Phases

I thought I would share my final project for my theory and composition course, intended for a contemplative short film with no dialogue. Instruments used: Alaska Sweeps, Mellow Grand Piano, Sad Strings, Drawbar Flutes, all from HALion Sonic. Around 1 minute I made use of retrograde, but otherwise the melody is free of elaborate development techniques.

Please let me know if there is any way I could improve this track in a strictly compositional sense. 🙂

 

An atmospheric piece---

  I really think it could be well served by a second linear voice as counterpoint/countermelody to the violins after the initial minute or so. (viola?  Cello?)

   This wouldn't break the mood established but add an interesting element---

Hello Rich!

Thank you for taking the time to listen. I think a countermelody would be a great idea. I have the cellos on the bottom part (there are no basses) so I would probably add a viola line. It would give the piece more of a dramatic arc, maybe.

Thanks again for your kind and helpful comment!
