Elevation
(25K5), GM - May 05 |
003 |
Composed
using Merlin soundfont 2.1 and Sonar 1.31.
Here, just the first 3 bars in WMA (Windows Media Audio 7,
better than MP3) to check the sound you listen to and the original
sound. It starts using cello and oboe building a soft melodic
mood through the development of the composition, where the chord
progressions change and raise progressively the atmosphere. |

Altman
Sonata (last movement) for piano (74K), XG - May 06 |
000 |
I
began composing this work in January 2000 and finished six months
later and I gave it the nickname, the "Altman" sonata
which is dedicated to my dear friend, author, and Beethoven biographer,
Gail Altman. I chose the last movement because it's my favorite
in this work, full of energy and vitality. It's in a rondo style
with a fugue for the development section that offsets the first
and third episodes but they return again leading to a triumphant
ending. |

Funk
(A Brief Insanity) (48K), ?? - May 12 |
000 |
Name:
Funk (A brief insanity). Category: Non-Orchestral. Description:
This is the story of one who thought he could compose music. He
was happy, and he was amazed at the music he created. He showed
his music to the world, but came to the realization that he knew
nothing of how to compose, and he lacked talent. He descended
into a funk and felt sorry for himself. Once he accepted what
he was, he saw that he still liked his music. It still sounded
good - to him. And so he resolved to compose for the joy of composing
by his own rules. "I doubt if a single individual could be
found from the whole of mankind free from some form of insanity.
The only difference is one of degree.". Desiderius Erasmus
(c. 1466-1536). |

Mary
Edna (78K2), GM - May 18 |
005 |
Mary
Edna was written using three different midi programs: MusicMasterworks
for the basic composition and velocity settings, Cakewalk Pro-Audio
to set volume and pan, and Cakewalk overture to clean the piece
up. I classify this piece as jazz, non-orchestral. I have a Soundblaster
Live! soundcard. This piece was scripted, not played. How I came
to write the piece is simple. I ask people what kind of music
they like, and attempt to write something in the appropriate genre.
(I think of it as being half hobby, and half creative pursuit
with an eye to selling/peforming the resulting compositions.)
A friend of mine asked for a jazz piece, and this is the result.
What else can I say? "Mary Edna" is a straightforward
bop/swing piece, reminiscent of jazz greats like Parker, Monk,
Miles, etc. |

Handel's Great
Drunk (21K1), GM - May 22 |
000 |
Sound
card: SOUND BLASTER 16. Voicing: General Midi. Description: Musical
Fiction. Soon after arriving in London, G F Handel visits a Public
House, and seeing a pint of warm bitters can only say "NEIN".
After the 7th pint Handel imagines music appropriate to his condition.
This is what he could have composed under the conditions, had
he allowed himself to do so. A small coda celebrates a few hours
he spent in The Royal Navy, after an "unfortunate misunderstanding"
with a pressing gang later that night. Procedure: standard scoring
translated to midi. |

subject for midi work, as voices can vary considerably and the
intent remain. Procedure: Bach's Two Part invention #1 converted
to Midi with two parts added by single note entry.

Sister
Ann Joins the Carnival (305K), GM - May 24 |
000 |
A
cinematic piece of sorts with multiple movements telling the story
of my sister's adventures when she ran off and joined the carnival
right after high school. As for what genre this one belongs under?
It's kind of a carnivalesque classical experimental progressive
rock something or other. Written in Sonar and Finale, Configured

Shadow
Play Waltz (60K8), GM - May 24 |
001 |
Type
1 midi. GM fonts. Hand entry in NWC, Category: Orchestral. Shadowplay
is a Bolshoi ballet-inspired sort of waltz about 4 and a half
minutes in length. Ladies in satin gowns, men in formal dress
w/white gloves... crystal chandeliers, French doors open onto
a moonlit terrace, arbors of wisteria,.. The Works. At least that's
what I was aiming for. Its big, there are some repeats, a bit
of dissonance for the undertone of romance found and lost. And
it gets kinda loud near the finale. Hope you enjoy it. |

Entrance of the Scholars (12K3), GM - May 24 |
000 |
Type
1 GM fonts. Noteworthy Composer. Category: Unknown. This is a
funny little march from an opera I guess I'm going to have to
write one day; entitled: The Way Of Heaven. A bit of Chinoiserie.
I envision a courtly procession of Mandarins, fragile with age,
and with long white beards and they are dressed in richly embroidered
silk robes as they enter the Emperor's throne room through a magnificent
red doorway. Beauty, youth and wealth are fleeting, Knowledge
is useful, Wisdom alone is power. |

Hallelujah
Chorus (35K2), SB16 - May 24 |
000 |
It
was written with Midisoft's Midisoft Recording Session. This project
was assigned to me for schoolwork over a period of about a month
and a half. It is basically a note-for-note copy of Handel's own
work. I chose the instruments such that, if you listen closely,
you can pick out each individual one most of the way through the
song. I have a soundblaster 16 card, and this peice was probably
written in GM format, but i'm not sure. I am a homeschool teenager
who loves music (especially classical) and computers. |

Chesh
Lank (120K5), GM - May 28 |
000 |
"Cheshire
Rounds and Lancashire Hornpipe". . . . . These two melodies
are traditional English tunes. They're orchestral arrangements.
"Cheshire Rounds" has been called the single most definitive
'native' English composition in English traditional music, and
the Lancashire hornpipe works well with it, I think. I wrote this
piece using a combination of Music Masterworks, Cakewalk Pro Audio,
and Overture MIDI programs. It's a GM piece. I arranged this for
brass band and percussion. (Sorry for submitting an arrangement,
instead of an original piece... I couldn't resist. I *like* these
tunes!). |

