Dance of the Thieves' Guild

By Daisy on January 28, 2024 10:28 pm

I usually don't have any idea how things get into my scores.  This name was suggested to me by my husband Dan, -- who is a D&D miniatures painter-- and think this reminds him of something mysterious and clandestine!


Unexpected! One part reminded me of the nutcracker. My cousin is a ballet dancer and played the prince. Cool experimentation with percussion and tonality.

Fun orchestral piece! Nice wacky progressions! I like that you tagged it as atonal, it made me think. It's a bit easier to think of it as atonal and treat the melodies a bit more in a vacuum, not try to understand exactly how they fit together in some harmonic box, just as long as they sound good. But there are definitely some changes in there, and very cool ones at that! Fits the D&D medieval fantasy sound too!

Perhaps a thief planted them in there. A very dashing thief with sophisticated taste.

Definitely medieval, didn't seem "clandestine" to me - nice work!

Yes, Wacky progressions!  I like them. Thanks for you comments and for listening!

I need to get one of my offsprings to illustrate this "thief."
Thanks for listening!

Thanks!  I am my own mystery when I compose.

Thanks!  Might have been influenced by Tschaikovsy....
