Again, please keep in mind about the theme. This month's theme is "Love Theme." The composition must not only sound good to your ears, but must also showcase the theme as much as possible.

You can vote AND leave comments.

Good luck to all participants! Thank you for keeping this contest alive!

Selinity's "Without you on my side"

Somehow I find this false sounding. I didn't connect it with a love theme either, but that's just me.

Alfonso de Sabio's "Autumn Waltz"

This didn't sound as a love theme either, but I liked the overall sound of it. Nothing special, imo.

Al's "Alone"

Gorgeous, well played and performed. A good melody line with good lyrics. Sounds more like a love theme than most other songs in this CMA, but it still didn't make me think of love, heh.

Gnomish's "The Nymph beside the Lakelet"

Reminded me more of a love theme, which is good, but didn't have as good melody as the others. Some parts better than others, it never lost my interest.

michael's "Cindel's Theme - Pangalawang Pagkakataon"

Just what I expected from you. A good piano usage with a melody that sticks. This song reminded me of love more than the other songs.

~~

Conclusion: If I could choose two themes, I would pick Al's and michaels -- but that's not an option, so I chose to vote for Al. His song just sticks out from the rest, and has a great feeling to it.

[Alfonso de Sabio]

What does "imo" mean. I'm not slick with the intarnat jargon.

I liked Alphonse's piece the best. I believe it is the first of its kind on this site. But, I, being the arrant knave that I am, will still vote for myself. But, Alphonse wins, by the way.

imo = in my opinion. Sorry for not being clear X_X Anyway, good luck everyone =P

[michael]

I keep doing this!

This thread will close on Wednesday, November 10th.

Good luck everyone!

Alfonso de Sabio: I believe I already commented on this in your thread, heh.

Al: You should give up while you're ahead XD

Gnomish: Nice adaption of your nocturne to a love song.
