Music for Pruskvia

[Liudvikas Kirsch]

*ahem*

In 1789, the great Pruskvian composer Wilhelm van Keirlslund (Viliunus Kailsshlassat, Germanized by Wachensburg) began a sordid love affair with one Mathilde de l'Avignon. He wrote her a great symphony, only to be scorned by her on the symphony's debut night. That symphony was destroyed, and in its place, in 1792, he debuted "Mathilde's March"--a two minute two-part string, brass, and wind quartet meant to tell the world of the evils of Mathilde de l'Avignon.

Here it is, for all to enjoy as a part of Pruskvian culture....even though I wrote it. =P

Mathilde's March

[Otto Von Roth]

wow... well done Tauvagas!

That was rather impressive! I am very surprised as to how well done that was for what it was.

So how did you go about composing it? What program? Because I can say that that it is catchy enough.

This shall stand out as a hallmark of all Wachensburgish Culture, and specifically Pruskvian culture in that it was the first piece of Music produced in Wachensburg, as well as in the socialist Sector for over 2 years now. It truly is an amazing work, that I believe should be honored.

Dinka, Tauvagas.

The original melody was picked out on a piano almost a year ago. (The opening sequence with the strings that carries over through the whole thing as a baseline)

When I went about actually putting it on paper, I used a program called Score Writer 2.0. It's a really easy program if you don't mind point and click ten million thousand times. Once i got the original piano part finished, I thought about putting it into full orchestra, but got stuck in a groove when I started playing with trumpet and flute parts and so I left it as a quartet.

But I tell a lie--there's a baritone saxophone helping on the bass line, so it's a quintet.

I'm actually working on two other pieces to go with this one. This one is called Mathilde's March, the next one will be Mathilde's Lament, and the third part will be Mathilde's Redemption. Together they will make Mathilde's Opus.

I'm also working on a national anthem for Wachensburg....but it's not up to my own very high personal standards, so I'm not going to let anyone hear what I have so far. All music, no words of yet. I'll let the poets do that. =D

I'm going to have to say that you really aren't bad at creating Music Tauvagas,

I believe I have heard of score writer though, is it by chance available online as freesource? or is it purchased? In either case this has inspired me to consider attempting some myself.

In either case however, I have to say that it is played brilliantly, and being short in length, doesn't hurt it in any way. I enjoyed listening to it. Not to mention it seems to embody the spirit itself of Pruskvia in many ways. (Regarding to natural sorroundings, and just general folkish feeling to it. Its hard to describe really.)

Depending on what happens we may have found our own Micronational equivalent to Wagner: Wilhelm van Keirlslund.

And I especially look forward to hearing the rest of the Opus, I do believe it would make for a very complete, as well as interesting bit of Pruskvian history. Not to mention mark us out as a nation of a truly advanced sort with a culture that others dream of attaining.

As for a National Anthem, I can say that is a very ambitious project. And that I myself had actually been considering doing such, based possibly on the Red Square Parade's "Jubilee March" But with heavier melody and with more substance. Making it a little more grand. But I have no immediate way to use it, nor to create it, thanks to a nice lack of mixers on my computer. And depending I may just relegate it to a Pruskvian National Anthem or something like that.

Especially if the Anthem should come out as well as the March you created here did.

Excellent work Komrade, It truly is a hallmark in Pruskvian, Wachensburgish, and Even Socialist Micronational history.

I may have to do something about this... (new bill anyone?)
