| Christmas Lights Hey everybody, this is the first song I've posted, so it's definitley not as good as some of the other ones on here. Still, I'd appreciate critiques. I wrote this around Christmas, and the title is temporary. Any better ideas?  |

| Hello and welcome to Music Web  The piece you have here isn't that bad. Although there are a few things I'd like to point out. Quite a few times my ears picked up a little too much Parallel harmony IMO. In most of the world of music, parallel harmony isn't widely considered a very good method of harmonizing. IMO you could stand to add some more varied harmony  Other than that, the MIDI has quite a perverted sound for the instruments that kind of destroys their potential IMO, but other than the harmony, you have a nice start Keep composing! |

| Agreed. Midi doesn't help but I didn't have too much trouble with the harmony. I quite liked the opening and the use of unisons. It hasd an olde world flavour and seemed almost game-like. It's a great start and would sound better live or with a sequencer/instrument samples than the midi allows you. Thanks for letting us have a listen. cheers, Reith. |

| Thanks for the replies. I don't really know much about writing on the computer, so right now I'm using a program called Anvil Studio. Is there anything better I can use? |

| Hello, As the others have said, its a nice piece that would be better with some tweaks I've used Anvil Studio before and its good for free For better notation programs Sibelius is the way to go , there is also Finale which seems to be popular aswell. So I recomend getting the demos and trying them out for yourself. |
