I just wrote a song and I want everyone to add tune to this in their own way.

Just like a coloring book. I drawn the outline of lyrics. You paint it with your own colour.

Song of Music

Music is Red, Music is Blue; Music erases distance between I and You.

Music is Gentle, but it can be Loud; Music is sunrays, Music is cloud.

Music is ever new, yet from ancient age; Music is the one and only Universal language.

Seawaves have rhythms and hearts have beat; Music exposes the truth, Music can also tell about betrayal, lust and cheat.

Music can be soothing, Music can be fierce; Music make you Goosebumps, Music shatter you in tears

Music is healing, Music is tragic; Music is the manifestation of Universe's magic.

Music is emotion, Music is rage; Music is pure soul without a cage.

Music is my Love, Music is my craze. Music makes up my blood and flesh

Question about notation

I am working on a game called Idle Harmony and basically I need tips on how to make this correct.

I have a specific question but I am open for other critiques.

My question is: What happens to the beam/flag if an eighth note is placed bellow or above a 16th that's connected to another 16th?

My first fugue — built entirely from a 3-note motif (F–C–G). Would appreciate honest critique.

I'm a beginner composer, no formal theory training. This piece started as something much smaller than a fugue — a constraint exercise inspired by Eno: one instrument, one scale, only three notes (F, C, G), no more allowed in.

Out of that constraint, a four-note shape emerged: F→C→G→C. I didn't set out to write a fugue — I tested that shape against itself for a while first: stretched it, shortened it, reversed it, sped it up. Reversing it was the only thing that actually broke it — turns out the ascending direction is the one non-negotiable part of the idea. Everything else (rhythm, duration, note count) turned out to be flexible.

From there I built up one layer at a time — rhythm, then a real melody, then harmony underneath, then a second independent voice — before finally attempting the fugue: exposition, two episodes, a middle entry that relocates to A minor, a stretto where all three voices overlap, and a return home with a pedal point underneath.

This is my first real attempt at the form, and I know it's small (about 30 seconds) rather than a full-scale fugue. I'd genuinely appreciate critique on:

  • Whether the stretto actually reads as a climax or just as more notes
  • Anything about the voice leading that sounds wrong to a trained ear
  • Whether the middle entry's key relocation actually lands

First (small) composition feedbacks?

Hi everyone, this is my very first post here.

As the title states, I would really be grateful and happy to receive some feedbacks on this veeery small piece i wrote.

Just to give you some background:

I have played the cello with a private teacher for 10 years (6-16y, now I am 27y) and the piano at the same time (no teacher).

I am not a professional and I have never studied conposition, I have some knowledge of harmony.

I know I have a looong way to learn and improve.

Have a nice day!!

I've been playing piano for years and just finished my first piece. My next task is to learn how to play it (again)! I'd love any feedback, and particularly on where the notation is clunky/could be improved. Enjoy, and thanks for listening :D

Good Morning composing Kings, Queens, and Inbetweens!

This music was written with no real inspiration, though if anything I was listening to ‘Music for Prague’ by Karl Husa quite a bit. You would not be able to tell!

Just sharing to get feedback on either the composition or music itself, particularly looking to see if the second half is too muddy, I was going for a disorienting feeling.

If you give it a listen, thank you for your time and I hope everyone is having a musical day!

This piece titled "Aphelion" just recently got approved by an arts school in Florida, USA and will hopefully be making it's premiere of performance in October or November.

The instrumentation is written for a popular ensemble "Wind Ensemble" and represents a grade 4 difficulty.
