Score

(poor) recording

This is the fist thing I've ever written that's three minutes long, so this is kind of a milestone for me.

Question: In measure 47 and 49 beat 3, do you prefer the A in the recording, or the G in the score? I'm not set on either one yet.

Hi, JoelW! Ah -- another Debussy wannabe! But consider this a compliment -- I found this to be a very convincing, well-crafted composition, at a level of sophistication far above most other compositions I've seen in Composer's Forum. It could have been written by any one of the English or French post-Impressionist composers in the early 20th Century, when "Debussian" chordal progressions began to take hold. A really nice effort, and thanks for sharing it!

Very satisfying! Ya done good.
