Upon Winter's wake,
snow white drift afar,
to make a warm world quiet,
and quitely lay your hand,
upon the bundles of the earth.
Upon winter's wake,
sense of wonder,
brought out through god,tied intight with the concept of reality,
which falls under the cover,
winter has granted.
Witness the joy,
of children hundreds,
of thousands,
who play unknowingly in the prospect,
of humanities inachievement with nature,
while the watchers,
feed on the innocence created,
by the lack of knowledge,
they so willingly show.
Upon winter's wake,
waketh the joys of mankind,
but easily also,
a concept of evil,
for with Wonder,
and Joy,
comes a price.
Upon winters wake,
black ice spreads through the field,
towards the huts of all the innocent,
who haven't sinned,
nor messed with the concept,
but the ice still crawls,
every closer to the people,
as they bundle,
and await the unknown.
Upon winters wake,
Snow drift afar

At times it had a very Slavic sound, which I love. Also, this wasn 't really a contemporary peice as your page says; it's more neo-romantic. That doesn't matter though. The song is very pretty (despite the out-of-tune piano). Good job. | | Back to Top | |   young composer Composer, Pianist, Poet, Arstist, Philosopher         Date Joined Jan 2007 Total Posts : 167 | Posted 12/21/2007 8:50 PM (GMT -6) |   | | Thanks, don't listen to what the page says, I had to choose one, and at times, I'll just compose what I feel like. If you don't mind me asking, what do you think of the poem? | | Back to Top | |   Jeff N.

It's structured well and you do a good job of capturing the environments and emotions of winter. Your message is very blunt however. What I mean is that maybe you should put a little more symbolism in there, more analogies. Just a thought. I've listened to the song several times, and I see how the poem fits in. And it fits in nicely. Great job. | | Back to Top | |    Jeff N.

It's not Frost or Poe, but it's good enough. | | Back to Top | |    young composer Composer, Pianist, Poet, Arstist, Philosopher         Date Joined Jan 2007 Total Posts : 167 | Posted 12/23/2007 8:33 PM (GMT -6) |   | | Well, I used a typical, cheap microphane from GE. Then, I downloaded Audacity software. Once you have done this, (this is the complicated part,) download the LAME mp3 encoder, to turn the sound files into mp3's and put them on soundclick. (I would recommend using an online tutorial on the lame encoder.) | | Back to Top | |  | Forum Information | Currently it is Saturday, November 21, 2009 12:10 AM (GMT -6) There are a total of 9,104 posts in 1,006 threads.
