A soundtrack sort of a piece

Hello, this is my first time posting here! The score I'm attaching will be part of a set of fifteen tracks that I sort of imagine as a story and I'd like to upload all of them here for feedback. I've only started recently and have been re-writing the others quite a bit because it is very hard for me to write good music, hehe, but this is one I think I am fairly satisfied with because it delivers what I imagined (though that opinion might change the more I listen to it). It's very simple and I'll play it on the piano soon, so when that is done I will attach that recording here too!

Hello piajo and welcome to the forum!

Submitting scores without your name in the corner might be a bit dangerous in the online world!  Just something to consider.  This starts like a funeral dirge - it reminds me of Thomas Newman - the film composer who wrote the music for the "Shawshank Redemption"!  The constant changing between the major and minor 3rd is really affecting and brings a bittersweet tinge to the music!  Although you're quite inconsistent with your enharmonic spellings - sometimes you write F, sometimes E#.  But I do think that you made the right choice to display this in the key of C# minor (which is @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu's favorite key! LoL)  Thanks for sharing!

Hello @piajo,

As Peter mentioned I love the funeral quality in it with that bassline movement and tonic pedal. Like Peter I love the constant change of major and minor which is quite Schubertian and it indeed enhance the tragic color of the music. Also I love about the thick texture of the piece, it definitely enhances the marching quality of it.

That's very true, and you should also add the copyright acknowledgement too!

Yeah I freakingly love C# minor! You can see that from my own sonata lol.

Thx for sharing!

@PeterthePapercomPoser @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Hello, thank you so much for your responses! I completely disregarded copyright and ownership issues, I will do that! I am unaware about how copyright works with music so I'll take a look at that.

Oh right, I wanted to use E# throughout but I must've forgotten to go over those bits, I will do that too!

Thank you very much for your insights! I did not intend to write it as a funeral march, but I see it too now! That is actually somewhat fitting, considering what I've written it based on, so I'm glad you mentioned that!
