yea i wrote it in pieces...like every week for a few months i would write a few measures and yea i changed a bunch of stuff and added material afterwards - i worked on this with a private coposition teacher, so like he would tellme to fix stuff and i would change certain parts

here is the first movement of a string quartet i am working on...tell me what you think! string quartet10.MUS

hey! this piece is entitled "the winds of love" and attahced is the melody line for this! - tell me what you think! the winds of love3.MUS

tell me what you guys think! Amy's Song50.MUS

lolol thanks soo much for ur comments! yea im a guy....im the singer for the second verse! this song was for a national science competition - for the national energy foundation...glad you liked it!!! yea the first singer is actually my singing teacher, and yep! shes a professional opera singer

thi song is about conserving energy.....(i had to have it in mp3, since thats the only way i could record it) also, i had to zip the file cuz it was too large... hope u like it!!! and comment like crazy! nevermind....for some reason i cant upload it here - but u can dl it at http://www.sendspace.com/file/2pxvtu

hope this helps you all feel the story and the reason why i did what i did in this composition :P

well, first of all, thanks so much guys for your comments!! idk if this helps you feel the piece, but it is meant to be a story of a dolphin which begins in the very calm and flowing environment of its mother, father and relative dolphins - very calm and happy then it is kinda scared to leave its family - which is showed in the couple measures with the harmonic minor scales. then it is very active and enjoys the freedom of the wild "outdoors" soon, it runs into a shark which accounts for the extreme atonality experienced. the dolphin manages to hide cleverly and the shark fails to catch him. then the dolphin comes out of hiding, and then faints he wakes up and finds himself surronded by his supportive and caring family and the piece closes happily note: it could also be considered a dream - where after "leaving the family" it falls asleep and has a nightmare - and the high major 7th chords at the end are him waking up and finding him in a happy relaxing family environnment

so here it is! lol ive been working on this piece for like two years lol i guess i dont compose too often ;) heres the finale file if any of you want to see it and also the midi just a note: at the end there are a couple of random fermatas in the midi file - thats just because finale is terrible at playing your music back correctly PLEASE COMMENT!!! :D floating_dreams.MUS floating_dreams.MID

Also, no offense ben, but i really appreciate ur support for my lyrics and i would also like if one of the older and more experienced composers in this forum would comment on my lyrics too (lol its just cuz ben's only 16) lol again - thanks soo much ben for ur encouraging remarks!! :)

thanks again soo0ooo much! i will start writing the song in the next week and as i write a chunk of it i will try to post it here :) :) Mitche

wow! thx so much i honestly thought ppl would comment on how bad they are lol thx for the support!! :happy:

come on guys! lol u know u want to COMMENT! ;)

I decided to write a pop/rock piece - and i figured i'd start with the lyrics - well...here they are lol hope you like them! (I am terrible at english, so my choice of words probably isnt very good) I WANT TO KNOW Why do they do this I just dont understand. They smile and tease us But we know its all planned They flirt and they please us But what does it mean Cuz when you pursue it She turns her head and leaves. Oh, I want to know What girls are thinking What goes through their minds When they hurt us like that. If only they'd show Just what they wanted - Oh, I want to know. I met this sweet girl At a party last week. We talked and laughed And as we started to speak We smiled, leaned closer. And closing my eyes, I sigh - Oh. am I such a lucky guy! But what do you expect When everything is goin cool? She pushes me away. I feel like a damn fool. Now I'm standing here With nowhere to go. Now what do I do? Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh! I want to know What girls are thinking What goes through their minds When they hurt us like that. If only they'd show Just what they wanted - Oh, I want to know. I want to know. The END

if i was composing this, i would make the 4/4 measure 3/4 - and make the quarter note "d" an eight note and go right in to the "c", since there is no need to stop the flow of the music just becuse you're going back to the original theme - maybe you could add a slight ritard or a breath mark if you want
