  2. Hi there, The operative word was "could". Does not mean there will be. But could be. And that depends on the budget. Even Indie studios can have live musicians (see silk song).
  3. That can be difficult if the Scoring Program cant "Keep-Up" with an EXTERNAL midi-Import file. Having a Live Orchestra play your Compositions must very nice and fulfilling . but then what ?........................ For producers like me , its a Dead-End............because it cant be taken any further. Regarding Total-Costs to be paid out to Additional Musicians, Budget restrictions may be a priority, when it comes to paying either: 1: One producer 2: A dozen musicians and also the Re-Editing involved in the Final-Cut, has be taken into consideration that would take more time to Re-Score.....than to post-edit via computer Time is Money.................
  4. Today
  5. This is partial correct. However, in media works, there could be musicians involved. Ergo: why not make sure your demo and your score is ready?
  6. Submitting the "Closing credits" Theme + pdf and Midi Files If anyone has the solution to one of the MuseScore "Page-Cutoff" Issues , please let me know as i have no power to correct this: CITY LIFE closing Credits.mp3 CITY LIFE closing Credits.pdf CITY LIFE closing Credits.mid
  7. I am trying to do what some of the late romantic composers did in their time: Keep refining even after a work have been published to improve the piece further. (Mahler, Liszt, Bruckner and others did this) Any critique is welcome. I refined and changed a few sections in the piece even re wrote some parts. While some sections stayed the same. Thanks in advance. revisit warborn work in progress.pdfWarborn version 2 wip re write title 05-04-2026 newest - Flow 1.mp3
  8. "If you were to hand you score an orchestra, they will say no thank you. Step one is creating a polish craft." Your Fixation for a perfect pdf Score....is not going to help you, when submitting a composition to a TV Network, for an Intro-Outro Theme, or even a Film-Movie Main Title. I doubt very much if any Executive producer, is going to request a Pdf Score as most people cant read Music. Hes only going to be interested in how YOUR composition will FIT into HIS view of how the music will enhance the complete Final Production. https://www.screenskills.com/job-profiles/browse/unscripted-tv/editorial/executive-producer-unscripted-tv/
  9. Any one else experiencing these issues ? https://musescore.org/en/node/355007
  10. Hi there, There are programs that users on this forum that create scores; they are finale, dorico, sibeluis. And heck I will toss MuseScore into the mix. On a serious note: If you were to hand you score an orchestra, they will say no thank you. Step one is creating a polish craft.
  11. Yesterday
  12. This is actually written as a quintet. The reason why there are so many staffs there are to accommodate the different percussion sound fonts for each set up only five players needed.

  15. This is quite charming! I would love to see a score of the parts that are orchestrated. If I had no context and turned on the radio and this was playing, I would've honestly thought this was a Strauss waltz. That's probably my biggest gripe with this. I think it's suppose to be an homage to the Strauss Viennese Waltz, but it lacks originality or a unique take on the genre.
  16. Oh my goodness yes... I'd have to look again. In preparation for the project, I looked up "orchestration books", and it came up in one of the PDFs I found, and I took a screenshot. I have no idea where it came from.
  17. Hello there. Let me provide you a clear review of the first movement. First, you have clear sense on motive creation and how to work with it. I see no issue with that. Secondly, I feel with this sonata belongs to baroque period in the way it uses the motive thorough out. For if this way sonata in the classical style, there would be clear sense of period of sentence form with the primary theme followed by transition that modulates to secondary theme. However, you use the basic idea as way to transition to second theme, which is unique. That is why I think it fits more with in Baroque style (A la Scalati and Bach). I appreciate the modal harmony! That is refreshing to hear vs the functional tonal harmony as a standard. Hence, that is why I also thought it was Baroque. The ending of the made of think late baroque, too.
  18. In your comment following my score analysis last week, you sent photos of an excerpt from a book detailing some orchestration stuff. Kvothe was asking if you know what book the photos were from.
  19. ComposaBoi changed their profile photo
  20. Last week
  21. Seeing as my schedule will open up in the next few weeks, I suppose I will participate :)
  22. The output is fantastic, you did a great job with the production quality. But when you post in these forums though, please be mindful and respectful of other people's critiques or opinions. Unless you specifically tell us otherwise in your post, you are essentially inviting us to be critical. And @Kvothe 's observation about your sheet music is 100%. It's clear you sequenced this in some other program though, and it appears you are using MuseScore for the output of the sequenced output. This would explain the engraving issues. With that said, the music itself, is beautiful! It instantly brings me back to the 80s!
  23. This piece of music did it’s a really good job, capturing the quietness and beauty of the given landscape. It’s not really my cup of tea, but it’s relaxing and it gives the atmospheric feeling that you’re actually there. Melodic material. 7.5 Chords and texture 6.7 Structure 7.4 Originality 8.2 Engraving 9.7 Orchestration and playability 7 Execution 9.86 taste 5.2 Total 7.69
  24. I would check out this out: The mist and this: Waltz Those only two pieces. There are other solo piano pieces on here. So stop now while you ahead. I have concert next week! Do you?

  26. Very Good Well Done You've Set a Standard that's Hard to compete with.... By using only 3 Instruments, you've been able to create an inspiring, "MOOD".
  27. This is my submission for the Landscapes competition. For my landscape I have chosen this photo I took a few years ago while on vacation on Whidbey Island, which sits on the Puget Sound near Seattle. It's written for Oboe, Bassoon, and Harp. I wanted to capture the quiet, stillness of the moment with music that is very simple and delicate. Morning On Whidbey Island.mp3 Morning On Whidbey Island - Score.pdf
