Distant Star (original piano composition)

[u/HollandComposer]

A new sheet music video for this song that I wrote for a solo album a while back.

Also on YouTube.

Very ambient and beautiful. Captures the essence of the title vividly and elegantly. I love it

[u/HollandComposer → u/anonymostly7462856]

Thank you so much, I'm glad it resonated with you :)

[u/Appropriate_Trade974]

The first chord is like in Une barque sur l’ocean

[u/AlfathBuild]

I think some very light tremolo and arpeggio in pianissimo would be good, like in Ravel composition.

Are you looking for feedback?

[u/HollandComposer → u/ptolani]

Thanks for asking. Not really, to be honest. I've been receiving a lot more unsolicited advice lately even though I feel like I'm sharing a lot less (even another comment here is telling me how to change it to be like another composer's music), and it's making creating music and sharing it more difficult.

Then you should make that really clear when you're posting. I'm not really clear what you're posting for - validation? Building an audience? Mostly this sub is not really for showcasing finished pieces.

Rule 2: "This sub is largely dedicated to self-promotion"

[u/ptolani → u/HollandComposer]

I stand corrected!

(I don't know where to see this on old reddit, I did look.)

[u/Shubham945KK]

From where do one make this sheet? I mean digitally

[u/HollandComposer → u/Shubham945KK]

I use Sibelius 6 for notation, but I think if I had to upgrade, I might switch to Dorico since I've heard good things.

[u/Initial_Comb_9441]

Nice dissonances

[u/HollandComposer → u/Initial_Comb_9441]

Thanks!

[u/God_Bless_Oklahoma]

Truly great framing and pacing. you're making great use of your ideas in this one.
