dbzfreak2 Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I have no idea what to call this, but this is a spawn of an idea that came to me recently and I'm hoping it turned out well.

maestrowick Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 1) put a Tempo on your score 2) Separate your wind parts 3) The Score drastically needs Rehearsal marks (I use blocked measure numbers) 4) Your harp scoring needs to be tweaked. Meas. 164 should probably be in octaves so one can hear it. that melodic line afterwards: the way you wrote would be better served with cross hands. I would write A5 for the right, the next three notes in the left, and the next three notes in the right so the DOWN beat is the last thing played in a hand. 5) There are times where your transitions are static. More the line on the vertical as the horizontal. Keep the countermelodies going to push the music forward. 6) a little petty but a chamber orchestra would have a C trumpet. Side bar: I always have both parts regardless of score :) You obviously have a sound in your head which is AWESOME. Although this piece has a great cinematic flair, build also from high and low. Really look at Williams, Strauss, and Wagner how they used counterpoint but it's still melodic and flavorful. My $0.02 Quote
Markus Boyd Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I am find myself ever so slightly amused by people when they post works that they claim to be a mere "spawn of an idea", without a title or any sense of direction, yet is clearly a well considered work for a large orchestra that could almost certainly not be composed purely in a whim. As maestrowic has said, this is very much like a cinematic score, and to me it does have a considerable amount of purpose. So perhaps you can talk to us about it a little more. Quote
