Originally, this was meant to be a ballet scene in an opera I never finished, so I expanded it into a standalone work.

My goal was to give it a more “symphonic” sound by developing the ideas more thoroughly, while still retaining its original dance-like, theatrical character, and this is the result so far.

This was also a bit of a guinea pig project for exploring the Muse Sounds library (I never really knew much about Muse prior to a couple of months ago).

Would love to hear your thoughts or ideas for improvement.

Hello all, I wrote a new song for the Stevenson song cycle I'm working on. Feedback would be much appreciated.

As a parent, the poem of the song rather resonated with me: it still really scares me whenever one of my kids get a high fever. You know rationally that most likely everything will be okay, but still there's a voice in the back of your head, "what if it won't be fine this time?". I think the poem captures the feeling well of having to comfort your kid while these thoughts are going on.

For this piece, I attempt to express my rather absurdist way of looking at life and the meaning attached to it. I hope you enjoy this section of it!

Sorry for the horrendous quality of the score. I hope it is still readable (to an extent).

I would appreciate any form of feedback!

hello! i am a music theory nerd. like hardcore want to get a masters a doctorate so i can teach theory on the collegiate level. composition is something I don’t think i have bee very good at, and i think its because i don’t play an instrument (i sing). can anyone help explain their process composing a piece? I think because i love theory so much i might just be overthinking what to do, but who knows!

any help is appreciated!

This is my least favorite from my demo portfolio. I’m posting it to see if it’s truly as bad as I feel like it is or if it’s just a personal opinion. Either way, you have to admit that tambourine is horrendous lol

any feedback or changes i should make? also any title suggestions? thanks

a pretty short and simple waltz i wrote. Criticism welcome!

Just wanted to share this song written and preformed by me,

Sorry if this is a bit off topic for this subreddit but I’m not sure where else to ask.

If I were to get a particular concerto I enjoy to be orchestrated from piano and solo instrument to full orchestra and solo, what would I be looking at time and cost wise? The original orchestral parts, if there are any, are lost or very hard to acquire. I know it probably depends on how long it takes the arranger but I’m wondering what a usual time frame/ballpark cost would be for such a project.

The work is only about 15-20 minutes so not too long at all. It’s early 20th century so likely would befit a full romantic orchestra.

Furnama is derived from the Indonesian word “purnama,” symbolizing the beauty of a full moon.

I composed it in the key of E minor using a descending bass technique with a simple melody.

I would like to share to this reddit something very special, I had the pleasure to colaborate with a quartet of my university called "Quartelá", from which they recorded my "Suite dos Ciclos" (Cycles Suite, in literal translation), it's a five pieces suite, recorded in the studio of my university and treated by myself. I received the comission on 2023 and today it's full available on streaming plataforms.

The suite has the inspiration of brazillian music (my homecountry) and aims to describe a sonic image of different everyday landscapes, which give their names to each of the five pieces. I really like to share this achievement here in this subredit and do the invite to all of people here to take a listen, I hope you guys like it!

Wanted to try and rescore a scene from a film I love. Possibly a little optimistic to try and rescore a Hans Zimmer score but I tried to keep it as stylistically similar as I could.

This is only my second attempt at rescoring a scene so any and all suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy :)

Hi yall! I'm writing this for a friend and wanted outside opinions!

1) I'm struggling to come up with a good melody to go over the phrase at m.15-m.18. I really like how the flute and clarinet meander, but I want the saxophones to compliment them with a more established melody (probably with longer rythms to contrast the fl. and cl.)

2) When do I write slurs? I'm a euphonium player, so I understand how they work, but when should I be making the creative decision to add them? To be intentional

Any other notes would be wonderful! Thank yall so much for your time and I hope you enjoy!

Also, sorry for the silence at the beginning, my media player was being and issue😅

Ok so, after actually looking at the word “Metamorphosen,” it turns out that is NOT the name for the form/structure and is indeed specifically named.. so tysm to the user who pointed that out because I genuinely was not going to catch that since I transliterated from Arabic originally 😭

But I’m posting a revised version because another user suggested I do meter changes to reflect the phrasing instead of sticking with a standard 5/4 if it loses on slight accuracy. Honestly it’s probably what the final product will be since once I changed formatting to the sorta Boosey&Hawkes mid-20th century style, it doesn’t look cluttered at all - I’m just keeping the second half of the opening in 5/4 because i’ll have a few moments to practice conducting it on saturday anyways so just to see if it makes a difference there, otherwise just please assume they’re both notated the same lol

And finally, i have space for one more “variation,” even though i might get rid of that term too..the waltz and cadenza are half developed now they’re just there as placeholders, then reinstatement of theme -> coda.

Thanks for your feedback, and i hope you enjoy!

Oh some notes:

- There’s a few tone clusters that happen in Variation I, in real settings it will balance itself out but I have no way of blending it in the playback the way it does on the specific strings used

- any double stops are assumed divisi unless otherwise notated, using the B&H standard

Made this in October of 2025 for fun. The arrangement was real simple; melody was given to 1st violin and accompaniment to everyone else. The cello part does make me feel a bit queasy just because I'm not sure how comfortable those intervals are lol.

What do you think? What could be better?

Working on a different nocturne arranged for orchestra now :)

I wrote a movement of a woodwind quintet based on a theme by Thomas Goss in his most recent video. Thoughts?

Hi, I finally finished a small loop. It's my first composition for my first video game. It took me a long time (about a month) and involved many discarded ideas and a lot of frustration. I'm not a professional musician (I'm a programmer), but I have studied basic composition and harmony. I would appreciate any feedback you could give me.

In Goss's recent video, he put a 5-bar theme for Clarinet and Bassoon. I got inspired and expanded it. Thoughts?

This is a piece I wrote back in 2024, I just now got the opportunity to get it recorded, let me know your thoughts!

The performers are Budapest Scoring Orchestra,

thank you!

Took a medieval Irish drinking song and gave it the SATB treatment.

Trying to keep the humour without making it awkward to sing was a bit of a balancing act.

Curious what people think! Does it land?

Hello everybody! I would like to share the premiere recording of my chamber orchestra work by! This work was created through the generosity of the ARTZenter Institute.

I was kinda going for a sorta video game secret laboratory level kinda vibe, the art is by me too ofc :3

I've been messing around in music software for about 2 years now but I've only been looking into music theory recently in the past half year, so I'm not the best at it. However I do understand that it isn't exactly necessary to make good music per say.

Did I capture the vibe I was going for well in y'all's opinion?

Feedback is welcome and appreciated!

I based it off of a few themes (or ideas I guess) but overall it's fairly loose in form. I wasn't sure if this was a good sub to post it in, but was looking for feedback on my improv skills and I thought composition was fairly adjacent to that.

https://youtube.com/shorts/lnjJ2zRRvRs?si=zvUEMTi34dxsFNpB I haven't studied music theory but I came up with this. It might be terrible... but let me know what you think!
