Voce: 321/400 3rd Place! http://www.box.com/s...bhkrj7dkfpaebb3 http://www.box.com/s...citde62q5smiur5 (Description: My Duet is a brief miniature with a quasi-ceremonial feel, modeled after the style of a religious processional. There are two main elements: a pitch set (B, D, F#, G, A) which comprises the entirety of the pitched material in the piece and is, in part, drawn from the notes used to open the IV. movement of Charles Ives' Second Symphony (a gesture that, in this case, has no intended extramusical connotations), and a brooding battery of unpitched writing that most prominently features a militaristic rhythm in the temple block, presented with an unresolved feel in prime and retrograde forms and finally resolved through the addition of a final downbeat at the end of the movement. The piece can be seen generally as an exercise in restraint and austerity (the rather extreme limitations placed on pitch material and timbral variation demonstrate this), and should be interpreted in a way that emphasizes its mournful, ritualistic character.) ___________________________________ Please GRADE on this scale: x/40 Musical content/structure: (does it develop? does it make sense? etc) x/25 Use of percussion instrumentation: (multiple instruments? creativity? extended techniques?) x/20 Playability: (can it be performed? do changes between percussion instruments make sense?) ---------- If the judges hae questions about this, contact me with SPECIFIC questions. x/15 Technique: (who can play it? are both parts equal in skill level?) ALSO: Doc a maximum of 10 points for score neatness. Do not add any for score neatness. :) This is to your own discretion. JUDGES: PM me with ALL ten scores by February 1st 00:00 EST. If you do not give me the scores by then, your judging will be null and void, your scores will not be accepted, and you will be respectfully not asked to judge again in any YC competition. If, for some reason, you do not think you can judge all ten by the deadline, contact me individually in the NEXT TWO DAYS (by the END of Friday, so more like ONE day) so I can quickly find a replacement judge from my friends here at school. haha. You will be excused if you do this and not subject to the Judging Blacklist. ALSO. You may choose to write a "paragraph" about each piece, if you so choose. I encourage you to do so. These WILL BE POSTED PUBLICALLY so all can learn from criticism. This is an educational experience. IF a composer does NOT wish to share his or her written criticism, please PM me. I will make sure it is taken care of. THANK YOU, Morivou.
