Thank you to psychofly for the idea!

This is my first AS compostion - I would really appreciate it if you would listen and review it! I know it has got full marks, and I'm really proud of it! I'm hoping to study composition at music college so pLease review because I'd love to have some opinions!

Please ignore the awful soundingness of the music software - I know its difficult to get past!

Take care,

Becky

EDIT- Thought I should tell you a little about what the composition represents:

It is set to words "The Angel" by William Blake which, for anyone who has not read the poem, is about age etc hence the reappearing clockwork like motif. ("The time of youth was fled, and grey hairs were on my head")

It is based around a Schubert piece I am studying for AS and the purpose is about identifying the piano as more than an accompaniment.

The cello then carries a secondary melody.

ooh.. love it, very effective, and a great structure and shape smile.gif .. well as far as i could tell anyway ... you were right about the synth recording - oh how i hate those things!
you should really see if you can find someone to record it live for you. sure it'd be worth it!

I have to record it for AS anyway, and I shall be very glad to be able to let people listen to it without the synth recording! Gah!

Thank you for your comments all, much appreciated.

Take care,
