DanJTitchener Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 A two minute score for chamber, written to accompany underwater and coastal footage. Hope you like it! These are fun to put together 🙂 Would welcome any and all feedback!    PDF Underwater score - Full Score 1 Quote
Monarcheon Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 What's up with your score... everything is in treble? Return of the A section I feel should have some more identifiable distinguishing features, or else it just sounds flat compared to the section before it. First inversion CTA's in the end in the bass are a bit... shallow sounding. Also bII to I in the beginning could probably be helped out by a better dominant-based voice leading, especially since the solo instrument jumps up to the major third. Pretty nice overall, though. Quote
DanJTitchener Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 Hey, thanks for listening and for the feedback. I'll address a few of your points: Yeah, the score is a bit off, agreed. I typically switch clefs if a large section of an instrument's material is above or below their normal clef, however sometimes I may have forgotten to switch them back once their music is back in the normal range. I don't disagree with the return of A, but do feel that, as this is intended as a score for the visuals, the video contributes a fair bit to the changes in mood, allowing more sudden changes in tone than if this was simply programmatic music. As for voice leading in the beginning, you're right: this is a new style for me, and the more abrupt harmonic shifts cause their own problems, which I'm not yet used to solving!  14 hours ago, Monarcheon said: What's up with your score... everything is in treble?
