Thank you to everyone who gave me feedback - this is the final piece! Program Notes: "Beauty for Ashes" draws inspiration from Isaiah 61:3: "To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified." This piece reflects the contrast between sadness and joy, crafted through Louis's signature blend of traditional and modern harmony; inspired by jazz harmony and film scores. The main motif, a 5-measure phrase, ascends with leaps and scalar motion, symbolizing the climb towards joy and redemption. Secondary material navigates unexpected harmonic terrain, briefly shifting to evoke turmoil before returning to the main theme, restored and renewed. Louis uses modern harmony, secondary dominants, and modal mixture, creating a nuanced emotional landscape in which sorrow's depth and hope's radiance intertwine. The piece culminates in a triumphant, cinematic chorale finale, symbolizing hope and victory. Sweeping dynamics converge with moving harmony lines, resolving to a radiant major 7th chord, evoking flourishing "trees of righteousness" – roots deepened by sorrow, branches stretching toward light. Duration: 5:22 Instrumentation: 1 Flute, 1 Bb Clarinet, 2 Violins,1 Viola, 1 Cello

Just yesterday I sat at the piano for hours trying to figure out a simple riff or a motive that feels unique/different. I finally decided on a basic G Major phrase that would repeat itself or "stand out" in my 15th Concerto classical composition. The finish is a little bit of a reach out however it seems to achieve solid closure and resolve the composition. -
Hi again, ladies and gentlemen! Hope you've been alright. Since there's been some activity increase (at least from my perception) and very interesting posts lately (like this, this and this...Ah and this) I decided to upload yet another piece. A piece per two weeks seems more or less alright to me. In this case I'm bringing here a kinda old work (March 2020) that, if you happened to listen to my 5th nocturne for piano solo, resembles it in its main motive. This piece is for woodwinds and piano and its sound has lots of room for improvement, but this is what I had at that time (and considering I'm using the very same software, probably the only things that have improved are my ears and the piano soundfont). As you may already know, I don't usually like to extend myself in unneeded descriptions so I'm leaving you the .pdf and the .mp3 here. ♫ MP3: (if you don't see anything, it's probably a bug. In that case check scroll down to the bottom of this message) ♫ PDF: 32 - Sollozos.pdf And that'd be all for now. Hope you find it decent and enjoyable enough. My recommendation would be listening to it with headphones (for this and every piece of mine) and as always, any kind of feedback, criticism, opinion, be it longer or shorter, is and will be always very welcome. Look at this image. It has nothing to do with anything but I wanted to put it here, hope you don't mind. Kind regards, Daniel–Ømicrón.

Here is my new piece, a Piano Chamberto (Chamber concerto), for Piano, Oboe, Clarinet, Horn and Bassoon. This has been a long project, my most ambitious piece to-date in terms of complexity - I'm really glad to have finished it at last! 🙂 The goal was to use a format similar to Classical-era Piano concertos, but with a reduced set of instruments. Please let me know what you think! Dan

Hello! I just would like to have some feedback on this track I wrote. I wanted to represent a typical traffic jam situation in a very big city. The piece is written for a large woodwind ensemble, piano and percussions.

This song is about imagining a witch dance. I planned to sing a song, but I decided to make it with a woodwind instrument.

This music was made by watching natural documentary music. I hope you enjoy listening to me. ^ _ ^

I thought you guys might be interested in my new series! I'm creating 2-3 minute videos about writing for every member of the woodwind family. I also am more than happy to answer any questions that are posted on the video. If you're interested, here's the playlist:

I am trying to compose something for a orchestra with a lot of wind instruments, wood and brass, and I am not sure if they can actually continuously play, in example, an arpeggio for minutes or something like that, without rests. How long can they play? What are the rules? Or what do you recommend? Thank you.
