Orchestration: PART 2 (brass) discussion

Oh dear.
I did this wrong I see.
I shall make the corrections right now.

In execise 4 I was trying to create a funeral march feeling by adding a forlorn/mornful/sad atmosphere to the piece.

Sax, why is your 1st horn so low in the 2nd example you posted?

For purposes of this course, I highly recommend you use considerably simpler harmony.

@The lowness of the 1st french horn - I really do not know why I did it like that.
I will try to use simpler harmony

the reason I mention starting from the beginning of this course is that in one of the 1st sections on woodwinds (horns and woodwinds are very closely related families) I DO mention the reason for the disposition of horns in F. There are two "high" horns, and two "low" horns.

I see. Thank you.
I will go over both sections.
I started with the brass first because I only write for brass specifically right now until I can further branch out into better music programs.

I redid the excersises.

as I said, I highly suggest you use considerably SIMPLER harmony.

The goal of the course is not to amaze the other participants with your originality, but to learn how to use the instruments properly in a controlled environment.

And if you carefully reread the exercise you will notice that it says to write a short chord progression, 1 to 2 measures (that implies changing harmony on each beat for the former, or every 2 beats for the latter), and arrange it for each of the groups requested. Not write a new one for each group.
