beautifulnoise Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 The Twelve Olympians Contest! TENTATIVE DEADLINE APRIL 15!! Write a piece USING ANY INSTRUMENTS with the theme of a greek god(dess) of your choice (Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, Etc.). The piece can be any length and style. Would anyone like to judge? Micah (Pianoforte) write a peice with the theme of any aspect of greek mythology, (aka. gods, monsters, hero's, creatures, etc.) also, you can do a set of pieces and submit them together.
Qmwne235 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I might do Hestia, just for a challenge. Still, I won't actually be submitting anything, as I don't have notation software, so for official purposes, count me out. I just like the idea.
OmarSanchez Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I'll do Zeus and Aphrodite in one. it will be a powerful but romantic piece :) when is the deadline?

Would be more then happy to judge the pieces. Kind regards, B.guy
dane_austin16 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I'm in. Can you tell us YOUR list of which 12 you want, since different accounts name different Gods as part of the twelve. If he is on your list, I will take Hades.
James H. Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Who's up for making this a March monthly competition event? Could be a bi-monthly event. March-April. Up to you guys, but I think we should. █▓▒░Post 1988 - Philip Glass composes the opera, 1000 Airplanes on the Roof, his "science fiction music melodrama."░▒▓█ One random fact per post for your enjoyment!
beautifulnoise Posted March 3, 2009 Author Posted March 3, 2009 I'm in.Can you tell us YOUR list of which 12 you want, since different accounts name different Gods as part of the twelve. If he is on your list, I will take Hades. on my original list, hades was not technicaly one of the twelve (he did not live on olympus) however, if you would like, we can make it a greek myth contest (that would mean you can use gods, magical creatures, heroes, or monsters) tell me what you think about that idea... also, lets make a very tentative deadline of April 1st (we can add time if you need it) thank you for the interest, micah (PIANOFORTE)

dane_austin16 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I much prefer the whole spectrum of Greek mythos. Perhaps a poll is in order?
beautifulnoise Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 I think that the GREEK MYTHOLOGY idea should work, (that way, anyone who wants to do a god can do any god, and if you would rather do a hero, monster, etc. you can write something with that theme. so, you can write anything with the theme of GREEK MYTHOLOGY! MICAH PIANOFORTE
Edgar Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 AHHHHH. I started one for orchestra!!! Can it please be for any instrumentation?
Mathieux Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 w00t w00t! Okay, I'll do Prometheus... wait a second.... *checks wikipedia* :O he's a titan, not a god!! *edits wikipedia* nevermind :) Hmmm, okay so as long as it's with greek mythology.. so titans are cool, otherwise I would have done Ήφαιστος (Hephaestus) but it's not! so Προμηθεύς (prometheus) it is!!

MaestroMarvel Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Could I write one about Odyseus? I already have a couple of melody sketches for him!
beautifulnoise Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 odysseus would be fine (he is a part of greek mythology, isn't he?)
4MalletCapricorn Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I only just saw this and would love to enter... let us see if I can whip something out to meet the deadline :(
4MalletCapricorn Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Oh I feel dumb. For some reason I thought the deadline was march 15 and not april.
Xeno Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I'll try. I'll either do Persephone, Athena or Apollo (but probably Persephone).
