Alex Weidmann Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) This is a piece I wrote a long time ago. Was originally for piano solo; but I rearranged it more recently for vocal chorus, with harp and drawbar organ. Not sure it has any merit!

Alex Weidmann Posted July 19, 2022 Author Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) I don't have a proper score yet; but here's a very basic one from the original midi version of the piano piece. Edited July 19, 2022 by Alex Weidmann PDF The Mysterious Cave -score- Quote
Tónskáld Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 Interesting piece! I enjoyed the spontaneous harmonies and chord progressions. As a choral work, however, it is completely unsingable. Would you mind elaborating on how you chose your harmonic language here? I didn't really detect a pattern to the various chords, but I'm also not the best score analyzer, lol. A colorful and enjoyable ride. Thanks for sharing! 1 Quote
Alex Weidmann Posted July 19, 2022 Author Posted July 19, 2022 It was probably just a product of my crazy hormonal teenage brain! Would've also been influenced by the wide repertoire of classical piano works I was playing at the time. This was just the first section of the piece. The rest was based on Chopin's Revolutionary Study; but I never got round to digitising that part. Guess I didn't really think about whether it could actually be performed by a choir. I just thought it would sound spooky and atmospheric in a vocal arrangement. Quote
Luis Hernández Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 Wow, I love the harmonies here. They're crazy and puts you on other world. But yes, I don' think this can be sung, either. The harp and the organ are good choices, but perhaps it would work or a string orchestra (instead of that chorus). 1 Quote
Alex Weidmann Posted July 19, 2022 Author Posted July 19, 2022 So glad you liked it! Here's a basic rendition with strings replacing the chorus. MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu Imported_The Mysterious Cave (strings) > next Quote
