Where can I go with this? + string orchestration tips?
This is a piece I wrote which I'm fairly happy with except that it doesn't feel complete. It just feels way too short. It has the structure of a film cue, probably because it's fairly Bernard Herrmann influenced, but the problem is that isnt a film cue. I really want to extend it, but I'm not totally sure how.... I was thinknig of maybe keeping this bit as the end of the piece, and writing backwards
Also, this is the first thing I've orchestrated for a large ensemble without it turning out dismally, but I'd like as many tips or suggestions on the orchestration as possible. There are no double stops in it, everytrhing is played divisi. I was going for a fairly dark sound. Would the fact that I have only half the first viiolins playing the melody with all the violas keep the melody's sound fairly viola-ish/"dark"?
Also, for some reason the mp bit at the end doesnt play back at mp.
