Title: Best Songs A-H
Post by: The Critic on 2005-04-03 03:31 AM
I reviewed a large number of songs by people who met the following criteria 1. Had last names beginning with A-H 2. were born from 1980 up.
1. Kevin Frost's Amster Dance. It's only song to get a 9
2. John ho's Alla Marcia.
3. Kevin Frost's Ballad on High. Kevin you need to write more
4. Daniel Evan's Spring. It's short but I love it
5. Mark Anderson's 3-d sonata Second Movement
6. Stephen Johnson's Reminesence.
7. Maxime Leduc's L'Ange Dechu.
8. Christian Grantz's Cello Sonata Fourth Movement.
9. Mike Anderson's Random Thoughts.
10. Thomas Hovgaard's Country Dance.
This was not a complete survey, I didn't check every song (Though I did check every composer) so please, tell me if I missed something. These are all great songs, check them out and post what you think of them.

For those of you wondering what The Critic is referring to, the Noteworthy Scriptorium (http://nwc-scriptorium.org) is a user-driven repository of many (over a thousand) NWC files, including many pieces written by NWC users.

I think it is great that The Critic has raised their profile with a top ten (of A-H at least). We'd been considering a "best of" page for a while, but wondered how to go about it fairly.

2 Things just occured to me 1) neither Johnson nor Leduc are A-H names 2) I did A-L in the review.
sorry

These are all very nice pieces.  I particularly like the melodies in Johnson's Reminiscence and Frost's Ballad. Random Thoughts does some very neat stuff and its very relaxing.  I think its great that the critic has come up with this list.  Keep it up.

for what Andrew said, a fair way to decide songs for a "Best Of" page would be for some one to nominate a piece and then have people vote on it
