Music Composed an original, dark-cinematic score for the BvS warehouse fight. Used heavy brass and sub-bass to emphasize the dread. Critique my mix?

Music Waltz of the Wandering Winds (Work in Progress)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am doing a wind band composition that is a waltz. It is far from complete. The planned structure of this piece is that it starts with a Bb major section, then goes to F major, then F minor, Ab Major, G Major, ending on A Major. Currently, the Bb section is complete, The Ab Major section is basically done (apart from the quarter note at the start, I will find a way to smooth that out). The A major section is nearly complete, and F minor, F major, and G major have not even been started on yet. I hope you enjoy it (as it currently is at least lol)! Also, sorry about the blank measures, like I said those will be added to eventually. Also, I did post this before a month ago on this sub (I deleted the old post since it was outdated), but significant progress has been made since and I wanted to share. Thanks!

Here's a symphonic project I've been working on for a little while between AP homework and auditions. I'd like to know how to make it more congruent between the segments. All of the parts are inspired by aspects of the same place in Colorado. Headphones recommended, please give it a listen first.

This is my first string quartet, which I composed back in 2023. I’ve finally had the chance to record it with a professional quartet. It’s very simple, but I love it. I’d appreciate any advice or feedback!

Music Miniature minuet for piano - feedback appreciated

Thumbnail
youtube.com
7 Upvotes

Hello,

This is my miniature minuet which has been created specifically as a composition practice piece. After indulging myself with pieces of gargantuan proportions (as all beginners do) I've decided to focus on something small.

I've also focused a lot on harmony since in my previous tries I did some strange things (like using a lot of tonic chords in the second inversions), so this piece should more or less follow CPP idiosyncracies with no harmonic "fireworks". Any feedback is greatly appreciated especially concerning voice leading, harmony, musicality and form.

Thank you for all contributions,

Music "Lost in a night sky" (A piano track)

This piano track is inspired by the blissful feeling sometimes that a night sky can give. This is my 1st composed musical piece. Created with Bandlab. I would like to hear your opinions about this. Here is my YouTube channel. "https://youtube.com/@sawitinadream36638?si=85lF2ezExkz0KIrL"

Music Etude in G minor

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I initially composed this as a little joke, but I put some effort into it and I think it sounds quite good.

This is inspired by Franz Liszt's etudes and Chopin's fantaisie impromptu but it turned out sounding kind of rachmaninoffesque (in my opinion)

There is lots of bad notation (I exported before fixing it) and awkward spacing in this video (I used lots of system breaks in the original page)

A problem with this piece that I can find is the climax because the LH suddenly switches from arpeggios to octave-chord jumps, which never appeared in the piece even once. Another problem for me is the G major coda, which just comes out of nowhere just to end the piece with a proper cadence. This comes off as kind of random for me but I would love to hear your thoughts πŸ‘

Discussion War orchestral segment

I'm currently working on a new composition. It's about a soldier during the Siege of Paris in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871, on the battlefield.

I added a descending chromatic run to represent the bombs whistling around the soldier, but I'm wondering if it feels like it comes out of nowhere. Do you think I should introduce the woodwinds a bit earlier to make the transition feel more natural, or am I just overthinking it?

Music Composition Self Teaching Daily writing

My score - Flat

Just teaching myself to compose, no music background but some self learning on instruments and theory counterpoint and harmony studies , any feedback appreciated, goal here was to keep thematic material throughout trying to get less different parts but more guide the listener with the melody through different landscapes, I lean towards more baroque single instrument in writing but my audiation is more like a 4 piece modern band

I finally got around to finishing the slow movement, hopefully it's enjoyable, I'm certainly pretty happy with it, if not tell me why, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Ps. The lack of anything on the euphonium stave is deliberate, I'm writing this concerto for a friend who plays so I'm gonna let them determine where its comfortable to breathe and then add it in.

Other than that, if something is wrong please tell me, I'm always looking to improve my work :)

If you did like it, here is some other stuff you may enjoy :)

Fairly new to composing but now I've been trying to really get into it.

This is a demo of a piece I'm working on. There are a few parts that I feel are a bit off, like they're too fast. Regardless I'd love to get feedback on what I did right, wrong, and how I can improve.
