Ode to Celestia

[Artemus]

Warning! It's loud, very, very loud.

I'm proud to announce that after a day or two of meandering about this new composition program, that I can now effectively make music that isn't required to be played live. Of course, it's somewhat cheating, but now I can use instruments I otherwise don't know how to play.

This piece is a string quartet supplemented by a Church Organ. I made it to sound somewhat regal, as though to complement the great mare that it is dedicated to.

At the point in which the song changes moods, I wanted to be somewhat tender I guess, as though to enunciate that even though Celestia is the Princess of Equestria, she does well to keep her subjects in close care.

The dynamics are a bit varied, as I have yet to find a way to smoothly transition, but I tried.

Enjoy!

Note about the music. There's a page or two of just rests. I originally wanted to make a longer piece, but decided that the ending as is good enough. I haven't figured out how to remove them....soooo deal with it

Very nice, what program did you end up getting?

It's called MuseScore, which is almost like finale, only more frustrating.

This is really pretty. I love the organ a lot, has a very classical feel to it.

Many thanks! I'm an Organ/Piano major, so I'm pretty partial to it.

Also, any excuse to use one is a good one.

Gah! Beautiful music! But you have read my mind on instrumentation friend! xD Lol jk, I was gonna go w/ organ and harpsi with some choral stuff. I like your piece very much though, I thought of taking Organ at college (while they still had one) but I had to take 1 year of piano first and the organ would've been gone by then.
