Ferrum Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Hello! This is the "vocal piece" that I was talking about! Its for soprano, string quartet, woodwind quintet and harp. Of course it's going to be a full song cycle in the future, but as of right now, this is the only one that is finished. For context, most of these songs are going to be from the series "Dark Dice" (by Fool and Scholar Production). However, I am planning to do original compositions on the texts from the series as well. As for this song, it is one which a character (Glom)'s mother used to sing when he was small. It is used in a scene where her sister (Gaelle) started to sing the song in his mind through a spell as he was starting to sleep. As always, I appreciate the feedbacks and hope you enjoy.

PeterthePapercomPoser Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Hi again @Ferrum! I love the Dorian flavor of this song! I think you really lean into the awesomeness of the main theme in this piece. The quiet portions of the piece (right before 3:00) really prepare the listener for the following excitement and intensity which you execute beautifully here. That middle portion after 3:00 is my favorite because you explore some more distant harmonic areas while still staying true to the original melody. Great job and thanks for sharing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I heard the original song for the first time, I knew that I had to lean more on the mode. You might've also noticed that I was switching between Dorian and Melodic since they're so similar. 23 hours ago, PeterthePapercomPoser said: I think you really lean into the awesomeness of the main theme in this piece. I really love the main theme. So yes, you're correct!

I'm glad that you feel the same way as I do because I plan to explore more of the other songs' themes in this way, each with a different twist of course. Appreciate the feedback and thanks for commenting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis really nails the theme here and I'm glad that I was able to expand and explore his theme(s) so that I can bring it/them to a much further potential. And I'm glad you like my orchestration too! Thanks for the feedback! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
