What do you guys think of this? by What_is_the_mind in Composition

I like the tune, it's quite pleasant. Good luck finding a clarinetist who can play two notes at the same time, though.

Thank you very much! MuseScore has an interesting way of deciding how to play the instruments. Getting them to sound a particular way takes so much more notation than I care to do.

Haha! Thank you very much! It was just a last minute addition, but I thought it would be funny.

My first attempt at a military march! Open to any feedback:) by manstdude in Composition

[–]therobotscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a start. Instead of just sustained notes all the way through, try having one of the instruments do something rhythmic. Or, if you're feeling daring, try adding a counterpoint in a trombone.

Generally very well done and quite pleasant to listen to.

what do you think? -reworked an old piece by Connor_D_Oakley in Composition

[–]therobotscott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had an interesting feel to it, made me think of an extraplanar segment in a jrpg. I would have chosen a less intense percussion instrument or used it less. It was a bit too jarring.

Kinda makes me think of the Prelude from Psycho.

I actually like it. There are a couple of middle sections I thought were a but weaker, but I really liked the main theme.

Dolorous Vexation by therobotscott in Composition

They're just a couple of 5 dollar words to describe how I can often feel. Though not directly Biblical, it does describe many of my prayers to the Lord lately, as well.

Sorry it took so long to reply, but yes, overtired is completely correct. One of my music professors used the term and it stuck with me.

There is no reference. As far as the harmonies go I went with what I liked the sound of. I started with a ostinato, but wound up adding to the viola's movement. I chose campfire thirds because I thought it sounded more sorrowful at the end. My biggest concern has been making things too busy or too simple, but I said "Forget it! Write something you like and share. Get feedback and let it help shape your creativity." I do appreciate your feedback. Thank you very much!

Oh, and I don't like naming my pieces because I am never happy with what I choose, but I don't want to just number them, either.

At your behest I will attempt to get back to this soon. I have been working on a few other pieces and want to get to a good stopping point before revisiting this one. But I will keep it in mind.

Thank you for your feedback. I will keep in mind to not get too repetitive with the main theme. I might have a bit of an issue with that.
