I'm happy and annoyed :(

[nuntius]

A short ballad(at the bottom) i wrote got played at a school service in a church infront of about a thousand people today.

cept it wasn't how i intended

i only wrote a minute and 11 seconds of it and never scored out the second section (its for piano 2 violins and a cello).

my music teacher said i'll give it to one of my best A level students to re arrange to make it longer and she fukked it up and im really not happy with it.

strange thing is everyone liked it but it p1ssed me off because she took it apart, didnt change any melodies just lengthened it... instead of having the violins and piano playing the melody at the same time she had individual "verses" of each which made it sound thin and basically took the "feeling" out of it.


i dunno why im ranting on but im pretty annoyed that it got "wrecked" since it was the first full score i wrote and it meant a lot to me and to have someone else change it is kinda hard to deal with...

im happy though that my music teacher thought enough of the original idea to have it played infront of everyone though, since thats never been done before at my school

Re: I'm happy and annoyed

You're 16 and you've got people playing your music (albeit badly).

No-one has ever played any of my music (badly or otherwise).

So you aint doing too badly.

Re: I'm happy and annoyed

Just think of it as a cover or a tribute. Know that you can do it better.

Re: I'm happy and annoyed

Think of it like this: you've just gotten a taste of what record company producers having been doing to artist's music for years - to make it "marketable".

You'ld be amazed at how many of your favorite songs are not what the original artist intended.

Re: I'm happy and annoyed

lol if thats the case i hope if i ever get a producer hes a lot bigger and scarier looking than i am otherwise i'd probably kill the guy

i dont mind critiscism telling me what to change etc i prefer it when people do actually coz then i know when im going wrong

but having someone correct it for you just doesnt feel right
