None But The Lonely Fugue
A choral fugue on one of my favourite art songs of all time, None but the Lonely Heart (Net, tol'ko tot, kto znal). I wrote it a while ago but have repeatedly tried and failed to record it vocally as it's quite hard - if anybody wants to give it a go feel free!
As ever, please leave suggestions for other fugue subjects in the comments, and you can find the sheet music for free on my website linked below.

chopin is a bad guy - billie eilish / chopin mashup
Просмотров 14 тыс.2 года назад
The riff from Bad Guy by Billie Eilish is a fantastic motif that I think would lend itself to a huge variety of composers' styles. When composing this at the piano a few other composers sprang to mind who I could do next... I've finally shelled out for the expensive piano samples, so this (hopefully) sounds a lot better than my previous MIDI-sequenced pieces. If there is demand I might go back ...
Vulfpeck Fugue - a funk fugue
Просмотров 29 тыс.2 года назад
Funk Fugue. The perfect coupling? The original track has a fugal interlude/bridge, so I decided to complete what Vulfpeck started. When you allow jazz harmony, counterpoint becomes much easier! I've wanted to write this since I started uploading fugues here, and my newly-acquired Logic sound samples has given me the opportunity. Many thanks to my colleague and tech expert Joe for dealing with m...

    actually, hearing this again after a years, i think your "completion" at least to the end of the exposition, WAS BRILLIANT, or at the least very accomplished the theme was not inane, just inordinately LONG and the joke was in the LENGTH not the quality of the theme as a former double bass player trained in baroque continuo playing alongside orchestral work , and as a holder of a bachelors degree in composition - which included fugue - I think this theme had all the elements of a baroque fugal subject, even more than could fit into a one or two bar snatch which is the standard fugue subject. I would like to see this fugue worked out to the fullest extent, even if it is a vast juggernaut of nearly half and hour but alas it can't be done by me. my morale as a composer is utterly shattered and i have not put pen to music paper in 20 years

    The only thing that i think would be different in a real handel aria is that it would start and end on the same chord (i can think of exactly one aria of his that doesn't do this and it's "shy do the nations so furiously rage" but let me know if there are more because i could be totally wrong)

    Lyrics: They use suspensions a lot in Lieder Repeated motifs, with offbeat piano To build emotions: use modulations Chromatic tension and ritenuto Perhaps I'm finding my love rejected Or I've been called up for martial duties If so the piano depicts the action! Before preparing, The middle section A change of texture shows a winter storm is howling Chromatic passagework and baritonal growling Di minished chords bring strife The Neapolitan is quite a larming The triplet semiquavers show the heart in mayhem But that's assuming you'll find someone who will play them The RSI takes hold At least we build into the climax Preparing the main theme back in the tonic A counter melody is common But soon we come across a problem All these Lieder sound the same They are doppelgangers The final statement may seem familiar But now the cadence is interrupted The central motif gets expanded into yet more suspensions Dramatic ending
