So, here's my entry into Sci's competition, found here...
This specific competition was to write a battle theme for a pony of some kind, so I chose Rarity. I felt I could work with her 'poshness' better than others, being a classical musician and all...
I think it turned out pretty good! Theory-wise, the chord progressions are standard...oh, except there are French 6ths everywhere! Why the French versions? Well, it's Rarity! She oozes style!
Also, I kind of ignored the rules for writing for timpani...
I imagine there could be more stuff to work on this, but I think it sounds fine as is and I have lots of other things to work on!
So enjoy!
ALSO, the site is currently 'down for maintenance', so don't let me forget to actually submit it!!!
