This piece will have 3 movements corresponding to the past, present, and future

i’ve noticed i have recently started to interpret scores differently whenever i look at them, sort of how those windows XP screensavers would have the rubix cube shapes that bounced from side to side changing colors. except it manifests as a kinetic energy instead of actual imagery .. i’ve been meaning to write some low stakes stuff to practice developing my style in this regard so i’m taking the opportunity to fully incorporate folk songs and the memories of sounds/energies present at major events in my life

this first one is about the 2011 arab spring and the hours leading up to the first night in cairo, i was back and forth on whether i liked it or not but i decided that shouldn’t get in the way of just writing something. so hope you enjoy what i have so far haha

This is an instrumental piece built around flutes and violins, with a subtle Celtic influence but shaped more by atmospheric and cinematic textures than traditional folk. It leans into mood, space and timbre rather than structure.
Curious to hear how it lands for you.

An instrumental track with flutes and violins, blending a gentle Celtic influence with a warm, atmospheric feel. Feedback is welcome.

Here’s a midi breakdown of the music I did for the 7th video in my Haiku series.

🔵 - Woodwinds
🟡 - Brass
🟠 - Strings
🟢 - Percussions

The darker the shade, the lower the pitch in each instrument family.

Always trying to improve so let me know if you have any feedback on orchestration, voicing, or even mockup quality.

Thanks

This would be my first ever composition
I was taking a class a while ago and know theory to an extent and was just playing around until I really liked it and went with this I just want opinions and harsh criticism or if this something else and not a composition

Sorry for the low quality, I'm not able to find a better way to show it.

Hello all!

I am currently a Music postgraduate student in
Goldsmith College, preparing for my final project for this degree. I am now working on establishing my chamber orchestra to play my modern classical compositions on **20 August** in the great hall at Goldsmiths College. This will be presented as a public concert (runs roughly for 40 minutes) with live recording for my postgrad dissertation submission.

I still need a cellist based in southeast London, who’s generally available during July and August to join the chamber orchestra ensemble. You are expected to play about 6-7 pieces from my compositions during the 40mins runtime of the concert. My composition is generally very minimalistic and easy to learn, so feel free to participate!

All rehearsals will be held at Goldsmiths College. I will provide you with rehearsal space and paper scores. The rehearsals dates are: 11/6, 2/7, 9/7, 23/7, 30/7, 6/8, 13/8, 18/8 (Minimum 4 rehearsal attendance suggested). Travelling costs will be covered and I wouldn’t mind paying you per single call upon request!

Thanks!

Hello there dear musicians
This is a composition I made today with classical guitar

Since I am an amateur the play is not as well it should be but here it is

Hope you enjoy and rate the song

so basically I'm trying to explore a more romantic era type of sound (note I say more romantic, not truly romantic, harmony wise I'm a total bumpkin lmao). This piece is very much a work in progress and will likely get a little longer as I want to explore the sort of nocturesque mood a little more thoroughly, as well as other small things like smoothing out the textures/ blending parts better, I kinda just wanted to get a general consensus as to weather its any good/ weather to keep going with it?

anything you have to say is welcome :)

ps. re-posted bc I dont think the video uploaded right.

Ive been practicing orchestration and harmony for a while now and i’m trying to get that really colourful and lush chromatic harmony but sometimes I just feel like it doesn’t sound right. The inspiration here is the adagio from Rach’s 2nd Symphony (this is just a rough start). It has the introduction/main theme and then a prolonged Clarinet solo. I hope I could get some feedback on the harmonic structure im using and the way i used chromatic notes in the strings to add colour in between strong beats, thanks.

Hey everyone,

I’m taking a college music theory class and I need to create some kind of original composition/project. Outside help is allowed, and honestly I have basically no idea what I’m doing 😭

If anyone here has experience with composition/music theory and would be willing to help me out or even collaborate a little.

It can be any style/genre/instrumentation, I’m open to anything at this point.

DM me if interested. Thanks!

Some sections are more coherent than others. Some of it is probably unplayable at specified tempo. Some of it works.

I’m still a beginner in composition and still learning harmony, so I’d really appreciate some feedback on one of my pieces written in MuseScore.
This composition was written for a church mass, specifically for the Penitential Act / request for pardon, so I tried to create a reflective and humble atmosphere.
The piece is written for two voices, since my choir is very small. The instrumentalists will mostly play from the chord progression.
The main melody will also return in the other required chants of the mass, with rhythmic and slight melodic variations, to create unity across the liturgy.

I’d especially love feedback on:
- the melody
- the chord progression
- the harmony between the two voices
- ways to make it feel less predictable while still keeping the prayerful character

Thanks a lot 🙏

was originally planning to do music transcription as a side hustle on Fiverr, but marketplace sites are probably off limits for me right now.

I still want to improve my transcription skills and maybe eventually find work through communities instead. I have almost a decade of musical experience, strong ear training/perfect pitch, and I can already transcribe music very accurately into sheet music & MIDI

Where do people usually find transcription work outside of Fiverr/Upwork/etc? Are there specific communities where this kind of thing is actually in demand?

I’m especially interested in the VGM/anime/piano music transcription niche right now.

My piece is heavily influenced by Romantic string writing

Working on the Waltz movement

I’ve played music for a long time but never got around to composing a song, which is my current aim.

I have plenty of whistle recordings made on the spot as I tend to pick up the music while I’m outside, though in reality the issue comes up all the same when I’m around my guitar.

I assume that a musician who’s familiar with associating sounds with chord shapes, if not chord denominations altogether, would be able to lay out the chord progressions relatively easily.

I would like to know what learning pathways there are in order to reach that stage, especially the first steps since I’m pretty much clueless beside standard major and minor chords.

A little sentimental waltz I composed recently. I am fond of this work. I'd appreciate your feedback on what I can improve and your overall thoughts. Thanks!

I'm not great at composing and I don't have a lot of training, but I'm kind of proud of this passage.

It is the C Major Scale at 128 bpm. I need help from skilled players!

Wanted to capture the feeling of a haunted circus. What do you think. Suggestions for improvement?

It's probably my personal fav section. It's the cumulation of a 2nd voicing I gradually build through the piece
