I think I still have a bit of work on this one.  It needs come dynamics and more percussion parts.

[Fortet]

Out of curiosity, what program did you use to write these?

[A Forgotten Legend]

Finale 2009.  I kinda upgraded myself a few months ago.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Bumping.

Well, instead of posting the songs here, I'll post a link to my posterous, which is essentially a blog for my music.

Check it out.  There are two pieces that you guys haven't heard yet.

[A Forgotten Legend]

So you don't have to look for it ^


I really want some opinions on this.  I might use it somewhere in my game.  Its got an interesting sound to it.

EDIT:
While I'm posting lyrics for Never Win below, I'll add them for this one, too.
[spoiler]
Girl 1: Once upon a time
when I curiously looked at the sky
I dreamt of a far off place
Where nobody would know my face

Girl 2:When we are young,
We are taught to have done
Everything right by our elders
Even if they are the assaulters


Both: Into the woods we went
Never again have we sent
Any joy or happiness
Only pain and loneliness

Both: Accusare nemo se debit, nisi coram Deo
Girl 1:(Ooh) Girl 2: Cineri gloria sera est,
Girl 1:(Ooh) Girl 2:Cicatrix manet,
Girl 1:(Ooh) Girl 2:Cupiditas ex homine,
Girl 1:(Ooh) Girl 2:Cupido ex stulto numquam tollitur

Girl 1:(Ooh) Girl 2:Never again shall I  enter, never a-gain shall I go into the dreadful wood, Never oh, never  oh, never a-gain

Both: I will not go! [/spoiler]

Uh, erm... well, yes.

Anyway, I know that the stuff I write isn't up the right alley for most of you... but, here's some of my recent stuff.
Ex Umbra in Lucem - Solo for English Horn and Orchestra -WIP-
Never Win for Voice and Piano
Through the Looking Glass for Indoor Percussion Ensemble

Comment if you will.  The middle one, Never Win, is the shortest of the three and is actually a song for one of the characters in my game.  The voice part is played by a violin so you can hear it better. I'll post the words in this here spoiler tag!  I'm not great at words... so be advised.
[spoiler]Oh how simple it is to be a child,
Care-free and wild.
How strange is the trust they show,
Even when your tactics are so low…

But in the end evil will win
And good will turn to sin.

You can run but can’t hide,
I’ll find your cry and deny
Your right to living

You can wait and create,
An army of millions
But it won’t stop me -- you’re too late.

You can just try to stop me!
The Napoleon of this century!
I will win, you will lose, can’t you understand this news?

How simple it is you child,
Care-free and wild.
Just give in, just give up, you will never win!


Good never wins.
So it begins,
My reign of sin!

Good stands alone,
Go ahead and bemoan
You will not dethrone!

I know my disciplines,
You can lose those grins,
Because good never wins!
[/spoiler]


EDIT: Sorry I was dumb and forgot how to do urls on the forum. Fixed.

EDIT2: Updated the audio in Through the Looking Glass because it was really old. haha

[Moosetroop11]

I only listened to the first one but I thought it was great.  The only bits I weren't too keen on was at the very beginning where it's relying entirely on the melody (Which I didn't think was particularly interesting) and just after 2 minutes where it sounds a little 'film music' like for a while.  Other than that, totally loved it.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Hm,  I can see what you mean .  I'll see what I can do later on.  The beginning I think I'll add some more percussion stuff to spice it up.  Thanks guys!

[A Forgotten Legend]

Well, here I am again doing that composing stuff.

Here's a new tune for Oboe and Piano -- that I'm going to have to play as well.  Shall be interesting.

Sky Song

[A Forgotten Legend]

An experiment in long drawn out chordal/dissonant harmonies with some experimentation in borrowed chords and chromatic harmony.  So, in basic terms, interesting chords. haha

The End?

[Meiscool]

Makes me feel like someone has died... but in the good kind of way!
If you get what I mean...

[A Forgotten Legend]

Haha, thanks guys.  Now that I've finished all my theory classes I've been exposed to a lot more tools to use.  I'm still getting used to some of the techniques available, but practice is the best solution right?  I'll post some more stuff as I write it since I've got more time to dedicate to it.
