So a few days ago I was searching around my hardrive for absolutely no reason when I stumbled upon my old music compositions. After a day or two I decided to start writing more songs and after a while I'm starting to enjoy it again. So here are some of my pieces that I'd like to share:
Brian's Fanfare for Trumpet (42 seconds)
This was my first piece of music ever written. Composed back in the summer 2002 when I was first introduced to music making software. In this piece I create one main theme and play around with it.
Elizabeth and Sarah Overture (42 seconds)
My second piece. Surprisingly it doesn't sound bad. I used clarinets for this one because....well, both my sisters played clarinets, so why not?
Good Ol' Nick (14 seconds)
Nick was a good friend of mine back during my freshmen year of high school. He played tuba, so I figured I may as well use a tuba for this as well. This piece kinda has a zing to it.
Little Mischief Makers (20 seconds)
Originally written to describe my loathesom for my little sister and her friends when they got annoying back in the day. What it turned into...I don't know, but I like it. Written in either 2002 or 2003.
Hyperactive (19 seconds)
Fomerly "Kate - Movement I" but changed due to the way offish sounds. It was originally supposed to be a light and playful piece but it turned into some kind of...theme. I still like it, though. Written a few days ago.
Mystery Girl (33 seconds)
Currently my favorite piece. Written yesterday. I based it off this girl that I don't even know but am strangely attracted to. So after walking back to my dorm after a two-shift working night, I saw her and I could almost hear this type of music playing, so I went into my room and composed it in about twenty minutes.
Butterfly (15 seconds)
Written last night in a quick twenty minute contest with Haire to see how our own compositions would sound in a scene where a girl is in the prarie chasing a butterfly. Given that he had a piano and I had to do mine all by hand, I think it's only fair that mine is so short while his was well over a minute long.
Kate (32 seconds)
Made just a few hours ago. I told my friend Kate I'd write a song for her that would hopefully turn into a two or three minute piece. I struggled for hours trying to think of a good theme and after I finally got one, I produced it. Not sure what to think of it. Could be good, could be...not as good as I wanted it to be. Judge for yourself.
A Night on the Town - not yet composed
This is the next one I want to have composed by tommorrow/today. My aim is one minute. I already have the theme written in my head and I know exactly what I want it to sound like.
This will be my first swing/jazz piece. Pray that it turns out well.
By the way, it is recommended that you download them and listen to them from your own computer because the internet has a way of butchering midis.
Now I'm off to sleep and am preparing for a...erm, well you'll see.
