Carlly Clabby Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Okay, So, there is one movement in my symphony that will incorporate the arrival and actions of the military. I would like to know, what sort of rhythms and melodies would you guys say suggests that the military has arrived and are taking care of a threat? If you listen to Steven Reineke's Symphony No. 1, New Day Rising Mvmt. 3, that is the type of feeling I want. <----The military-like melody and rhythm come towards the end; you can fast foward to that part if you want. I really need the help of fellow young composers. Thanks a lot for the help. Peace, C.L. Winston:toothygrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferkungamabooboo Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Well yeah, a march rhythm would work perfectly. I'm not totally sure what you're going for from what you've said - but there are some avenues. The first way would be hymn-like writing over th march rhythm; this should give a sort of old-timey sense. I'm not sure how you want to spin the arrival of the military, but I'd assume a level of chaos in the melody and rhythmic blasts for mortar fire or something... I'm just grasping at straws here, hope it was helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
