Dirk Gently Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 er, I kind of wanted to post my piece up for others to listen :P. Did you make a decision yet, Alan? Or can I just post it? Or should I not? Maybe I shouldn't? But I want to, right? Perhaps I'll do it anyway? No, I wouldn't do that....would I? Would you understand? Does it even matter? Does anything? ? The answer is.

James H. Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 We'll see. I wasn't sure if Abadoss would do it, but I knew he would be fair, so I asked him anyways. Apparently it was okay with him. :D By the way, was it just the two of us, or was there another entry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abadoss Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Sorry for the delay... I've begun as of about ten minutes ago. I should be able to scratch away at this fairly quickly... {edit} Alrighty. Done. It's 2:30 AM, so I'm going to bed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Gently Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 hmmm...congrats to James for winning (I heard your piece, it was indeed well written) :D To the complaints on my piece, though: I thought I'd just say that I thought that the piece was supposed to be our feelings at the New Year, not a "New Year's theme" and for me that meant the piece was supposed to be suspenseful, and apprehensive. I thought I pulled this off on some level :huh:. and my piece was not atonal at all :P. A lot of chromatic notes, sure, and I don't necessarily establish the tonal center right away (I start on a suspension, after all, and hold/repeat it for a while), but it is in F-minor ;) (with an section in F major, of course). I was indeed experimenting with some more dissonant harmonies, more so than I would normally, perhaps, but I thought with a score it would've been obvious as to what's happening.

Dev Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 so are these pieces going to be posted or what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Gently Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 yeah, I'm posting up mine in the chamber music section... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H. Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Yay! I won!! :D Close race, congrats Dave! Just thought I'd back up a few things... about the Cb vs. B major.... I wasn't really sure, and it made more sense harmonically to put it in Cb, so I left it as is. Personally, I love Cb and hate B (even on violin, which I play), so that had some influence. I did look at it in B major, and I didn't like how it looked. :P I know it wasn't the smartest decision. About extended techniques, I wasn't to hot about using them, I was trying to make it rather traditional with as little flare as possible (with the exception of the bluesy gospel moments tossed in). At one point I did have a pizzicato section, but it didn't work out well, so I changed it completely (this is the original material right before Auld Lang Syne comes back the second time). And about how I should be proud of my arrangement/harmonization of the melodies, I am, rest assured. =] Anyways, thank you, Abadoss. :) And you heard my piece, Dave? Where? :huh: yeah, I'm posting up mine in the chamber music section... I suppose I'll do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Gently Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Saw it on your esnips thing. I thought it was nice, but a bit too traditional for my taste....well-written, good technique and all but I thought a bit more originality would've been nice.
