Rick Allard

Jake Allard. First prize in my category, wow! Thank you very much to the Judges on the panel of the World Melodia Championship Music Competition 🎼
This really means a lot to me, considering all the other incredibly talented Composers who were nominated as well 🎵
"Neo Capriccio (Movement 1)" is a short piece, but one that encompasses everything I love about Classical Style music. Coincidentally, it is the only string duet I have ever written.
Still, however, my Piano influence makes itself clear. Perhaps it gave it a distinct sound.
I utilized "Alberti bass", key changes, chromatic harmonized fills, and, mostly focused on flow and interconnecting the different sections.
If you enjoy that style of Instrumental Violin caprices, I recommend checking it out.
I also want to thank my Mother, who gave some helpful critiques of my first draft. Those small tweaks, I believe, really helped solidify this as a body of work that I enjoy listening to, and I hope you do too.
