GerateWohl 4,370 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Couldn't you make it a condition, that people at least post a first draft until the end of the month? Then we even would be able to appreciate the improvements until 15th of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,078 Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 Nice idea, but I think such a condition could become counterproductive for some, as people's compositional processes probably differ widely. For example, I haven't started typing mine into Sibelius yet. GerateWohl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_grig 472 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 So hello guys, I'm kind of done now. Actually I planned it differently, but now a very short, exactly 20-seconds long piece came out. Sounds more like a movie studio fanfare. I wanted to make a few improvements, but that doesn't fit anymore or is too elaborate. so here is a somewhat improvised or haphazard piece.

Popular Post MrJosh 892 Posted November 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2021 I have finished my fanfare, posted below. It is scored for brass and percussion sections, and with bassoons & contrabassoon as well, though when all is said and done, they are very much just covered up by the brass and only their essence can be detected. It's a short fanfare, followed by 3 statements of a theme/melody, ending with fanfare. Funny story...only when I was just about done putting it together did it occur to me that the 1st four notes of the melody (1st appearance is at 0:22), shares the same 1st four notes of the Jurassic Park theme...so...whoopsie.

I agree even though I am not a skilled instrumentalist. My son recently asked, if he could use my notation software and I was quite hesitant to allow that because he refused practicing the piano when he still had lessons and gave up soon. But in the end I hope that this might motivate him to step in again. But probably this will promote the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, here it is, my fanfare for brass quintett: I structured it as far as I could. Part I like, the main theme for example. Parts would require clean-up or more structure. But I am no pro and it is the first time that I did something like this. Therefore I am a little proud. But sure, I know, I could have done more. I really like the horn part (french horn), it sounds like it would be fun to play. I also like how the horn changes down that half-step at the very end.

Trumpet and trombone are terrible. But I hope it shows the idea. The horn saves it in a way. @MrJosh Your piece is marvellous.
