The Forest Of Dreams

Hi again!

I'm back with my latest composition, which I started sequencing this week.

Have used all my favourite resources: Dream Pad synth, choir, vibraphone, alto flute and English horn (cor anglais).

Trying to conjure up the magical atmosphere of a beautiful woodland scene.

Not sure where to go next, but maybe a grand statement of the theme, with string orchestra, brass and choir together?

This is what my main theme sounds like arranged for sting orchestra and brass.

I quite like it.
So now I need to write a linking section leading into this, and an ending.

Hey Alex,

I like both your versions of it! The first one is more magical like the magical forest Papageno stayed in, whereas the last one is grand. Your cor anglais in around 0:40 and autoflute in 1:50 is beautiful. Maybe adding triangles there will make it more magical! The clarinet in 2:20 is great too! I always like your woodwind usage. Maybe you can try an orchestral variation like those by @PeterthePapercomPoser and use the first one as the announcement of the themes and the subsequent ones as variations.

Thx for sharing!

Henry

Many thanks for your review Henry. I do love my woodwind!

I think adding triangles is a good idea. Would use crotales; but I don't have any.

Have had to add a bass flute and bass oboe to my instrumentation, because I've written too low for the alto flute and cor anglais.
