Sinfonía Romántica (Mov. I)
maestrowick replied to Luis Hernández's topic in Orchestral and Large Ensemble
That lovely fugue/canon you have at "B" might be better served if the basses weren't by themselves. Although I'm slightly perturbed at no trombones in this piece, this can really be a fine piece. I agree with Gustav Johnson about what he said about those dissonances.- 15 replies

Concerto in E for violin and orchestra, 2nd mvmt
maestrowick replied to AdamKulju's topic in Orchestral and Large Ensemble
Fix those divisis in the beginning. They are unnecessary. Just split it between the two sections -
Alto Sax Concerto, Caliburn - Movement 2
maestrowick replied to Epoch's topic in Orchestral and Large Ensemble
1) Horn goes AFTER trumpets in band scores. Double the horn with alto saxophone since most high schools might not have four horns. 2) The Euphonium, although it can go that low, is muddy in that register and most schools might not have a four valve. Take that up an octave. 3) In this case, present a transposed score, not C Score. 4) Although not standardized, put the soloist in the middle or above the timpani. 5) Don't write for your trumpets on one staff for concert music; split them. 6.) Don't double the soloist with the same instrument. You'll be hard press to find that in solo literature in the canon 7.) Watch your phrasing in the solo. Need some legato phrasing. If you're implying tonguing, I believe that will make this very unmusical. 8.) This is a good start. This movement is far from over. You can develop this another 3 minutes at least. Be careful not to just write on your horizontal plane but think vertically also. It needs that to make this a stronger piece. My $0.02 -
Interesting. I like it. might even love it. I think I want it to have the full orchestra and not just strings but I get why you did that. I would love to hear this with all the different colors though. Yeah, I might love this...

The String Quartet makes up of three melodies I have used before I orchestrated them for Symphonic Suite No. 1. five movements: 1) Chorale and Prelude 2) Webern (2:28) 3) Cantabile (4:05) 4) Giacoso (6:11) 5) Gigue (7:23)

Man, this is the start of something beautiful. This starts as a american style march. I think it's DYING for either that recapitulated A section to either be in a different register or added counter melodies. Something needs to be different. The modulation to Ab needs to be notated and the Coda needs to be MOLTO BRILLIANTE! It's missing that final stab. you tweak this, this could be a standard! My 0.02.

My Dramatic ensemble compositions
maestrowick replied to Eddy67716's topic in Orchestral and Large Ensemble
Not really dramatic: It does flow however like video game music. (nothing is wrong with that) 1) Write the strings for full orchestra, not violins. 2) with the aforementioned, make sure you write "divisi" so they know how you want it played (if you wanted that) 3) Your piano part seems more improvised than an actually melody. If that is the case then write the changes so the pianist knows. -
