And here's an extra tune, from Larry G. Alexander. It's called "Arresti E Vada" (not sure if I separated the words correct. Larry?) CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO Arresti E VadaIf I may comment is that I think this is a very clever work, rather difficult to perform live, and the mechanical recording (from Finale?) certainly doesn't do it justice. But it's the first time I've heard something so dissonant from you Larry and I'm enjoying every minute of it. Dara: Thanks for your words about my work. I have a few ideas for the coming months... So I won't run out!  And thanks for offering your insights for all those works so far. It's been very smooth so far I think! I'm glad that you like it, Nikolas. I rarely write in this manner - leaning slightly toward atonality. My sequencer is Sonar BTW. Regards.

Gregory,
That is some nice work. I can hear something high and sustained, something of a different timbre, starting in the treble after about 12 to 15 measures. It would not detract from the very engaging, firey rhythm, but would provide sustaining interest because of the contrast.
I am only getting 4 pages of the score, however.
This work deserves completing.
Ed

Thanks LoPresti!
I deliberately wrote it in one part but that's an interesting idea. I could take it further.

I decided not to wait for January's thread so here's a new piece that's the polar opposite of Elegy. I call it Luminous. I've sent the score to Nikolas so hopefully he'll get that up soon. https://soundcloud.com/pantonality

Hi Steve,
That is one very nice piece of music! I loved the shape, the arch, and the development within. I lost track of how many major keys you transversed, but if you said "ALL", I would not be surprised.
I am particularly fond of the way you junxtapose tone-centers so that they create tension, but do not clash harshly. Great skill!
Ed

Ed,
Thank you for listening and for your kind words. I very much appreciate them. I haven't counted up how many major keys I traverse, but I'm pretty sure it's not all.
