For the last three years I've been taking a Batchelors degree in Music. In my final year I chose to specialise in performance and compostion and wrote a variety of pieces.
Eight months on I was just listening to them again and I thought they would be OK to share on the tubular.net forums. I seem to have a greater sense of confidence for showing my abilities, so expect a few more submissions in time.
One of the stronger compositions I wrote was an unusual trio for Classical guitar, Harp and Cello. Getting started was the hardest part, but I came up with the basic tango theme and developed its motifs to create the rest. It was very loosely inspired by Luciano Berio's Sequenza for Guitar in some of the harmonies, but the title has nothing in common. If my Spanish dictionary looking up skills are correct, Sequencias is the Spanish for strings which is what combines all three instruments.
I did try and get it performed and recorded as the course demanded it. However, I could never get everyone there at the time I had and it sounded very rough and hurried. I tried to get the computer playback to be as faithful and realistic as I could and I don't think it's that bad.
I have an mp3 to listen to and also a full notated score of it. I couldn't view it in Firefox, but you might be able to view and play it back using the Scorch browser plugin from http://www.sibelius.com/products/scorch/index.html
