Henry's Casting - "Will I be a great composer" ?

Greetings!  I am back with yet another Muzoracle casting - this time of our very own @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu!!!  (Muzoracle is a storytelling/divination tool similar to the Tarot card deck, but with cards with musical concepts and 12-sided Musician's dice and Solfege dice.)  This time, Henry asked the Muzoracle "Will I become a great composer":

My interpretation of the cards and dice are displayed below.  This time I used brass and voices since the Major 7th card at left is in the suit of brass and the Perfect 4th card, underneath the Style card is in the suit of voices.  If you'd like to find out more about Muzoracle and how castings are interpreted go here:  https://muzoracle.com/

These interpretations I'm making seem to be getting more and more elaborate, while the musical pieces they yield seem to be getting shorter and shorter! 🤣  This piece is only a few seconds long but it is an accurate aural representation of the casting which is the main purpose of the music.  But, if you have any suggestions for how I can extend these pieces while still staying true to the casting please let me know!  This time the black Musician's die landed on Gb and the casting is descending, which means that the diatonic solfege dice that land on their respective degrees will descend to the next degree, while the chromatic solfege dice will ascend up to the next degree.  So, the dice landed on Re (Ab), Me (Bbb), Do (Gb), So (Db), and Mi (Bb).  These are the tones used in the composition.  The direction of the melody is shown by the arrows on each page, and they also lead the reader from the preceding to the concluding statements in the casting.  I just tried to find a way to symbolize the variety of different brasses playing at different times coming together at the end because of the orchestration card.  And I added the voices since there's a voices card and accelerated to the climax since there's an accelerando card.  Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy listening to this short musical idea/aural representation of Henry's casting!  Any comments are welcome.

So I listened to the piece

and the answer is what... no?

Yo Peter,

Thx for doing this for me!

On the music I have the same thought as Vince…. WILL I JUST FAIL TO BE A GRRRRRRRRRREAT COMPOSERRRRRRRRR!!!

Just kidding LoL! I find some of the casting quite interesting and maybe applicable to all of us as composers!

”You will experience a great inertia. You will be called to decide how to fill it. You may experience restlessness.”

I think every composers or artists s experience the same thing right? Like they can’t stop their Muse bashing brains with loads of ideas and can only write them out!

For the major 6th one (I’m lazy enough to type out the sentences LoL) I think every new pieces mark my growth and a new beginning!

I hope I reach the status of the perfect 4th when I do have my own style! I think it’s everyone’s goal right?

For the minor third one, I am always SERIOUS on my music to the point of boring music LoL! I do ‘t like self-pity since it’s uselessly illusionary.

I think you can just use them as main motives of a piece? Or use them as the tonic keys of different sections while retaining the programmatic reference?

Looks like our Peter is becoming the PeterthePsychic here LoL….

Thx for the piece and casting Peter!
