You have to appreciate the creativity. 😙 I apologise if my comment seemed dismissive it's just that I like a good melody. I'm sure the work is very clever indeed and congratulate the composer on his achievement.

This is the piece I finished this weekend past:
As I shop the Symphony around, two of the conductors I’ve shown it to have countered delicately with, “Do you have something shorter?”
(This makes me smile a bit inwardly, as I get the impression that each of the conductors has a sharper interest in the asked-after short work, as a result of my sending the Symphony, than they might have had if I had at first sent them a shorter piece . . . .)
In further interesting timing, I had been considering whether I wanted to adapt Ear Buds for orchestra. More than that, I had begun that process before meeting with the second of the conductors over coffee last Sunday . . . almost as if I had foreseen the question. (Which arguably I may have, having fielded just that question from Conductor #1.) Thus, after two afternoons’ work, there is an orchestral version of Ear Buds (Op.135a)
Cheers, ~k.

This is a curiosity I worked up over a couple of days. I don’t know, in the Grand Scheme, how good it really is . . . but I do find that I like it. This may be an eccentricity on my part.
Cheers, ~k.

This was the proper performance of the "source text" for the above:

(I'll admit it is not particularly melodic music )

And the MIDI demo:

Work on the ballet continues; I finished Scene 9 yesterday. Will think about Scene 10 today and this evening . . . it is the last of Night the Second (and, relatively brief) so there is a good chance that the first two Acts of the ballet will be In the Can this weekend.
Cheers, ~k.

I have finished Intermezzo II for the ballet White Nights, and thus Night the Second is complete.
Cheers, ~k.
