can go if you wanted to check it out. it was www.daddario.com Goodluck finding a great stave book!

    I have finally made the switch to Finale!

    There is a 90% chance I will have Sibelius 7 by the end of the year

    Is modern day music breaking the ancient rules composition, or is it just a new era with a new way of writing things?

  13. ImperialFlute

    Okay.... so I finished the second part to my symphony, went back and connected the sections as best as I could.... now it's time for some development!

    I will not participate in this competition, but I am interested in the Baroque Cantata.

    The reason I do not like the sound quality is because some of it sounds fake, like the piano, for instance. What I would like is a notation sequencer that does what noteflight does, but offers high quality symphonic sounds.
