Art in the form of music

I know it's a change for you guys. This is pretty much a visual art section, but I didn't feel like posting this with the oOo: of the offtopic section.

A few of my friends (17 years old at the time) wrote some compositions for class in the mozart form. What do you guys think of em? Which is your favorite?

Robert Olieman is going to West Chester University for music composition--hopes to do stuff like John Williams and Danny Elfman with film scores. He's amazing at composition...really talented guy. He wrote a song for the orchestra to play at our highschool graduation.

Grace is going to a PennState University--Bucks campus. I'm not sure what she plans on doing later on.

Amber Gellock is going to Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) as an undecided major. She wants to get into composition last I heard.

Mike Penna is going to IUP also. I believe he wants to go to be a general teacher. No music invovled.

Caitlyn Biggs is going to Lebannon Valley College (really small school in PA) for Music Education.

I asked them later on how they felt about their compositions and they all generally agreed that they didn't think it was the best thing they wrote because of all of the restrictions with form and such (mozart form). Olieman does awesome stuff for film...very different from Mozart stuff.

There is a pretty big composer out there now that attended my High School. My music theory teacher told us that he had to do some porno movies at first to get his footing stable. But now he seems to be really accelerating and going places. His website is http://www.christopherlennertz.com

my vote goes for Robert Olieman's piece, but I really enjoyed Mike Penna's as well.

I perfer roberts to the rest. in my opinion he emulates the style much better while using vast cressendos and decressendos and how and where he uses the instruments in the composition shows his knowledge and prowess in music and composition

Riiiiiiiiight.

yeah, he definately knows his stuff.

Maybe I'll get him to send me some of his recent compositions that he does for fun so I can host them.

prot....no need for that. You don't have me going "Riiiiight" when you talk about PS. kthx.

Sorry about that. Just weird to see this, it's like watching gerv and akuma talk about pc's. No offense meant.

ban:

Whoa, sorry I offended so many people. Back on topic.

I'll listen to them when I get home. IM BURSTING WITH EXCITEMENT happy:

biggrin:

/cumshot

Caitlyn Biggs 's is the only one i listened to all the way thru ... i think they would sound much better if all the instruments werent the same volume (dunno whats that called in musical term).

very talented bunch.

yeah, i do agree with you though with the volume levels. It's kinda hard to dictate to the computer what you want done with it expression wise, ya know.

If some of you were wondering, yeah those are the recordings that Finale 2005 (music program) generated.

happy:
