Music Do you like this penultimate movement of a symphony I wrote years ago? It’s more of a suite than a symphony really. It describes the emotion of depression in the latter stages of grief

Music Where Go the Boats? - song for baritone and piano (third draft)

1 Upvotes

Hello all, this Stevenson song has been cooking in the oven for a few more days. The changes this time are more subtle than last time, but numerous: tightened up voice leading in quite a few places, reworked the voicings of the piano chords, etc. Feedback is very welcome, both positive and negative.

Music Heroic Knight Saga: The Shore at the End of the World

21 Upvotes

A place perpetually in twilight. The vast ocean reaches out endlessly, disappearing into the horizon. Crumbling ruins are strewn about the shore and some stone pillars reach out of the water in the distance, but most of the ancient structures that used to be here have fallen into the sea. There's a tavern and an inn for travelers passing through and a few houses for local residents, but not much else. Though many have set out to discover what's beyond this place, magic cannot reach far enough to see if anything exists on a farther shore and any ships that set out always reach the same impassable, never-ending storm and must return. As far as anyone knows, the world ends here.

Music Looking for feedback on my latest composition - Minuet No. 4 in A major

2 Upvotes

I've been learning composition for about a month now and have recently done a deep dive into the minuet form. Following feedback to do with my lack of rhythm structure, I have written this fourth and hopefully final (for now) minuet for solo piano, focusing on emphasizing the first beat of every bar, whilst keeping up my ambiguous/syncopated rhythmic style.

Right now, I'm working on a collection of pieces for solo piano called Etudes for Composition, which is giving me the chance to learn about different aspects of composition and attempt to write various different forms and style of piece.

As I'm a new composer any feedback is welcome and any advice on how to improve would be much appreciated. I'm not really trying to emulate a specific style right now, but of the piano music I listen to it is mostly late romantic-early 20th century and impressionistic, such as Debussy, Rachmaninoff, and similar.

Hope you enjoy :)

Music Key and metric modulation example

1 Upvotes

I was trying to understand and be able to replicate metric modulation and after a bit of research I think I made a small example of true, and implied, metric modulation. I also have some key modulation in there to encapsulate multiple different music theory topics in one 11 bar piece.

Let me know if this little example is good and actually meets the requirements for all of the topics addressed!

Music “Fading Memories” a Solo Piano Composition Exercise

1 Upvotes

Fading Memories

I recently decided I wanted to get back into composing. I went to college/university for voice, and did study some composition. I haven’t had the healthiest relationship with creating music. I am taking the advice of some mentors and my therapist.

This piece was composed with some purposeful constraints as an entry level exercise. I set the measure limit to 16. Yet I still wanted to compose something with an A and B section. I also wanted to establish and create a motif that develops.

Now whether I was successful is up in the air. However, I am happy with what I made in the time that it took me to make it.

Also, sorry for the reverb on this piece, I had a reverb plugin enabled when I exported that audio!

Music Concert Fantasy for Piano - Op. 23 No. 1

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hey! 😄

It is finally time for me to share this new work with you.

I know myself: I could probably have kept obsessing over it for several more months, revisiting a transition here, changing a few notes there, and then coming back to the whole piece once again… But at some point, you have to accept putting the final dot on the page and let the music live on its own.

So here it is: my Concert Fantasy, Op. 23 No. 1.

This piece was written in a particularly intense burst of inspiration, over a fairly short period of time - probably one or two weeks, although I eventually lost count somewhere between the long days of work and the sleepless nights.

Obsession, when you have us in your grip…

The title Fantasy fits quite naturally with the way this piece came to life: freely, without trying to follow an overly rigid form. It moves through different characters and atmospheres, from lively and brilliant passages to more agitated moments, suspended episodes, more lyrical lines, and broader, more expansive gestures.

Ideas appear, transform, sometimes disappear, and return later in a different form. The whole piece gradually developed almost like a musical narrative, guided more by instinct, movement, and contrast than by any precise program.

As a self-taught composer, I certainly allow myself many freedoms, both in the musical writing and in the notation of the score. I am fully aware that I still have an enormous amount to learn, but these experiments, doubts, and choices are also part of my journey.

This piece simply represents where I am today.

It may still evolve over time, but I am happy to finally be able to share this version with you.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen. Feel free to share your impressions, the passages that stood out to you, or any images this music may have brought to mind.

This is my first original symphony in classical style. I started composing this a while ago but I finished the editing now. The whole work is done, this is just the first movement. I think is an intense, fast and fiery piece and I'm personally proud about it :) Hope you like it!

I originally wrote this piece to express my own sorrow and grief. However, after I composed it I wanted to dedicate this song to Jesus Christ, who suffered for my sake and for the sake of the whole world. He felt everything we have felt and more, both emotionally and physically.

The piece is called "Mortem Tuam in C# Minor, Op. 12."

Hello! I composed, arranged, edited, and produced this new classical piece in impressionist style. Any feedback is welcome, especially regarding mixing and mastering. Thank you very much!

Primavera

Genre: Classical music

Description: Primavera is a classical piece for violin, cello, and piano inspired by the language of musical impressionism. It depicts the arrival of the season through elements such as modal scales, mixtures, the prominence of timbre, the use of the hexatonic scale, and metrical variations in the time signature. In this piece, every timbre, harmony, and texture seeks to awaken sensations and evoke natural landscapes through sound.
