20545069.mp3 Never Forget Reimagined.pdf Greetings and Salutations, once again! Back when I was getting my feet wet, again, with composing, my first full orchestra arrangement was this one. Since I've been practicing getting this stuff right again, I took the liberty of revisiting this old arrangement of mine, of a Halo Trilogy OST track, named "Never Forget" by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori (geniuses by the way) I also recently found out how to use VST plugins with MuseScore 4, so I could swap out some of the more "digital" sounding, integrated MuseSound VSTs (Which are far from lackluster, to be fair, just have some minor quirks that many people including myself don't particularly enjoy about the playback audio), like, for instance, the Trombones and French Horns having their Tinny or overpowering playback sound, and the Piano playback sound genuinely lacking in depth. I've swapped out these voicings for Spitfire VST sounds, and I believe they sound much better, but that's up to interpretation of the listener 🙂 For this piece, the original composition is written in G Major. I've taken it down to F# Major, to give it a darker tone. I've also used elements from both the Halo 3 Track by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, as well as the "Never Forget (Midnight Version)" Composition by Kazuma Jinnouchi, written for the Halo 4 Soundtrack, to create something a bit more fresh in it's sound. Hopefully I hit the nail on the head, but that's not up for me to judge. Let me know your thoughts on this. I did not download any sheet music to complete this. I did this all from scratch on a new score, taking notes while listening to both of the original compositions mentioned above, and, note for note, did what I do with music 😅🤣 Hopefully you all enjoy it! Thanks in advance for any feedback or kind reviews. -
Hello! I am writing for my high school symphonic band and I am in dire need of feedback because I havent matured enough as a musician. Please do give all that you can! -
Have just re-orchestrated this work to send to a chamber orchestra later this year. I cut around 50% of the material, and got rid of all the exotic instruments I had in my original version. Also made a new rendition, using MuseScore 4 this time. N.B. I've noticed MuseScore tends to add lots of portamento lyrico in the strings, even when it's not indicated in the score! Have attached two pdfs, the first shows the version I'm planning to send to the orchestra, and the second shows all the tweaks I had to make to produce a nice rendition on MS4. Had to completely exaggerate the dynamics on the woodwind and brass, as the strings were outplaying everything else, and drowning them out (especially the 1st violins). Also added a lot more hairpins, to avoid the very jarring sudden changes in dynamic that MS4 is prone to. Plus I added some accents, and blended orchestration (doubling) to bring out key moments. Now I've done that, will go back to my master version, and duplicate some of the changes (though not the exaggerated dynamics). Anyway hope you like the rendition, think it's one of my better ones. -
Hello again, I am returned for a bit from my inactivity period, with a question that I hope will be interesting for you. But first, some context: I am playing Legend of the 5 Rings with a few friends. This is a table top rpg that's based in a fantasy world that takes after a lot of asian mythology, mainly japanese, chinese. I want to give it a try to compose some music that sounds like it belongs in it, but MuseScore has so many instruments that I have a hard time choosing which ones to use. Do you have any tips on what instruments you like to use or would use when composing something to sound Asian? Thanks in advance! -
Pieces for Pianoforte Op. 21 No 2 - Pastorale This is the 2nd piece of a collection of piano pieces I am slowly writing. The 1st piece, I wrote many years back. I only now finally found the motivation to write for the 2nd. Let me know what you think. This is a digital rendering using MuseScore3. -

Has anyone else ever composed for organ using MuseScore? Notes aren't always playing back in the correct octaves, but I can't figure out what the pattern is. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't. I don't know if this is a bug. (Free software, so there are some bugs.) Or if there is some feature to adjust stops that I'm accidentally triggering somehow that is fiddling with the octaves. (Accidentally altering playback to 12' versus 32' "shake the building to a pile of rubble" octave pipes…) Anybody else run into this problem? I can just compose the whole thing in the piano setting for the sake of getting my chords voiced the way I intend, but then I'm missing the strong sustained sound an organ gets you, and it all feels very dinky. This is a nice bombastic organ fanfare.
