Principle



The mandatory topic of this contest session is:

SATB
(Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass)

The submitted pieces have to be made of only 4 staves, each one matching a register of sung voice.

Actual lyrics or the use of Virtual Singer are optional.
Style and duration are free.
The playability (singability) of the score will be taken into account by the jury. More information here.

Exceptionally, the winners of the previous contests are allowed to participate to this session. In this case of course, they won't be part of the jury.

The competitors enable Myriad to select a chorus that would be allowed to perform their score without limitation as part of free public performances. Video and/or audio recordings of such sessions could then be freely made available on the Internet and on a CD-ROM intended for the competitors.

1st Prize

Wins an harmonica HOHNER MEISTERKLASSE (C), a Myriad USB flashdrive and will be part of the jury for the next sessions

"Very pleasant classical piece, reorchestrating Georges Brassens in the Mozart's style. Musical writing perfectly mastered.."

"Good melody rendering, steady harmonies, good orchestration, sometimes very realistic sounds for either strings, piano or brasses."

"Nice score. Style merging is well done, without ruggesness or surprise, originality in handling the topic."

"We can however deplore the lack of spatial distribution of the instruments, and the excessive length of the piece, worsened by the absence of cadences other than perfect."




2nd Prize

Wins a GOLD sound base CD, a Myriad sweatshirt and a Myriad USB flashdrive.



"Very successful adaptation of classical music. Very good choice of instruments. Remarkable introduction. A very pleasant piece to hear."

"Perfect mastering of the software and of the GOLD Base sounds: very niceuse of the instruments: guitar with great effects, bass with a remarkable round sound.
Excellent use of the sound space. Page layout is the best of all the submitted pieces
."

"If the two styles are actually present, they are unbalanced. The work is however well crafted."




3rd Prize
Meinecke Lonny for "When he smiled on Galilee"
Wins a GOLD sound base CD and a Myriad sweatshirt




"Very nice piece, nice orchestration, well mastered sounds."

"
The way of dealing with the topic is clever, by progressive fading of the Bach-style cello."

"Unfortunately, the score appearance doesn't measure up (bass staff in treble ckef, lack of phrasing indication, ...), the sound ambiance is sometimes blurred by the use of a different harmony over the Bach's one
."

"We are here on the verge of the off-topic, the classical part being a melody more than an actual style."

Some winners have answered a short set of questions.
