Anyone here write classical works?

[ElectronicMan]

I've been trying my hand and got a couple pieces out, a string quartet and a chamber duet for violin and cello. Both were well-recieved, but got some criticisms, although my second one (the duet) got a lot less. I was just curious as to if anyone did.

I do some classical type of stuff . . . not sonatas, concertos or symphonies . . . but vaguely orchestral things. They usually go ok.

I stuck on in an original song thing here not too long ago: YouTube - ‪serendipity‬‏

I've written string quartets. Not very good ones, but they do sound like music more or less.

I compose personal songs that is solo guitar based, that can be arranged in a small chamber orchestra setting. Some of my tunes have movements. There might be about 20 chords in some songs and they modulate, no fixed key centre, there are bridges between the movements so they blend. In some pieces I use, classical and jazz chords for colouration. That sort of thing. Probabaly would make good film OST music. Contemporary but with classical music structure? Bill Evans, Pat Metheney/Lyle Mayes is an idea of the stuff I do.

Yes. I do. (B.M. comp) Do you have a specific question?

I've done a couple instrumental songs that I would call "classical", even though they're not typical of that genre. One song was called "Hope: Anchor of the Soul/In the Face of Danger" - it's a song in three distinct movements, led by an acoustic guitar and featuring violins, tympani, french horn, cello, piano and drums. There were two other songs that went along with Hope, to create a musical story about a sailing ship that gets wrecked and leaves the sailors shipwrecked on an island.

I doubt Bach or Wagner would be very much impressed but whatevs.

A good thing about music software is the ability to score. By score, I mean have individual instrument parts written out by the program.
If you want to compose "classical", you're going to have to learn how it's been done. learn to read scores, play in an orchestra, Study!
