I am Jack, a 16 y/o composer from the U.S. I have written many musical works and have had multiple performances of said works, such being a symphonic movement, a march, and other pieces. I mainly write orchestral music but also write for piano as that is the main instrument I play. My style of composition is largely inspired by late Romantic Era composers, as well as 20th century styles and harmonies.
I specialize in orchestral and piano writing. I am capable of writing jazz and videogame music and can write in different musical styles. Rachmaninoff and Bartok are two large inspirations for my work, as well as Yoshimatsu and other composers. Many of my works can be found here at Musescore, although many are earlier works: musescore.com/user/35766556

Gloria - Mass in F Major (2025)
I started writing this movement right after I finished the Kyrie, which was completed on 11/25/2024. It took from the 26th of November last year till 1/30/2024 to complete (over two months). This movement has a large quantity of text, which sometimes is repeated (like gloria, and the first bit of the text) but still (for the most part) flows linearly throughout the piece.
The movement has a few main sections, themes, and motifs. A dotted rhythm motif, often found in funeral marches, is the main motif which is shown at the beginning. Another is a rhythmic triplet motif found in the exposition.
There are numerous "themes", which can be determined by if they're developed or not in the development section. If the "theme" is never seen again, then it is a development of a preexisting theme. Some notable themes include the one at measure 19 (playing off of entrance motif), the "Laudamus te" theme at measure 30, which turns into a whole section of the piece later in the development, and the main theme of the "Allegro Vivamente" section.
The pieces form is somewhat loose, but is linked together through development and key modulation. It starts in C minor briefly, and then goes to Eb major for the main themes of the piece. The exposition goes through the "Allegro Vivamente" section, overlapping the development of the piece. The main development of the piece occurs in the "B section", of which there are two main sections: The one in E-flat (Allegro Vivamente) and the one in B-flat minor (Andante con moto, tranquillo). The coda of the piece occurs after the B-flat section. You could say it is in a very loose sonata form, or a sort of binary form. Either way, the piece (generally speaking) goes from E-flat to B-flat, and then back to E-flat for recapitulation/ending.
This analysis is very surface-level, and I'd have to write much more to express every development of every motif. Either way, enjoy. I will check the piece thoroughly again soon to rid it of any mistakes or problems.
(Final note: like usual, audio is glitchy and vocalists can only sing vowels because this is not an actual performance.)

The Honeybees Ascent - Dreamscapes (2024)
มุมมอง 152หลายเดือนก่อน
A short piece in my suite for piano in which I tried to convey the color yellow. In my opinion, the mode of Dorian suits this color best. I tried to keep the main melody relatively high throughout most of the piece, while keeping that Dorian flavor throughout. The idea of a honeybee flying around can also help evoke that yellow feeling of the piece, hence the main idea behind it. The piece is i...

A large, vast, white expanse opens up before you... This suite is an attempt at expressing different "colors" with the piano. In my philosophy, upper registers sound bright and therefore whiter. Keeping harmonies ambiguous and more major than minor helps keep that brightness of the color white while keeping away the substance of clear major and minor harmonies.

I didn't include the whole chapter, just a small amount of text from it. A short piece for Male choir set to its text.
I wrote a short march today

A nice short little march. I didn't stick to the form as strictly as possible, but it is definitely best classified as a March. The strains are shorter than would usually be, as I gave myself the challenge of writing this piece within this single day.
Kyrie - Mass in F major (2024)
มุมมอง 331หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the first movement of the mass I am currently writing. I intend for this mass to have a triumphant mood, and the whole work will be approximately forty minutes to an hour long. The vocals in the video audio are computer generated and therefore cannot sing words and only vowels. In the performance, words will be sung, and it will sound (if performed well) not as choppy as some parts in t...
You'd call this a Mass, whereas I would call it a whole damn movie! Great job mate!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words
Wow! This is really really nice. It reminds me a lot of ravel. Excellent work!
wow this is great you should do an ave maria
reminds me of indiana jones
The piece itself is interesting. Just, please find a more engaging title instead of March in Ab!!!
@lorenzozarba3350 Thanks, yes I will implement titles of my works in the future. A lot of my works I often don’t title as I feel I would misrepresent the piece itself in titling it, but some are more programmatic and therefore titled accordingly to the mood I try to convey.
great work jack
This is great, jack!
This is actually so good
Fire 🔥
such great work!
