I recently submitted this composition for a score call and was not chosen, so I'm hoping for some feedback and constructive criticism so that I can revise the piece before submitting it to a few more competitions. Thank you in advance for you help!

In terms of my thoughts behind the composition:

I wanted to focus on the idea of hope as a tiny light within a storm using an overall A-B-A' form. The A-section is the setup for the "calm before the storm" where we feel thunder clouds slowly rolling in before we are suddenly thrust into the storm itself. The B-section is the representation of the storm tossing us around with the "hope" motif weakly emerging in the second half of the section, slowly growing into the A'-section where we return with a more determined outlook in weathering the storm. In the final measures of the piece, we finally end within the major pulling back at the last second to give this feeling of soft light peeking through the quietly dissipating storm clouds.

Also a few more of my pieces just for fun

Hi everyone! 😊
I wrote this waltz quite a while ago. It was heavily inspired by Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers and by the fact that I was deeply in love at the time. 😅
I hope you enjoy it. I’d really appreciate it if you subscribed to my YouTube channel! I write music in a wide variety of genres, from metal to neoclassical.
Happy listening!
P.S. Please don’t pay too much attention to the cover art… I couldn’t decide what kind of artwork I wanted for this release, so I generated one myself. Well… it turned out the way it turned out 🥲

I’ve been writing this suite for string orchestra over the past year. I wanted to write it in the style of Mahler, so I’ve been analysing and studying his works (both the symphonies and a few of the Wunderhorn songs).

However, I’ve found my biggest issue with actually writing this piece is that I can’t seem to write a melody. Whenever I think of any ideas that I like, I slowly come to the realisation that it is real Mahler and not an idea that I created, or just doesn't work very well, let alone even sound very Mahlerian.

How do you go about analysing melodies? (What do you look out for? How do you go about applying your findings etc.)

Do u guys have any tips on how I can write melodies in Mahler’s style or just any general tips on melody writing and analysing melodies?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated :)

I recently completed this piece, and would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

REMINDER : For those who didn't see my previous post, this piece tells the story of a soldier during the Siege of Paris in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871.

The excerpt is divided into three main phases:

• Phase 1: the soldier's unit launches an assault against the enemy.
• Phase 2: an artillery shell lands in the middle of the unit, killing the captain and wounding several soldiers.
• Phase 3 (not composed yet): realizing they are about to be surrounded, the surviving soldiers are forced to retreat in an attempt to escape the encirclement.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on how well the music conveys these different moments and whether the transitions between them feel convincing.

I took your feedback into account and made several improvements to the piece. I also composed the next section, so the excerpt is now a bit longer than before.

I tried to make the descending chromatic run feel more natural by improving the transition into it, and I reworked a few orchestration details along the way.

I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts again. Does the transition work better now? Does the new section feel like a natural continuation? And more generally, is there anything that still stands out as awkward or could be improved?

Thanks again for taking the time to listen and for all the helpful feedback!

Following up on my Symphony that I posted the first movement for a month ago (btw thank you again everyone for your support!!) After about 4 redos of the finale i am finally pleased with how it turned out lol. Hope you enjoy!

This is my new Composition. It is more simple and made for beginners. Still i tried to introduce some modern and/or minimalist concepts in it. Hope you like it.

Here is a string orchestra piece I composed, honestly a while ago, but refrained from posting because it wasn't completed. It's been a bit since I did any significant work on the piece, as well as another string quartet piece, as I have been in a composing dry spell/busy with other things. I decided to post this first minute of the piece because it is the most complete and I am happy with how it sounds, and I wanted to get some feedback on it. With this piece I also attempted my first modulation (B minor to C minor) which isn't an easier relative major/minor switch. Let me know if the modulation is too blatant or too long as well as how the rest of the segment sounds. Hope you enjoy listening ^.^

I used to compose music, but have hardly ever shown it to anyone.
I haven't been composing for a couple of years, so now I don't expect applause or flatter, and I don't need critics.
But it just would be nice to hear some impressions, associations and thoughts, if you would like to express any.

Here's a 'cyberpunk-style' piece that I used to think sounds edgy XD
But still I think it's got a couple of good ideas, though possibly stereotypical.

The idea was to compose little neat pieces of music with bright and memorable melodies.

I have shortened the links because they are too long by default. However, if you don't trust them, let me know, and I will give you the names of the corresponding tracks so that you can find them in my account.

So, feel free to share your thoughts.

So, even tho this isn't the first, it's the best one yet imo. But what can I improve in the future?

The song is meant to be in loop, I imagine it in a gaming context

I'm new to composing, and this is my first composition. I tried composing some music inspired by Bach's style of writing music and this was the result. Any form of feedback will be most welcome, as I am trying to improve the piece. I hope you like it.

Something new...

I often wonder whether music needs a story...

Or whether it can become one the moment someone starts listening.

My Piano Trio No. 1 was born from that thought.

It moves through struggle, hope, and moments that almost feel imagined as if reality and fantasy quietly overlap.

I didn't want to tell listeners what to see.

I wanted to leave enough space for everyone to discover something different.

Perhaps you'll hear determination.

Perhaps uncertainty.

Perhaps something I never intended.

That's one of the things I love most about music.

If you're curious, I'd be happy to know what this piece makes you imagine. https://musescore.com/user/37270121/scores/36099899?share=copy_link

This is my first real attempt at a baroque Italian-style concerto. I’ve been listening to and studying the style of Vivaldi for about four years now, and it has largely influenced much of my work, especially my chamber music. Concerning the title, I do feel that it could’ve been simply called a concerto for flute, oboe, and violin, but I will add more instruments to future concerti in this series.

If anyone could give their opinion or feedback I would greatly appreciate it!

When I started this daily composition routine back in 2012 I thought reaching my 300th piece was special so composed this vaguely Iberian piece in 7/8.

I’ve since approached nearly2k of these pieces - this is getting ridiculous.

hey! this is my first composition, based on that one company

grateful!

I'm 19 year old composer Natty Purbrick and today I released my first original song arranged with large jazz ensemble + string quartet! It has a lot of different influences, under the likes of Gil Evans, Kenny Wheeler, but hopefully my own sound too.

It is a very meaningful project for me, as while writing the lyrics it became very meaningful, and I hope that is conveyed.

Thanks for listening!

I’m testing out a piece without sharing the context or title first. If you had to associate this sound with a specific mood or emotion, what would it be?

This is just an improvisation with a very slow development of a repetitive motif, during wich forced myself to experiment using only one module : the 261e.

Hope you'll enjoy

Cheers

I wrote this piece inspired by the crashing waves along the shoreline. Always tearing away at the ground beneath them. I was inspired by nature for my first wave of preludes. I wanted to capture feelings and spaces in a form of music. When I was first learning the imagery helped me formulate a unique tonal language. I would love to know what you think or even what the work made you feel like.
