Alex Weidmann Posted Monday at 07:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:23 PM (edited) Hi everyone. Have more or less finished composing this now; though I might tweak the ending a little. It's for a large wind band, and I've posted it before in the incomplete section. The piece represents a dawn chorus in an African jungle, with the animals waking up one by one, each represented by a different instrument. The saxophones are mischievous monkeys, the castanets woodpeckers, the oboe is a snake, the piccolo represents birdsong, etc... I wonder how effective it is in creating the tone picture I was aiming for? I'm not sure I've got the right order for the instruments in my score, but I went with the MuseScore setting for a concert band. Not certain what instrumentation I should recommend: so any hints on that would be helpful! Perhaps I should add some more breath-marks, or make some tweaks to the time signatures? Also not 100% sure how solo/tutti indications work in a wind band. Do they assume tutti unless otherwise indicated?
