The Riddle of Strider

A Theory 2 project from a few years ago. We were assigned to take or write a poem and set it to music. The choice of poem needed to be restricted, though, because we were only allowed 16 bars. I chose J.R.R. Tolkien's poem from The Fellowship of the Ring called "The Riddle of Strider." We had to write using classical part writing rules, and even though I broke a lot of them, they were done tastefully enough that I was only marked off 2 points. This remains my favorite 4 part writing I've done, hope y'all enjoy.

This one I was assigned to write in an asymetrical meter. Since I like writing tunes, I slowed down and tried to make this feel as natural as possible, something like "Everything's Alright" from Jesus Christ Superstar. Hope you enjoy!

Basically, the cluster chord at the beginning is the theme of the piece. I took that chord, and all the intervals inside it, and based the rest of the short piece on it.

Overall too low in my opinion. It's okay to utilize the flute's lowest register on occasion, but the flute thrives above the staff. Try adding more high-range material in the future. The flute can play up to a C7 if not even higher depending on the player.
Well done! A delight for my ears!
👌👌👌
pretty nice! love the eerie feeling! although, the contrabass has some unplayable notes, as it only goes up to E1. keep up the great work!
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the piece! Although the contrabass is not unplayable. While most basses in the Americas and many parts of Europe only go down to E1, it’s very easy to find basses that have an extension for their lowest string, allowing them to perform a C1. Rarer still, some German made basses have 5 strings, allowing the performance of a B0! While there are some borderline impossible gestures in the piece, (the glissando in the 1st violin that would have to cross strings, and the very crunchy double-stops in the 2nd violin), the bass part is not. Again, I’m glad you enjoyed the piece, and I hope you’re enjoying your day/evening. God bless.
I enjoyed it! 👍
I enjoyed it! 👍
