I guess the reason I don't do dynamics on Sibelius is because I don't really know how. I mean, I know how to put the dynamic marking in, and how to do the hairpins and stuff, but then you have to do that weird thing where it tells you that what you're about to do is irreversible and I stop there. I have dynamics marked in the score, though. In measure 21, I have it as a glissando. It is slurred, though. Why did you almost leave?

It is short, but it felt finished. If anyone has any suggestions about what to fix, please divulge. Thanks. string quartet 2.mid

I don't know. I thought it sounded more romantic. I guess if I went with the jazzy thing, that would throw people off a bit. Thanks for the comment!

Is this even worth continuing? I like the way the harmonies turned out, even if they are pretty simple. Please, please comment. string quartet 2.mid

Nothing? Seriously?

I submitted this piece in the Jazz, Band, and Pop/Rock section already, but I guess this is more appropriate. So... A piece I wrote in 2005, I think. I remember feeling really special for having written something almost entirely in 7/8. I don't know if it's that good though. Feedback is definitely appreciated. I had forgotten that I stored this on another midi storage site, so here is an older version. I wrote this with Finale and have since made many minor adjustments on Sibelius, so ignore whatever discrepancies you may notice with the sound and score. http://download-sheet-music.com/Original/Seven-Eight-1135278526.mid seven eight.pdf SEVEN EIGHT.sib

I uploaded the midi. I'm just posting now so that people notice.

This is work in progress that I wrote while staying near Pensacola, FL. I'm experiencing major writers block. Any ideas on where to go from here, how to finish, etc. would be much appreciated. Thanks! Audio Xanga untitled.pdf

You say to take your opinion with a grain of salt, but you had to have known as you were writing it that the person to whom you were directing this "criticism" would at least be a little offended, no matter how much "salt" is involved. Just because you don't necessarily understand something that someone does does not mean that you need to call it "nonsensical," "abnormal," "strange," and "random." Even if it were atonal, so what? Is that not a type of music? And the title? I'd point out that hackneyed quote from Shakespeare, but we all know what it is. And finally, why would I want to emulate romantic harmonies when it's easier and more fun to develop my own musical voice? Anyway, thanks for your opinion, I just don't appreciate the way you presented it.

Here is the score for Chromanticism. chromanticism.pdf

This is my first time using this forum. The piece I'm posting is one I wrote for my composition class. My professor described it as melancholy and hip all at once. It's the first movement in what I would like to be a five movement suite. I've named it chromanticism because it has a romantic feeling and is also heavily chromatic. It just so happens that those two words can be combined to form a pun! How fun. I'd appreciate any comments you all may have. Thanks! -Nathan Audio Xanga chromanticism.sib
