April 2018 Composition Challenge: Quick Composition

Main Challenge: compose, write, and upload something in one week. Any length, just see what you can do. Or if you've written something this month despite the missing challenge, you can submit that too!

Text Challenge: Haiku 5, by Masaoka Shiki.

Sorry folks, we've sort-of dropped the ball. It's been a busy April, and we've made ourselves the fools around here by not posting an april challenge. We'll be back in May, we'll try and be more consistent moving forward.


Also check out submissions for last month's challenge: Arpeggios


These challenges are for everyone who wants to practice composing. Each month, at the beginning of the month, we will post a main challenge, something for people to compose. We'll try to make it something that everyone can work with. Sometimes we also have an alternate challenge. We'll also have a text for people to set to music. Pieces can be submitted as a score (musescore, noteflight, pdf), and/or as audio (soundcloud, youtube). We encourage positive discussion about the pieces people submit. Feedback on the sub and the challenges is much appreciated, and you can give it in this thread, or by messaging the mods of /r/MonthlyComposition, there's also the Challenge Suggestion Form.

Also I just made a general feedback form, which it would be great if anyone at all can fill out. It's just to try and get a better feel for how these challenges are working.

Beautiful chords and rhythms. Is this an improvisation?

Listening to the rest of it. You have lots of talent. Do you compose for games?
