I hope this will work, I just set up this account. These are a set of circus pieces I wrote, I'd love feedback from real composers. If you have any desire to take a look or pass these on to a student you teach I can email you the set in pdf if you send your email. Thanks in advance! I love this site and listening to everyone's stuff.

this link now works
ETA: please forgive my cruddy performance! I have TERRIBLE performance anxiety, esp. when recording

Sorry, all this link prompts me to do is download windows media player. Can you try to upload your actual file and not wmplayer.exe?

Thanks for trying! I think I may have got it right now. However the tracks are out of order and unlabelled. So, they should go:
track 1 Lion tamer
track 2 bareback riders
track 3 snake charmer
track 4 juggler
track 5 clowns
track 6 knife thrower
track 7 fortune teller
track 8 trapeze artists (partial)
track 9 exit/finale
tracks 4-7 are the best IMO, if you are pressed for time, but all are short (a minute or 2 each)

deleting link, I tried it and got some other gibberish...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr still working on it

All I get is a notice that there are no shared files...

I find these rather attractive. I am reminded, for some reason, of Milhaud's "Household Muse" and "Madame Bovary" but you have your own style.

I found myself wanting all pieces to be longer, but as they are is still good.

Circus' freak me out. Scary places!

I like the variation of harmony. I quite like the quasi Thomas Newman sound in places.

The only thing I would like is a bit more variation in style and they were all a little short. A bit of thematic development and contrasting styles then you'd be on to a winner!

hey, D. Pub., I just wrote you! That's funny. Anyway thanks for the feedback everyone, and yes, more length would be nice, melodies/development are not my strong suit obviously. Well, and I was aiming for a younger "clientele" for these so I wasn't even attempting an epic carinval saga. ha! Thanks all