Stringquartett
C Major, 1st mov. (60K7), GM - May 28 |
000 |
As
said already in last month's contest, the last musical thoughts
Beethoven left to us before his death are sketches for a string
quintet in C major. There is a complete introduction and sketches
for the main themes of the following movements. I wrote a complete
string quartet making use of these themes. Here I present the
first movement (Andante Maestoso / Allegro). I ask you to evaluate
for the contest only the Allegro, for the introduction to 95%
is drafted by Beethoven (I made only the arrangement with only
a few additions) but I wanted to present the complete movement.
In the Allegro only the main theme and a tutti theme (bar 52)
is from Beethoven. The movement is very melodious. In the development
after first covering the second theme I try to elaborate mainly
on the main theme - in contrast to the exposition primarily in
minor keys and with counterpoint elements. The Coda starts with
a tender Andante variation of the main theme and ends with a furious
Presto. |

001 | |
An
Original Theme with 7 Variations for Strings in A-Major."
This piece is comprised of eight different midis that I was able
to link (rather awkwardly) by using a small DOS utility called
"midicat". Though I intend to update it later this year
- it really needs to be scored for string and woodwind octet -
it is still suitable for human consumption. The movements are
as follows: 1) Theme - 2) Var. #1 "alla 'ungarese" -
3) concertante - 4) "in moto perpetuo" - 5) fughettaboutit
- 6) minore - 7) pizzicato - 8) Finale. If I did it right, the
Finale should contain elements of what came before in the previous
variations, and bring it together in a nifty bundle. That's if
I did it right. With all the repeats, it's still only 16-17 minutes
of your time, and I DID write it while half-blind after eye operations.
(Do sympathy votes count? LOL - you'd have all paid real money
to see me with my face one-millimeter from the screen). Use at
LEAST concert-hall EAX settings, and default SB Live card fonts,
EXCEPT for the solo violin (CADENZA! HAH!), and solo cello (MERLIN!
HAH on ME!). Enjoy, if you can. Me, I'm going to trade my blood-red
eyeballs for some olive-green high-balls. |

The
Enchanted Storm of Garmanius (90K3), GM - May 28 |
002 |
The
freestyle song was written to portray the drama of storm through
music. From wind and rain, to lightning and thunder this song
takes you from the anticipation of the smooth beginning of the
storm, to the harsh vengeance of mother nature. Turn out the lights
and close your eyes as the music takes you to a whole new world
beyond imagination ... Concert Hall setting is recommended. Hope
you have good speakers for this song. Be careful, there's a lot
of events in this song which leads to voice drop-outs on many
soundcards/modules. |

Boris
and Natasha (47K), ?? - May 30 |
000 |
Category:
Orchestral or Experimental (everything I do is an "experiment")
Description: Boris escapes from the psychiatric institution in
the Gulag to return to his love, Natasha (who put him there in
the first place - he is not a political prisoner, but truly insane).
After crossing a wilderness, he arrives at the city where Natasha
lives. Immediately, they argue, violently, and he kills her -
regretting it deeply. He then winds up back at the institution
where he started. For those who have problems with interpretation,
I have included extensive documentation in the markers for those
who can read markers (e.g. Cakewalk). This is the experiment -
listen to the song without reading the markers and see if your
interpretation agrees with what I had intended. Can you tell when
he gets out? Can you tell when he kills her? |

Scherzo
on Bee (111K6), ?? - May 30 |
000 |
1825,
one year after the Ninth and 2 years before his death, Beethoven
sketched themes for a planned Tenth symphony. Among them is a
powerful main theme of 24 bars for a Scherzo with 7 bars for a
Trio. These fascinated me so much that I composed a whole movement
on the base of this, and I am very happy about the result. |

End
of the Storm (9K), GM - May 30 |
000 |
This
work has a relatively simple texture- block chords with slow strings,
melody and harmony with fast strings, with tympani providing some
added warmth on the bottom end. This is meant to be a slow, wide
and sweeping movie-esque symphonic tune. I suppose that the genre
submission purposes would be cinematic... My setup: I'm using
Encore for windows to do my composition, and a SB Live! sound
card for playback. |

Symphony
2, mov 1 (78K2), XG - May 30 |
000 |
Some
month ago a friend of mine has asked me to write some nice post-romantic
music for a short film,(he has made the screenplay)and I`ve started
to think about it. When I`ve seen that the film has stucked a
little bit, I`ve decided to write music from the lot of themes
that I`ve made for the film project. It was the beginning the
making of this symphony. Maybe it never will be film-music, but
I think it was a great idea to make it. This movement is a variation
serie with a middle-part that was developed from a counterpoint
of the second part of the main-theme. It sounds great with Yamaha
XG. |

Gran
Ciaccona (50K1), GM - May 30 |
000 |
Partite
e fuga sopra al basso ostinato della ciaccona in fa maggiore (versione
usata da Pachelbel). Gli strumenti usati sono 2 flauti dolci,
2 Oboi, 2 Violini, Fagotto, Viola da gamba, Arpa e continuo (clav.
+ violone). It's a my original composition upon the famous bassground
(alike the follia or passacaglia, Romanesca, Monaca ecc.) all
the composers wrote variations upon this bassgrounds, similar
the blues for the modern era. About the b.g. ciaccona, there are
2 or 3 versions and this is which used from Pachelbel on the famous
canon for violins. |
