Samuel Tang Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 As a religious person myself, I encountered different spiritual warfare everyday and one day I tried to create the warfare with music. I ended up writing a string orchestra piece with some interesting harmonies and repetitive melodic shape. I think I'm starting to discover my kind of harmony which is great, hope you all enjoy this 🙂 MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu paint > next PDF paint - Full Score 1 Quote
Luis Hernández Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Nice job Interesting harmonies. Sometimes the crescendo-explosions remind to Richard Strauss (Metamorphosen). I think all the parts and developments are justified. I would go over the legato-slurs (I prefer to writ "legato"). Also, those double stops in the double bass ... I think they're very hard. 1 Quote

I was going to say the same, but maybe it's implied divisi? With that said, I liked this one. I think you would get a better effect if you gave the cello/viola some of the content of the bass. Harmonically I felt like there were some clashes, but it could be an orchestration thing idk. Overall, nice work! It's obvious you gave this one a lot of attention; I love the generally clean score. I'm excited to hear more from you and how your sound develops! 1 Quote
PeterthePapercomPoser Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 The remarks regarding the contrabass double stops above standing ... I liked this piece. You actually wrote a pretty good transition back into F major from the D major area near the end. It didn't sound forced. Quite a chromatic piece. 1 Quote
