here is my challenge, tho I'm not expecting much uptake since it's a grand task: compose a symphony. that's it. I want, as well as an mp3 of the final, the score too - this can either be a scan or a photocopy of the score e-mailed or posted to me, or a MIDI or Sibelius file. A standard symphony has 3 movements, and lasts between 25 and 40 minutes - those are just rough guidelines for you ;) There is no time limit, so I urge you to study music somewhat before embarking on it - take your time and learn at the same time! Even if you're not going to do it, please leave your signature so I know - those of you who DO take me up on this challenge, GOOD LUCK and happy learning. marlowe |

What do you get out of this? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
me personally? I get to listen to some new symphonies. There's no great cash prize involved - composing a symphony would be reward enough. |

You could get them to come around your house, and redecorate that would be cool, and maybe dig the garden.....think about it! |

Submitted for your approval: Beethoven's 6th symphony. It's "found" art, or plunderphonics, if you will. What do I win? |

A signed photo of Marlowe...to throw darts at |

Oh, I didn't read far enough - no reward? I'll just take my Beethoven somewhere else then. :-P |

'study music'? *shudder* |

I've been meaning to do a "proper" piece for strings for years now. I'm getting happier with the quality of samples of string instruments so I think I'll go for this. My music theory is a bit rusty having not done classical for almost 10 years, but this'll be a good excuse to re learn what I knew and hopefully learn a bit more. Good thing there's no deadlines as it'll take me months :) |

I know better than to expect symphonies from people in a week - especially if they have to learn or reacquaint themselves with music theory and form! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's too damn long of a track. Plus I suck with melody. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm happy to complete a 7 minute track in a week, something like this would take me many many months... have you ever created a symphony before, paul? i'd like to hear it! |
||||||||
|

I still ask myself 'why' ?? "that's it. I want, as well as an mp3 of the final, the score too - this can either be a scan or a photocopy of the score e-mailed or posted to me, or a MIDI or Sibelius file. " Sounds a bit suspect to me! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
paul wants proof you made it ypurself, I guess. I will not participate however as I neither have the skill nor the knowledge to accomplish such a huge task. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds like a rip-off scam to me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it would be hard to come up with evidence i actually wrote it beforehand since i cannot read notes. ha! so, there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
LOL, don't worry, I'm incredibly paranoid about copyright. I mail post dated masters to myself of all my good stuf. If I successfully made a whole symphony I'd be sure to do it for that too... |
||||||||

You can't be too careful around some people here! Muhahahhahaha |

no jedi chris, its' µwahahahahahah sorry, i'm tired, night! |

|

Don't you think there is something wrong with this whole thing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You want a score attached right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you were really good at music, and studied theory and all of that? Surely a real musician would be able to follow along fine without a score...?!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
hmmm scored a lot of stuff a few years ago when i was writing brass ensembles maybe i could do something with all that |
||||||||
|
|

C'mon - I'm sure EVERY musician wants to write a symphony!! It's just about the ultimate in the intellectual pursuit in music! I've never written a symphony, no - I have written three piano sonatas, an opus of waltzes, a musical, and various other piano pieces tho... I'm studying the instruments of the orchestra right now for texture and tone &tc. i've always wanted to write a symphony :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
come on chris, give him a fucking break will ya! I might do this paul, I'm not sure yet. I'll study some of my parent's symphony albums but I don't know if this is gonna work for me. |

symphony's are overrated... I want to hear some fugues dammit, or maybe even a couple minuets!!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i'd do it, except that: 1. i cant read music, and i dont make music in traditional notation programs 2. i dont have any 'real' sounding strings/etc.. i tried something classical sounding with midi like 3 years ago, but it sucked.. could we do a 'symphony' with electronic sounds? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey maybe i'll send you something in about a year or something :) (that is; if you still know what you said here at that time :D) at this moment i only have acces to my piano in the weekends :\ and that's when i want to do so many other things.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i need a real piano, closest things i have are my casio ct-370 and lowrey electronic organ hehe.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Well Funk_master, smart as you're trying to be -- symphonies can include both Fugues and minuets. To rF, a symphony doesn't have to utilise traditional instruments :) You don't have to try and construct a "classical" sounding symphony! |
