After hearing my first composition performed in class, it sounded a whole lot more coherent than it did on the midi playback of my computer. The first "section" was easy because i used the same rhythm in the piano for the first six chords, however when I felt like there needed to be a change, I couldn't think of any way to depart from that.
Through trial and error I finally found a way to link the parts. (through a glock "cadenza" type
line).
The piece did convey what I wanted it to, an atmosphere or feeling more so than an actual melody, giving more focus on the harmonies. I was excessive in the use of the glock, which I myself didn't pick up on, but some people commented on that it was a little much. Which is a good thing, because the written part isn't exactly performer friendly (with the odd rhythms and such).
Simon and Andrew took the piece at a much slower tempo, which I think is the tempo I would like to keep it at. It's a good tempo which makes it easier to absorb the chords better I think.
