September Composition Challenge Voting Thread

[lurksalot]

This seems to come around quicker every month, but after the congratulations bestowed upon  @Jean-Luc Pickguard for his inaugural outright win in August, he was given the honour of choosing our September picture.

 

Thus the picture he has chosen for the month's inspiration is as follows and he muses...

 

"On the way back to London after my regular visits to Torbay, I would always see this sign on the A380 a few miles from Exeter marking the completion of the first step of my journey. It often occurred to me that 'Telegraph Hill' sounded like it might make a good topic for a song."

 

 

 

 

Here are your entries, please choose your favourite 2 and tick the boxes accordingly 

 

 

1 @Dad3353  I was waiting in the car, listening to a classical music station, when I heard a piece that brought with it visions of this picture.
It's heavily inspired by the Beethoven concerto (Opus 19...) I heard, but using a maximum of elements relating to either Up or Down. 

 

 

 

 

 

2  @Leonard Smalls  I done one too three!   Not sure what it's got to do with the pic, but this is what came out!

 

 

 

 

 

3 @Jean-Luc Pickguard  In my song, Telegraph Hill serves as a metaphor for the communication between two people, illustrating how their ability to communicate has diminished over time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4 Lurksalot  this came together quite quickly, its nothing like I was aiming at , but each bit I did, seemed to fit with the last bit and it just landed in my reaper like this. its a bit of fun 

 

 

 

 

 

5 @Wolfram  "This road's seen joy, this road has killed. Telegraph Hill haunts me still."

 

 

 

 

 

6 @upside downer  An up tempo, punky pop piece about...well, driving, I suppose. The words are a load of cobblers but at least there aren't many of them and they mostly rhyme 😁

 

 

 

 

Another most excellent selection to choose from.

 

I would suggest choosing 2 and see how it goes from there.

 

Voting will close at midnight on 30th September

That was odd, it was definitely there before, though the input fields were empty. As it's a new computer it only knows recent inputs, and as I typed them , it recognised that I had typed them before, so I must have already done it, I have no idea where it went , how bizarre!

[SH73]

Voted, but meant to vote for two fav.but total is 5 , did someone vote for one?

[lurksalot]

Yep , it appears so 

[Dad3353]

Would one of the two voters who only voted for one, please vote for one other of the current leaders, to break the deadlock; thanks in advance..?

It was late, and I'm old, tired and daft. My apologies to all offended by my unwitting mistake, and to the owners of the kittens thus harmed.
