TUNE CONTEST - dec 11 to 18 (WINNER ANNOUNCED)

[Nikolas]

I don't think that there is any hope that someone else will huess. We might as well let Helm tell us what the right epithets are...

[Helm]

Give it a few days.

[Damien]

Ok, here goes:

Spoiler

Nikolas: lonely
Pesty: insane
Ghormak: nervous, overexcited
Geoffkhan: in love

[close]

[Helm]

Nikolas was loneliness
Ghormak's was elation
Geoffkhan's was mourning
Pesty's was AWESOME

nikolas's 'sorrowful' for geoff's entry is sufficiently close. Nothing else is from his guesses.

geoff's 'feeling sorry for oneself' is sufficiently close to 'loneliness'. Nothing else is.

Gore is spot-on with loneliness for nikolas's entry. Also, longing and mourning are sufficiently close for geoff.

Pesty's 'sad' is close enough for geoff. Same could be said for Nikolas' entry. Again, hope or triumph or joy are not the same as elation, so no points for gore.

Damien's 'lonely' is spot on for Nikolas, and that's it.

Tallying up, we have

Nikolas: 2 spot on, 2 sufficiently close.
Geoff: 3 sufficiently close.

The winner is clear, congrats to Nikolas. I liked your piece, was wonderful to see you work within a more classical tonal framework. My favourite entry was Ghormak's, but he created problems for himself by not going with 'hopeful' or 'victorious' or just plain 'happy' for his theme. I've listened to it countless times and it gets me pumped up every time, doesn't make me feel 'elated'. I go to the bathroom to feel 'elated', jerk!

So nikolas, congrats, and the next tune compo is yours. Make it a good one.

[Gregjazz]

Yay, congrats Nikolas!

AWESOME!

[Nikolas]

Thanks everybody!

I can do tonal music! this tune contest is the proof! Thanks Helm.

I'm at the airport right now on my way to Athens... I will think about the next comp and post in a couple of days. Probably after christmas...

Merry christmas everybody
