QUARKS - Symphony Orchestra (Sosnowski)

[trentpmcd]

Hi David. What a treat – two pieces from you in such a short time. Though very different, both are very fun. I guess you decided to go the other way with this – from stars and time to the smallest of the small.

As usual with your music I really liked it. Also as usual, I am in awe of your skills as a composer. This is another great achievement.

Hi David,

I totally got into the "quarkiness" of another brilliantly amusing Sosnowski excursion! There were even some very brief flashes of titillating normalcy that were, of course, blissfully annihilated in the following instant.

I just can't stop dancing to this one, David! Your usual shining stuff -- thanks for sharing with us!

P.S. The website is looking great!

Another wonderful creation about the creation. If this was a sound track I can't imagine what the visuals would look like. Of course they would be impossible to create or comprehend.

I wish I could wake up in 10,000 years and discover a little more about what the heck is going on but like the blind and deaf I'll just have to feel it.

Thanks for music that touches that sense.

Thanks David, for always providing the PDF scores with these wonderful gems you post, it is sincerely appreciated very much.

I was always wondering what exactly the installer does. Since i'm on a mac, i guess i won't need it, but was curious.
Also I'm going to soon try to do a website and was interested in the host you use, are you well satisfied with the service of that Host9?

Just blown away by this,

Marvelous work, David!

I was pleasantly surprised to hear this final piece.

It's interesting that the work in progress you posted a few weeks ago, gave the impression of fanciful playfulness. Hearing now in it's full context, I can see how you've progressed this into something quite different. There's a much darker second act here. Understandably given the subject of your theme.

I should have guessed though.. Your works are often wonderfully epic in scope... Taking the beginning and end points of a theme and scaling this down into a musical impression.


Wonderful work!

Has anyone mentioned... that the new pic on your website makes you look like Dmitri Shostakovich?

As for the song, I found it highly entertaining and playful in a way I don't think I've quite experienced in your music before! I can really imagine this in a live performance with the conductor doing lots of fun gestures and the audience lightly chuckling at each unexpected rest and disruption thereof. For me it's an enjoyable combination of playful music with a serious temprament. Rendering is spot-on as always. Nice work all around, as usual.

David:

It just opens unto me and I feel like I've been listening
for awhile, not realizing it is just the beginning.

Climactic passage near 1:20 is really great. Ensuing
string passages really make the score "sing." after that,
a host of individual, instrument statements that are so
well placed and rendered. Really great, David.

Love the rushed section at about 3:14 which leads to a
great ending.

I must iterate that I have never heard such great sounds
from a notation program as you elicit from Finale. Absolutely
fantastic.

A short expressive, excursion, but so full of interesting
journeys.

BRAVO, David
