      Rhapsody on devText | from The Interloper Series | scoring progress

      By ferrum.wav · Posted

      hello wow another WIP?? and you havent even finished that symphonic variations and the piano suite?? well thankfully this piece is done, and i just need to fully score the thing and do some finishing touches. this is a vocal work for soprano, oboe, tenor sax., celesta, piano, violin, viola, and cello. the song is from an internet ARG/webseries, called Interloper, based around the Source game engine. i took the song's original melody and just develop the ever living fck out of it. vocal is from a voice synthesizer, singer: Sonata (http://utau.wikidot.com/utau:sonata) the form is....eh...yeah. but hopefully it's coherent. -------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION. (b. 1-121) > introduces the themes, containing three sections: 1st (b. 1-44) and 3rd (b. 97-121) sections are the same. the 2nd section (b. 45-96) is a variation/development of a motif from the previous section (the first three notes). i call it the "Look to the sky" motif, very important, appears everywhere. the oboe part of the 3rd section (b. 103) introduces the B section as a counterpoint. TRANSITION (b. 122-136), variation of intro first section. A. (b. 137-204) > pretty much the combination of the intro's three sections. vocal entrance (b. 151). 2nd section of the intro are woven and augmented between the vocal melodies. sax part at b. 180 is the B section, again, as a counter point. the vocal part sings a lot of the motif's variation.  TRANSITION (b. 205-219), same as the previous one, different instrumentation -------------------------------------------------------- and that's the end for this WIP. lemme know what ya think! (ost starts at 29:50, lyrics appear at 30:09)

      Ideas for Continuation

      By ferrum.wav · Posted

      since this part is rigid, very busy with the eighth notes, and has fragmented melody, maybe the next section could be in higher register, dominated by sustained chords, with a longer legato melody for contrast? or it could go the other direction and be very heavy, lower register-y stuff. and thenn maybe for the repetition, you could combine the two characteristics of both sections into one: having the driving force of the eighth notes while simultaneously have the underlying sustained harmony. this is just my interpretation however, just options that i've thrown spontaneously. but i hope they could help!

      Romance for Oboe, Viola, and Piano

      By ferrum.wav · Posted

      i really love the interplay between the instruments here. the way the themes and counterpoints are bounced around the three instruments is also really playful. the ending tied the piece neatly and satisfyingly. it matched the vibe of the whole piece well. it's cool how you used the two modes (mixolydian and pentatonic minor) to differentiate between the sections. i especially really like the second theme. thanks for sharing !!!
