Brand New classical piece ***opioions welcome ***

[SEDstar]

I'm more comfortable at my new job now after a couple months... a couple of days rain I couldnt go shooting made me play with music, and I came up with this.

The main thing took me several hours to come up with, then an hour or two every night for a couple more times, to tweak it and add a few things, and rearrange it...

eh ?


PS - if I could drag up-fidddler out of the woodwork, LMAO... I am particularly interested in his take on the piece, particularly the ending, as it concerns his particular instrument. "the fiddle". Gecko, naturally, will list 27 things wrong with it, which I look forward to.

I wanted to have a listen, but mediafire was doing strange things.

okay . . . I managed to download it successfully at last.

At about 5.40 minutes (and 10 meg) this is a substantial piece of work.

We start with the some plaintive violins, following which we get a progressive addition of sounds and textures . . . I note the unconventional melody echo at 28 seconds . . . that was an ear-catching bit of work! And then a great bit of modulation at 1:05.

The track progresses nicely, with pretty good variation throughout. AT about 3:35 there is a dramatic change with the main orchestration falling away and a piano taking on a solo role for just under a minute, before the piece resolves to its orchestral end.

It is an ambitious piece, and contains all the Sedstar trademarks, and as we hear more of these instrumentals, we can appreciate the increasing complexity and sophistication each time.

Yet . . . I still remain discontented. At about 1:50 I hear some long drone-like sounds lurking at the low end of the spectrum . . . which is great . . . and then at 2:40 there are some higher long notes performed by the violin sound . . . and I'm thinking that I have a craving for a melody line that consists of notes longer than a quarter-note!
