  1. Thanks @pateceramics for showing this text to the community. This setting is supposed to be sung in a reverberant church. so the long rests are meant for moments to hear echos.

  3. I think it could become a symphony, but it would take a lot of work. You have many different ideas which you could expand into movements. Some of my tips are: Make sure the string parts are still interesting - When some people go from string orchestra to full orchestra, everything goes to the wind and the strings become a "continuo" section Make sure that you don't overuse one instrument - You have all these colours available, so why don't you use them? Remember that en masse, instruments sound very different - There are less instruments in a string orchestra, so when you orchestrate it, it could sound very different Don't use too many instruments - When orchestrating from strings, there is a tendency to think "Yay, I have all of these instruments!" and completely overdo on amounts used. Remember, you could even condense it to piano first then orchestrate it. Hope this helps aMusicComposer

  4. @millert1409 Thanks! I don't have an exact method for this. In fact, I feel much more comfortable with no classic harmonies. In the case of "Caronte y Psique", in general terms, it flows between classic tonal parts (the cadences) and other parts where the tonal center doesn't exist at all. Let's say it begins in a chord (Gm) and it ends the phrase in that chord, but in the middle functional progressions aren't used. There are many changes to transient tonal centers going up and down by mediant relationships (most often chromatic), that is to say, by thirds (mayor or minor). It happens in the picture above: Gm - Bbm - Dbm - Fbm..... rising up by minor thirds (that's why I use Fbm and all those double flats; yes I could have used Em instead, but then the mediant relationship is not represented). When I work in this background, many times the chords change just because they flow together well. I think this is how impressionism works, among other things. If you are interested here you have the score with some notes, and the harmony notated. Caronte y Psique cifrado notas.pdf
