rhuThank you to those who have started to rate candidates in my poll of which of my musical compositions should I submit to the Shalshelet festival competition. (To clarify: you don't have to rank them or vote for your favorite: just listen to however many you feel like and rate the ones you've listened to.)
Some of you have contributed comments in your feedback, and I'd like to take a moment to respond .
• Yes, I plan to tidy up the PDFs of whichever ones I submit. But I can't afford the time to tidy them all up, and certainly not this week!
• Yes, it's a problem that the MP3s are computer-generated, not sung. That's why I'm asking whether you think they would improve my odds.
• One person pointed out that on one movement there's a bit of voice doubling, which is an artifact of the fact that it's a single movement from a larger piece and I was trying to keep the same forces throughout -- and that weakens the movement when it stands alone. That's an excellent point which I had missed. At this point, though, I think I will leave it to the judgement of you, the listeners. If you like the music but not the voicing, then rate it accordingly and explain in your comment. If lots of people say "This would be great if only..." then it will make it worth my while to re-arrange it before submitting.
If you have a chance to contribute your feedback, I'd be deeply grateful.
