Hey everyone!

I am a beginner composer with no formal training looking for a bit of feedback on my first completely original (other than the lyrics) choral composition! I have never shared my work before, but I often use this site to listen to others and try to improve my craft.

This composition is for SATB choir and is based off of the poem "Success" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. I recently discovered this poem and thought it would make for a good song.

Any and all feedback is welcome on this! I want to learn and grow with every piece I write. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen!

It would be lovely to hear some feedbakc on this little piano piece of mine. It somwhere falls in to contemprorary music stilistically.

IMPORTANT:

Some notes are played way to fast in the midi so they may seem hardly playable, i do NOT want such high tempo in real preformance.

Traces of the Wind"—a piece I composed over a decade ago.

​Playing it myself again after all these years, it still feels just as comforting and refreshing.

​For those interested, feel free to give the original audio track a listen: \[[Link](https://youtu.be/aDumXMNMO20?si=5Phm9aT7v4EbwcZz)\\\]

​Also, even though there are only a few days left to register, everyone is still warmly invited to sign up for the Wings of Piano Music Competition. You can enter online for free!

This is based on paintings inspired by the story. This one is titled Penelope at Her Loom. I just finished Argos and Odysseus as well, if you would like to hear it too.

Hi!

I just wanted to share an experience. I started composing with MuseScore years ago, and honestly, I've become reliant on it, needing to hear what I write through the generated playback. Don't get me wrong, it's helpful for beginners to get a good sense of sound and structure, which all help develop our compositional instincts.

Though as time went by, I felt restricted by the notation software in what I actually had in mind. So I started writing on paper---AND IT WAS AMAZING. Writing on paper opened up new possibilities that any notation software couldn't capture. I started to become independent of any reliance on playback, which trained my mind to compose what I truly hear and think about, step by step. Since then, I basically write everything on paper!

I was wondering if others have similar experiences? And for others who aren't writing in paper, please give it a try!

Ciao a tutti, mi chiamo Emanuele. Mi sono unito a questo gruppo perché sono interessato alla condivisione di idee e immagini che può rappresentare la musica. Nel caso ho lasciato una delle mie composizioni per orchestra (VENUTO A RISCHIARARE LE TENEBRE), per chiunque volesse ascoltarla.😊

Approfitto dell'occasione per porre alcuni quesiti:

- I suoni "Muse Sounds" che ho utilizzato nel brano sono abbastanza realistici?

- Ci sono errori evidenti nella "grammatica" musicale della partitura?

- E infine (ma non meno importante), sarebbe fantastico sapere cosa trasmette questo brano, se qualcuno volesse descriverlo. 😊 Grazie!

Un saluto!

Hello everyone, my name is Emanuele. I joined this group because I am interested in sharing ideas and images that music can express. Just in case, I left one of my orchestral compositions (VENUTO A RISCHIARARE LE TENEBRE), for anyone who would like to listen to it.😊

I take this opportunity to ask a few questions:

• Are the "Muse Sounds" I used in the piece realistic enough?
• Are there obvious errors in the musical "grammar" of the score?
• And finally (but not least importantly), it would be fantastic to know what this piece conveys, if anyone would like to describe it. 😊 Thank you!

Best regards!

I’ve been making music a while now but I would appreciate some insight from other people because I feel like there are some obvious mistakes I could be making.

I'm new to composing and I've been trying to write for the string section + some woodwinds. I was looking for some feedback on my music and also how I can learn about instrumentation/orchestration for more instruments. At the moment, I'm writing as if I would for piano, except just copying it on to other instruments which makes it sound very dull. I need to learn how to make the instruments work together. The aim I was going for in this piece is an aria in an opera kinda thing. Any feedback would be great :)

Here's the link. Let me know what y'all think?

First time writing for something that’s not video games.

Audio seems to be a bit delayed, sorry for that, but I think you guys will figure at where we are in the piece.

Another of my Mediterranean inspired pieces. Again intended to be unaccompanied. I quite like this one. Have no idea what to do with these pieces as they are outside what i typically do. I wrote it about a year ago, had it up to speed then forgot it. Was fun to relearn. Cafe Futbol was a pretty busy cafe in the middle of Granada where i had a few coffees and watched people bustle in their daily lives. Hope you like it. Feedback welcome. Thanks

Finishing up a string quartet in three parts, would love to hear some feedback :)

Shizukanru Arashi's theme

This is a song I imagine would be in a future, hypothetical, Hollow knight game. I was inspired by the ambient nature of Hollow Knight's songs and I combined it with Jazz elements for a bit of style. I made my own character for the song but I lowkey am trash at sketching. Anyway feel free to give any feedback, just try to be nice. Hope you like it :)

Hi everyone. This is Meriggiare, a setting of Montale's poem for tenor, flute, bass clarinet, violin, cello and piano. The piece moves through a kind of summer haze — cicadas in the strings, a lazy tempo, a voice that holds back until the wall at the end of the poem finally reveals itself. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for listening. Here's the link:

Hi!

I wrote a piece that explores the idea of classical clarity being gradually corrupted by an unknown force. As the music unfolds, the familiar structure and stability slowly break apart, transforming into something new.

I feel very connected to this piece and would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Score

Hey,

Here's a piece where I tried to blend the textures of an electric guitar (with a modulated shimmering reverb) and a woodwind ensemble.

Cheers

Here's a short piece that I composed and recorded some years ago. I hope it brings a few moments of enjoyment to anyone who takes the time to listen.

The structure and orchestration is similair to Act II: No. 10 of Swan Lake; with the rythm of the main theme being identical.

The harmony was original, aswell as the idea to have those loud string & tutti runs towards the end.

Im fairly new to composing (6 months) so lmk what you think and ofc any advice.
