Prelude No.11 - Live Performance by Henry Ng

Thanks to @PeterthePapercomPoser and @luderart for the ideas in this. It was my first dabble at using the mystic chord and a #4b7 mode, as well as trying out a short undeveloped form. I like the result, and hope you do to.

Wow!  You've really packed a lot of mystery into the 39 seconds of this piece!  I love the mystic vibes!  I think it sounds like something out of Chrono Trigger - like when you can't open a black box passed down through generations or can't open a sealed door.  I love your use of the acoustic scale and how well that jives with the mystic chord.  It leaves quite a unique sense of incompleteness or like the whole thing is a mysterious unanswered question.  Very cool and I'm looking forward to the final installment!

Hey Vince,

I seldom love a very short piece, but for me the brevity here creates a great suspense! The chords, rendition, even the gothic style font is a great combination. Again I like your quartal harmony here, this time it's more mysterious. You have development in this piece with wider register covered gradually. Great dissonant ending at the end! Thanks for sharing and waiting for your last installment!

Henry

Nice! You have succeeded in creating a great and mysterious atmosphere, in a short piece. I  guess that you have been influenced by my idea of the "sententia". I hope to hear more short pieces!

I felt that way too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Peter, I always like to hear what you have to say.

Glad you liked the end, it was the only time I changed what mystic chord I was on.

Thanks Luder, I was inspired by the forms you use. I don't know how often I'll be writing undeveloped music, but this one felt right to end the way it did, and I was like, "I think I just wrote a soliloquy."

Thanks guys!

Very convincing, and very much shareable with my non-musician friends. Thanks for this very small treasure in the form of a prelude. I tend not to like very short pieces much but this might be one of the clearest exceptions. The care you put on the score is also appreciated.

Kind regards,
Daniel–Ømicrón.
