(Classical-ish) Composition - Promise

[Reives]

This is an expanded version of a recurring theme at one point from Quintessence that I just finished composing. It is rather softcore and has a melodic focus.

As expected, it was beautiful. Real pleasure to listen to!

(P.S. If you ever want to do another trade, I'd *love* some more of your compositions )

You're a very talented composer Reives!

The music is very good, though if I must say so myself, I think some instruments can't be clearly heard, might be because of the piano's volume...

Fantastic. I've heard a few of your pieces and I have to say you have a talent, especially with "crunch chords," there were 2 in this piece I do believe, but you have to have a good ear to both hear them and recognize how well they fit into the flow of the music. Keep up the good work!

 

[Reives]

Thanks guys, glad you like it. :>

@lunarea: I'd love to, but I'm lagging behind on schedules and due dates at the moment in both Quintessence making and real-life classes, heheh. Perhaps more when things settle down.

@pathbinder:
Ah, I think I know what you mean. Especially the after the piano/harp only section where the violin comes in, it wasn't very audible. I'll keep that in mind, but for that section I think I did it because the soundfont made it sound awkward with a bigger dynamic, heheh.

@firecross: Oo, I'm not really sure what's a crunch chords, but I'm guessing that they are the "strange"-ish chord transitions that is followed by a slight pause in that song? o:

I can't stop listening to it. It's so pretty. If you released an album, I'd buy it. And I am super cheap...

D: I'm flattered, thanks! You can find more original songs in Quintessence's audio folder if you're interested; have to download the actual game for it though. (Shameful plug!)
