Happenstance

Thanks Ad Hoc, I appreciate the support. That idea really pushed me to the completion of my song. However, I will try to make note, that the next time I enter a contest, I will work harder to build into the rules.

Hey guys. THANK YOU so much for the feedback on my piece. Sadly, I am aware, and have been, that my piece doesn't fit into a "Theme and Variations" contest very well, and I understood the penalties I would face, score wise, because of it. But, I was DYING to do some writing and soon after I started, it transformed into something very different from a Theme and Variation, so I went with it, and couldn't say no to submitting my work. My goal was to, at least, have you, the listener, enjoy what they were hearing. I hope I did an ok job. About my score, I am very sorry it was of poor quality. I usually write a scratch score dealing with the music on a note to note basis (What you guys were looking at) and finish my ideas up by adding dynamics, instruments, and adjustments later in a separate program. It kinda makes things worse when you throw in that I couldn't even figure out how to get a score until the week before submission. So you might be able to see how it ended up so pathetic. Haha. Sorry again, the score really wasn't given much time. That, and I had no way to differentiate sounds between things like the "String Pluck" and the bowed strings, so I did what I had to, to create to sounds I needed. Using different tracks was the only way to do it on the program I use for writing, and I didn't condsider it THAT big of a deal at the time. Hell, I got the sound I wanted. Also, Ad Hoc, you were dead on when you described it as being a song loosely built off of a theme. I am glad that you derived that from the mess I presented. The rules kind of became second after I started writing and, at that point, I just wanted to create the best possible tune I could based off of that wonderful theme, I think of it as a tribute, so I accept my scores graciously.

http://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/d8a508d5876c4de6d4d833470fac136229d9d554 I FIGURED IT OUT!! Here is access to the score. a) the part "misc" is the percussion. b) It is named "project 0," because I still cannot figure out how to rename it.

Well, I am trying to supply you a score and the rules have stated that I can supply one IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE TO ME. I HAVE DONE THIS IN THE FORM OF A MIDI FILE! LOAD IT IN YOUR MIDI WRITER!!! This works fine, there is your score!!! But if that doesn't suffice, will someone show me the quickest alternative to this? I have started a Noteflight, but I have no idea how to share my score. (Which IS uploaded) I have a score, I have it all written out, I just don't know how else to share it. Instead of being lazy and picky about it (A SHARING METHOD WAS NOT SPECIFIED IN THE RULES), just download my midi track and look at it. Why does this not work!?!? I am willing to cooperate around this, but I refuse to take a 0 on half my project because of an unwillingness on your parts as judges to either just open the midi up, or give me help.

I looked into Noteflight last night...hell of a wonderful thing! How long have I been missing out on things like this? But, I cannot manage the 10 free scores I get for being a non-paying member. There is nothing I can really do but save them (without being able to even name them), and open them back up. Any way to share (or, name the score!) that I might be missing?

No, I haven't. Should I look into them?

Give me some feedback when you get the chance! I'd want to hear it, with any questions or advice! Oh! And the Pokemon healing sound that also influenced this song:

SUBMISSION: Here is my entry: http://www.youngcomposers.com/music/3307/dying-at-the-pokemon-center/ This link goes to my site and has THREE things: 1. The entry song 2. It's corresponding paragraph below the song, detailing what I hope the tune accomplishes. 3. The SCORE in the form of a MIDI file. - I am a broke college musician, and in the threads it says that I need to supply a score by any means necessary, the only way to access the score is through a midi program, and it is the only way I have access to it.. Just open it up and it is in all its detail. If you need a great FREE midi program, download Anvil Studio, (Look it up online) and it will open the file just fine as a score, part by part. Lastly, here is the video game THEME song that influenced this project (If you don't already know it by heart):

Would someone forward me to the directions for submitting the music? (I have a piece ready, I am new, and I can't find the specifics here)

You never put my name up! And I have been working on a song! So put me up! :)

I'm in! Sign me up! Also, what are the submission rules/processes? I just joined this site moments ago and the details are not listed above. Thanks!
