that was lovely...

huggles! TY *purrrrrr*

Needs more tubas!

From 39secs -49secs mostly brass fanfare ;)

Pfft... 10 seconds of all brass. It needs TUBAS! At least I didn't suggest that it needed more cowbell...

If I recall correctly, I had 1 tuba hehehehe

Proper Orchestration:
One to a part, plus: (2) Fluegelhorns, (4) French Horns, (2) Euphoniums, (1) Eb Tuba, (2) BBb/CC Tubas, (1) F Tuba

That way, the tuba family is properly represented.

*giggles*!
I apologize for my unfair representation of the tuba family *snickers* ;)

I'll let you off the hook this time. I expect "Symphony for Tubas & Percussion" within a year...

Im on it!.. Warm up your horn...Ill have a solo for you..

In college we had a wind ensemble... that included (7) trombones and (3) tubas. It was good to be in the low brass section back then.

I'm having a hard time finding a performance of the original piece, so I have no reference by which to compare it to Scriabin's original work, but I am nonetheless thoroughly enjoying this one! While nearly 15 years old, you demonstrate a real power and maturity in the composition (if that makes sense and is seen as a compliment XP).

I especially like the dichotomy here, the peice sounds simultaneously joyful and suspenseful, with the light strings, wind, and metallophone (I don't know what the full group used, haha) sounds against the more stoic and hard brass.

I feel as if we are standing in a happy field or meadow, blissfully reveling in our freedom even as danger or war looms in the distance, maybe standing still and menacing or creeping its mournful way closer. Or perhaps the other way around, with gloom spread over and we cut ourselves a brief moment of clarity and hope amidst the dark, our will driving the harshness back and giving us the chance to warm our hearts.

As always, thank you for sharing your work with us. Even as you struggle to find time to work and a situation to best support it, you still are such a talented fur. =)

I had this piano score from which to create a fully orchestrated piece from.

here is the original piano composition:

Sweet! Thanks! I now have another cool composer to explore!

Oh yes.. Scriabin is another composer im still researching!

You composed this? Beautiful!

Ironically, I first recorded wolf howls with a minidisc player, and played it back on a spectrum analyzer.

I still have my minidisc Player! They were really under-rated.. They were so much bigger in Japan though..

I just found my minidisc player in the glove box of an old truck. It's been in there 4 years, in the sweltering desert heat.

I put a single AA battery in there and it fired up. All of the discs in there were still working great!

They are Work Horses!! I still have mine and Im going to fire it up again sometime soon!

Do it! I remember it had SPDIF inputs built in. i recorded a few guitar licks on mine. I was thrilled, fiber optic interface, built in :)

Thats so awesome hun! Still have those Guitar lines you recorded?

I am about to begin work on a guitar cover of Wa Habibi. Unfortunately those old licks used a crummy component SPDIF to optical converter and they are lousy sounding. But at the time I thought it was great haha

Sounds good..
Unfortunately Im not familiar with Wa Habibi.. What kind of piece is that originally?

It is an Arabic love song written to Jesus Christ according to lyrics I found.

The instrumental of it can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbrhgzPfyrk

I love emotional, sorrowful pieces like this. They appeal to my aching soul.

Oh my!! thats really passionate, with a somberness and longing
I love it.. TY hun
I want to write another String quartet now

I usually write and play music like this with my guitar. I have an "infinite plate" reverb FX I programmed into my XT PRO. It makes the sound echo forever. It sounds kind of like this music. Something that recognizes the pain in me.

I am glad you like it :) You are very welcome my dear.

I'd love to hear it!
