Hi Matt,

I listened a couple of times to this and was most impressed, especially by the second half.

I do agree with Sherry. A .not file is much easier to read as one listens, move back and replay a striking passage, etc. This is also true of a .mid file, though all annotation is lost there. The files size limit for a .not file is 500KB. However, that increases a lot if you send it zipped. The file I submitted the other day was reduced from 523KB to about 175KB by zipping it. The zip program I use is Zip Genius, which is free and pretty powerful.

all best,
mgj

Hey guys,

Thanks for the comments! I always enter the notes via mouse. Not very "artistic", I know, but I'm really not much of an instrumentalist. ^_^

I know what ya mean about the pdf being hard to follow. Personally I find it very difficult to follow a score when listening to music. Unfortunately, this is a little embarrassing, but I don't actually use Composer. >_< *hides*

Yeah, I found this place by googling for a place where composers could share their music with each other. It's nice to see a community where composers can exchange ideas. God knows the non-musically-inclined tend not to pay attention to the small details that composers work so hard on. XD

Thanks again for the responses guys. =]

I thought it was beautiful. A very simple chord progression, skillfully enhanced and excellently orchestrated. As I'm rather used to following along with orchestral scores, I had no problem following yours. I would love to hear a live version, with quality players. Keep up the good work!

Hi Matt Also thanks for shari
 
Hi Matt
Also thanks for sharing the mid. file of this beautifull song.Where did you get the idea ? Like Sherry and MG,I always try to look at the partiture and I like the restraint way in which you used the various instruments to accentuate the beautifull melody.
I could not resist playing along with this song with my fretless bass,which I hope you donīt mind.
Is there more to come ?
Regards
Djim

Hey guys,

Glad you could put the MIDI to good use!

Sherry, this is quite a coincidence, but I actually use GPO as well. It's a beautiful set of patches. <3

Djim Tio, thanks. The parts in F major started from me simply playing around on the piano back when I was an extreme novice at the instrument (although to be honest I'm still not much better, heh). Then, after notating it, I wrote the rest of the F major cues simply by inputting the notes straight onto the computer (so mundane, bleh). As for the section in C minor, it was late at night and I was attempting a solo guitar piece with somewhat of a Russian Romantic flavor. The guitar piece was actually longer that the "B" section of this overture. I suppose I didn't include it because I didn't want to stray too far from the main themes, but now that I think of it, I might want to incorporate these unused themes sometime in the future to make the piece a little more interesting.

Anyways, thanks again guys for the comments! And indeed, there will be more to come. ^^
