So, here is my band director's latest idea: After the rousing first movement of our show, we're standing in this cool block... We put our horns down, and the pit starts playing some odd african "dream sequence" (each pit member is supposed to play it "out of time") while we dance mysteriously to the next starting position.... Except it looks dumb. And sounds dumb. >.

I'm so proud of my marching band. We have made so much progress it ain't funny. And our show is awesome. Tritones and minor seconds all over the place.

Spent an hour killing time in a music store (they actually have viola music. I was shocked.) Then had the most AMAZING lesson with a VIOLA GODDESS, the Professor of Viola at Boise State. Then ate purple french fries and a bison burger at Boise Fry Company. Awesome day.

Thank you Marius and your large font. It's helpful to us distressed members to know what is being accomplished. I suppose we were thinking it was another "lame transitional period" between crappy technologies. Let's get back to the point were we have too many people arguing on the shoutbox again, eh? :P

I agree.... I think this forum needs to stay in one place for a while. Too much change is never a good thing. The last skin was a great look, and now it's this boring blue crap. Can we have SOME degree of uniformity, please? First the uploads change monthly or so (that deserves a new thread by itsself) and then everything is messed with constantly?

Hoffmeister is still making my hand hurt. People should never write notes underneath a trill, because I find it hard to make my digits move that way.

So, at a local pizzeria, tomorrow is "French Horn Players Day." I may get the chance to go into the kitchen and make a free pizza.

In an effort to make me clean my room, my father has grounded me from "All electronic and musical devices." >.> I do believe I am grounded from practicing, whereas most parents try to MAKE their children practice. FML.

I don't ever remember feeling so confident about a piece of music. String Ensemble in A minor is coming along nicely, almost done! :D

Very nice! One thing I noticed, is that you use a lot of dissonance- It would be really nice to hear all that dissonance resolve into one giant, harmonious chord. It felt like, most of the time, when you would expect a resolution, there's always just a hint of dissonance that throws it off. I mean, a lot of the time, you want that building of tension, but in this piece, it feels to me that if there was a hint more consonance in the right places, this piece would go from GREAT to EXTRAORDINARY. -MF

Quarter tones in Finale
MusicFiend replied to Jan-Peter's topic in Music Notation Software Help and Discussion
Just avoid quarter tones in everything you do, and you'll be fine. The world is a better place without them. :D
