A challenge!

[Deleted]

Hello one and all!

Here is a fun challenge for every one to work towards. You can spend as much time on it as you want, any orchestration and any time limit, but your brief is this -

:Write a two movement piece, the first portrays a jolly little Squirrel, and the 2nd a grumpy old Bear!


You can post and ask anything you like here, and as always you can comment on others work and exchange ideas as well.

This is an idea for a composition I've had for a while, so I thought, why not share it, and see what every one else can come up with! As always, have fun!, and I look forward to hearing what you guys come up with.

All the best!

Hi Jamie,

does it has to be a 2 movement piece or is it okay to do a 3 movement thing?

Here is the story behind:

A squirrel is collecting food for the winter. 1st movement

The bear is trying to get some honey from a much too high hanging beehive. 2nd movement

Unfortunately the bear is standing on the squirrels hideout of food while trying to get honey.
The challenge (squirrel) is to make the bear move to hide its nuts. 3rd movement

What do you think?

Yeah that sounds really cool, the two movements was just a very basic idea, limiting it would only constrict creativity. Go wild!

I'm really intrigued how this will pan out.

the following remark I know is TOTALLY uncalled for but, couldn't you just put trousers on the squirrel and call it a day? Apologies to all but SUCH a straight line deserves a response. ;D

lol - oh my god, what have I done.... sorry, or in other words - you are welcome....

I'm intrigued Jamie. If I can get myself into the right place, I'll give it a go. Afterall I live in the woods and certainly have squirrels.

Hi Jamie,

is it a 3 movement-thing now so that the squirrel and the bear will have a political correct interaction in the 3rd movement?

I shall leave you with the choice of having it a three movement or a two movement. If you feel you can express more with three then who am I to say no! If you feel that three is too much, then put your feet up as you don't have to if you don't want to.

How is this one going?

I have a few ideas down, but its a matter of getting time along side everything else I am doing to get any of it done. I'm currently bogged down with another essay so this will have to take a back seat whilst competition and college pieces are out of the way.
