Nice .. but John Williams never contributed in any way to the Star Trek franchise!

Please don't forget to suggest badges in the List of Manually-Awardable Badges thread! We are going to try to institute a new policy for this competition. Besides the members voting for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, there will also be specially created dedicated badges that qualifying entries will be able to win. If you submitted an entry that qualifies under the contest rules (having a duration of between 3 to 7 minutes and being for 3 to 5 individual monophonic or polyphonic instruments/voices) then we will try to create a dedicated badge for you to win. So far we're thinking of the following awards: Padovana et Gagliarda “Detta la Lombarda” by @L.S Barros - "A Rustic Mood" award Amidst the Clouds & Flowers by @InstrumentalistElle - "Nature's Garden" award Morning On Whidbey Island by @BipolarComposer - "The Peace of Nature" award Let us know what kind of award you would like to win if you qualify under the given rules!

I wrote another Romance for my girlfriend Julia's birthday. I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think! Romance No. 2.mp3 Romance No. 2.pdf

Not a stupid question at all. And yes - that's allowed and has happened before. But please remember that there is only one entry allowed per participant.

Hello @Martynas123 and welcome to the forum! The piece is nice and made up of cool musical ideas! The only thing is that it basically repeats the same ideas at different pitch levels over and over. Also, peeking at your score, I noticed that the Cello part goes all the way down to an Ab below the staff in bass clef which is impossible without scordatura tuning which is a highly unusual technique of tuning the lowest string lower than usual. Even if you used a scordatura tuning in this piece, the quadruple stop you have at the end of the piece seems impossible with that tuning. Thanks for sharing!

Just a simple piano romance for my girlfriend Julia (for her birthday). Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think! A Romance.mp3 A Romance.pdf

Upon further reflection the staff have decided not to allow subsequent entries from the same composer in the competition. This is because it would give the said composer a higher chance of winning a badge/award. In the Christmas Music Event which was not a competition, this was allowed because there were no "winners" (either that or everyone was a winner LoL).

Let us get back to you on that.

Just a reminder to everyone that we have 2 weeks from today to the end of the Landscapes - Soundscapes competition!

@BlackkBeethoven please don't quit writing your piece! Young Composer's Forum should always strive to be a great place for you to receive feedback, guidance and support on any of your musical projects. "Go write a piano piece because you're not ready and need to learn the basics" is not really constructive feedback. Members on YCF should strive to support the composer with whatever project they choose to write, not tell them what to do. We're here to support you in whatever YOU choose to do not what WE think you should do.
