Mockingjay Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Hello everyone, Because of the lull in current competitions and the fact that I just purchased EWQLSO Gold and am eager to try it out, I have decided to start this brass choir competition. Brass choirs, if you are unfamiliar with different ensemble types, are generally a mix of trumpets, horns, trombones, and tubas, as well as sometimes euphoniums and or bass trombones, and they have six performers or more. So, here are the four requirements for entering the competition (if you fail to meet these requirements, your piece will not be judged): The work must employ six brass instruments or more (other types of instruments are not allowed) The piece must between 1 and 10 minutes long You must provide an audio file of the piece (either MIDI, mp3, or WAV) You cannot have previously posted the piece If your piece meets those requirements, it will be judged according to these categories: Emotion (any emotion you wish, but it should be conveyed effectively in the song): 1-10 points Creativity: 1-10 Technical: 1-10 Personal Taste (of the judge): 1-20 A score is not required, but you will automatically score a 0 in the "technical" category if you do not provide a score. And yes, Impresario, I copied this points system from your July Competition... I need at least 3 judges and no more than 5. Judges: Charliep123 Peter_W. MichaelAlex Competitors: Inkweaver SamvParr impresario last life Norby Deadline July 31st at Midnight (your time zone)! HAPPY COMPOSING!
impresario Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Could I enter please! ... Hehe, I found my name... hehe...
last life Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 I've never written music for brass. That must mean I'm in!
Norby Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Ok buddies, I'm in :) Brass instruments are the best ever. :D
Peter_W. Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 I'm not an expert composer by any means, but I know brass music. Perhaps I can help judge? I wouldn't feel right being the sole judge, however.
Peter_W. Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 *whistles* Inkweaver? Do we have two judges so far?
Mitchell Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 I shall enter. Incentive to do some composing once again. WAIT A SECOND, you mean to say that a MIDI is not good enough for an audio file?
Mockingjay Posted July 14, 2010 Author Posted July 14, 2010 I shall enter. Incentive to do some composing once again. WAIT A SECOND, you mean to say that a MIDI is not good enough for an audio file? MIDI is fine. I just forgot it somehow...
Mockingjay Posted July 14, 2010 Author Posted July 14, 2010 *whistles* Inkweaver? Do we have two judges so far? Yes, we do. Sorry, I was gone from young composers for the last week or so. MichaelAlex, you are the third judge.
impresario Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Sorry Inkweaver but I'm going to have to drop out. I have classes next week and the week after is vacation so I won't have enough time to complete anything. Sorry and good luck with the competition!
Mitchell Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 My piece might not get finished, but I'll try my best to stay in.
SamvParr Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Sorry to do this, but i've had some stuff come up. I drop out. Sorry =(
Elizabeth Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Inkweaver- have the pieces been critiqued for this competition? If so, would you please post the results?
Mockingjay Posted December 1, 2010 Author Posted December 1, 2010 Hello jesusfeak, I'm sorry, I haven't been on the forum for the last several months. There were no compositions entered into this competition, so I have no results to post...
Elizabeth Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Ok. I'm going to move this to the old competitions folder then. Feel free to post a new version of this competition, and we'll do our best to advertise it!!
