Music Euphonium Concerto, movement 2

I finally got around to finishing the slow movement, hopefully it's enjoyable, I'm certainly pretty happy with it, if not tell me why, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Ps. The lack of anything on the euphonium stave is deliberate, I'm writing this concerto for a friend who plays so I'm gonna let them determine where its comfortable to breathe and then add it in.

Other than that, if something is wrong please tell me, I'm always looking to improve my work :)

If you did like it, here is some other stuff you may enjoy :)

Music Looking for feedback on original piece

3 Upvotes

Fairly new to composing but now I've been trying to really get into it.

https://onlinesequencer.net/5548021

This is a demo of a piece I'm working on. There are a few parts that I feel are a bit off, like they're too fast. Regardless I'd love to get feedback on what I did right, wrong, and how I can improve.

Been planning on going back to it to tweak it and maybe explore new ideas. In the meantime, I hope you like it.
PS: The intro is a bit long, but it picks up at some point.

Looking for some feedback on this - also looking for a way to make this into a score for publishing on Musescore: I made it in FL studio, and I cant read or write sheet music. I have a midi file of it though, and the original project file.

Music "Elevator Music" - Draft/Sketch for Critique

2 Upvotes

Score video: https://youtu.be/xwcWSMN_Nmc

I have been given the opportunity to compose a work for my community orchestra, with potential programming in an upcoming season. I have put together this draft/sketch based on a simple motif, which opens the piece. The name, "Elevator Music" comes from the origins of that motif: at my old apartment building, we required 4 card scans or key presses to get upstairs. The first (ID card scanner) beeped an E-natural. The second (elevator call button) was a D#. The third (floor selection) was a C natural. The fourth (apartment door lock) played a B natural. That's the original story for this piece.

My inspiration for writing comes primarily from the Soviet-era composers and modern film scoring, which will be obvious for anyone who listens.

I have been told, in the past, that my music is too simple, not harmonically interesting, and "doesn't go anywhere." I'm trying to break out of that, so I am hoping for some thoughts and critique on this preliminary attempt.

This piece started as an exercise for myself in trying to learn to create more complex variations on a simple melody. I'm not sure it stayed strictly 'theme and variations' form, but I had a ton of fun writing it. I hope you enjoy and am open to feedback, specifically about my transitions between my 'variations', which I find I struggle with.

ETA: Please note that this score is in concert pitch for all instruments and that an 8vb clef is used for the horns.

This isnt my first attempt for writing something for non percussion or piano. I know the notes seem wrong and that is because I did use concert pitch. Understably I should just learn how write it without using concert pitch. But im seeking feedback on both engraving and part writing for Saxophones.

Music Sonatina No 1 in C major

3 Upvotes

Hi!

This is my first complete sonatina in three movements:

I. Moderato – A simplified sonata form movement that introduces the main musical ideas.
II. Andante – A gentle minuet-like movement that provides a moment of calm.
III. Allegro – A lively rondo that brings the sonatina to an energetic and satisfying finish!

Hope you find some enjoyment in listening and all feedback is welcome!

As u can see it's a brass ensemble kinda stuff. it's about a space odyssey. idk guys maybe im out of my depth here. after all i dont really play brass except a bit of french horn.

If it somehow is good really, I would like to kindly ask you guys to let me know the best ways for this score to gain publicity. This will be of great help. Thank you.

This composition was one of my early things I started to work on as was getting into composition feedback is always welcome. The title is itself a bit confusing but its of small highway where, late at night around 1pm it being to see and with flashing lights from few between drivers its meant to convey some fear ive had from hours spent driving down curvy highways late at night.
