Jompa's Compositions/Non-Video Game Related Arrangements/Performances

[Jompa]

You mean Amity Square, right?
And you're right, I noticed too actually (when I was finished with the melody), they are very similar (mainly at the beginning of the melody).
They both mainly base themselves on the pentatonic scale, the melody starts on the major seventh, and the chord progressions in their B-parts both start on the subdominant (and sorta descend quite similarly). Also, they both use (or rather, depend on) the whole "tonica as a bi-dominant to subdominant"-effect relatively often, making the pieces quite similar.

Ah, no. I just meant you could of put it in that game and it would of fit right in. XD

[Jompa]

ahaha really? that's kinda cool

Me and a classmate made a little theme, and we tried giving it some variation here:
MP3 - The Circus Song

I made a "piano draft" of a concert band song I'm writing, so I guess I'll just post it here :3

"March for World Peace and Love Nice for Help" <-- Don't ask about the title, I wasn't the one who came up with it.

I made a string quartet.
These days all we do in music specialization class is compose, and our current assignment is "make a simple motive from the notes A, C# & G# and use it to write a 16 measures long AABA-form piece for string quartet, with a couple of intro measures". And I did that in one hour. And because the rest of the class won't be finished with this for like a month or so, I got the extra-assignment "pretend that the AABA you already wrote is only A, and use that to write a new AABA string quartet piece where the B-part is in the variant minor and also different from the A-parts". And I just finished that too, now that I got home. And I'm pretty happy with it considering I don't know anything at all about this kinda classical music, and also considering I wrote it over the course of half a school day + an hour at home.
I figured I'd post it here, for everyone to laugh at n'stuff.

^It's actually really good!

[Jompa]

Thanks a lot!

Just to critique myself here: I think I was being a bit too "crazy" for it's own good with it. I'm not saying that because of some musical rules or anything, but from a listener's perspective there really is a bit to much information to take inn - I feel like I didn't do a good enough job to properly establish the motive before making all the variations and going crazy with the B-part. I think it would be better if I just repeated the first A-part instead of coming with a new A-part, and then just doing something out of the second repeat house to go over to B, and doing a crazier (and maybe longer) A-part at the end, kinda like the second A-part.
But even so, I don't think I'll do anything about it now - I'll just learn from it instead.

I made this short piece in music specialization class today: (I did it in NotePad, so you can imagine the limitations)
[Vinter] - for 2 clarinets & string quartet

[FireArrow]

Seriously, you're amazing, those melodies flow so nicely through each other (um... I don't know how to word that :3).  Don't worry about overloading with information, your stuff is pretty tame compared to a lot of contrapuntal stuff out there.

[Jompa]

Thank you!

Today I was bored after finishing early on midterms, so I passed the time before we had to turn it inn writing a string quartet.
I had no means of listening to it, and I also used NotePad, so I'm blaming any lack of quality on that.
So despite that^, as well as being really short and simple, I think it turned out kinda good.

I really like all of your compositions! I'm not well acquainted with a string quartet, but your compositions sound really nice!

[Jompa]

I'm not either really:P Thanks

When I came home from school today there was only one thing on my mind: I wanted to make a march.
I've been working on it for 6 hours non-stop now, and I'm finally finished.
This is more of a stand-tune than an actual march, but I think that counts as a march too.
