Time for orchestration Challenge #13!

And just being picky.... but shouldn't those be C#s in the beginning?

Tom

haha sure, Tom, but seriously I think in symmetrical modes the use of enharmonia is very common

Yes, well, you guys can banter about the academic details of things, but MEanwhile, I just want to thank you, Roberto, for a very cool, interesting motif for us to work with.

I thought My Challenge 12 lived up to the description of "challenge" but you have definitely come up with a Very good and challenging theme for us to work with on this one!

Thank you, my friend over seas in Italy.

Fun theme, Roberto, it will be interesting to fool around with the diminished scale!

I've updated the archives: http://www.wizardwalk.com/OrchestrationChallenges/

Let us know whether or not you'd like to collect the entries and when you think a good due date would be... (it's usually around four weeks).

Congrats again on your victory! I look forward to playing around with this theme!

Thanks, Sean--It's great that the Challenge info page has been updated, so everyone can see what the rules are, and what the history of the event is.

And I certainly agree that Rorberto's theme for Challenge #13 is fun!

Randy, my friend, finding a challenging theme after the one you submitted in the last challenge was no easy task, I'm glad you think I did it

How about june 28 as a deadline?

Congrats again on your victory! I look forward to playing around with this theme!

Thank you, Sean! As for collecting the entries, I used to think they had to be sent to you...

Roberto,

I've kept a eye on this thread since you posted your score.
I did the same for Randy's and tried to ignore all the scholarly chat.
I was just sticking my head in the sand.
It seems to me the challenge is now like being at school and demonstrating some superior knowledge of the history of musical scales.

I'm sure I can use your score to begin creating something but only as a means to an end as I did in #12.

Perhaps I'll just leave the class and stand outside having a smoke.

Kind Regards

Ray

The deadline sounds fine to me.

I certainly don't mind collecting the entries as I've done for most of the rounds, but if the winner prefers to collect the entries, it's up to you...

My friend, when I posted this theme I said to myself "I'm doing a dirty trick to Ray with this one" but immediately after I thought that with your talent and musicality you might find a way to create a great piece of music on it just skipping all the theory speeches. Ray, believe me, I didn't want to show off my knowledge of scales... I just wanted to post something that would challenge the contributors...

I'm sure I can use your score to begin creating something but only as a means to an end as I did in #12.

Perhaps I'll just leave the class and stand outside having a smoke.

Kind Regards

Ray

Ray, smoking is harmful, I hope you'll stay inside and compose one of your sterling pieces

PS are those bison horns under your nose a sign of contentiousness?

[robmanderson]

It's time, methinks, for a silly question

Where or to whom do we post our entries?
