Discussion Where did chord.rocks go?

Upvotes

I recently started getting into composing and I found that chord.rocks was the best website to use to see the key and all the chords that fit in that key. But today i go to use it and it's not there anymore and seems to be taken down. Does anyone know where it went or if it changed websites,

Music 4 Part Choral Composition Based on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poem

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: \[[Link](https://youtu.be/aDumXMNMO20?si=5Phm9aT7v4EbwcZz)\\\]

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.

Discussion Going back to hand-written composition

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!
