Tyrant Incomplete

Hey everyone, just wanted to show what my next project will be after I'm done with my symphony. Criticism welcome so long as it's constructive!

Hi @WowBroThatWasReallyEdgy - long time no see!

This sounds like a great operatic introduction - reminds me a little of Verdi in style (not in content).  Towards the end of this file you have what appears to be the beginning of the main theme - it's sounding very good!  Are you looking for advice as to how to continue or just giving us a sneak peek?  It's very dramatic and dynamic!  I think it shouldn't be hard to come up with the exposition of the main theme using some of the material from the introduction but making it somehow more unified and expository.  Less interrupted by dramatic pauses and hocket-like rhythmic treatment of the material and not passing the material between different instruments but presenting the listener with a clear theme for them to latch onto.  Thanks for sharing!  Really stoked for how you continue this!

Hey @PeterthePapercomPoser, I've been working so much on my symphony. Revising the first movement and working on the 4th movement - the 4th movement is nearly 20 minutes long now and I promise it will not disappoint. It's just that I'm almost done with a 40-minute symphony and want the ending to be magnificent, so I've been helping others with their compositions while studying scores in the mean time.

Thanks for your feed back! I always appreciate your comments.

Thank you and yes, this is the beginning of the first "true" theme. I'm not entirely sure where to go with it, but I know I want to contrast the introduction's maniacal nature.

It was intended to be a sneak peak, but I will always accept advice and criticism so long as you have as much interest in my work as I do. I figured I should let you guys know I haven't forgot about you all and that I'm still alive and working lol
I want to evoke the characteristic evil of an anti-hero in this piece which means I'm going guns blazing through the introduction because I also want the piece to sound cool. Also, The attention span of people as a whole is pretty small, so I'm going for music that is more marketable and relatable for things like Instagram reels and YouTube shorts. The objective of the piece is to rarely lose the attention of someone who doesn't know a thing about music appreciation, theory, or musicianship. 
I can 100% guarantee that there will be clear themes after this introduction. 

Thanks again for your time and response!
 

bro where you been 

I never know what to say for incomplete works, but I'm glad you gave us a taste of what's to come. I get theatrical haunting vibes, like Mahler meets Berlioz or something. I like the idea at the end. That theme reminded me of the Coriolan overture for some reason. I guess I like short rhythmic exciting themes lol. Very cool stuff, it sounds like it's going to be dramatic! 😄

Liszt is my big inspiration for this piece in particular, but I love Berlioz and Mahler as well.
