healey.cj Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I want to know everything you can tell me about creating a good Orchestra Hit One of my favourite examples of the orchestra hit is seen very often in Stravinsky's work. As I write this I am predominatly thinking about the Firebird Suite (not sure which one) in the middle section. mmmm *Eyes glaze over* Also, Micheal Gandolfi has done a pretty good job of it (i think) in this piece: http://www.michaelgandolfi.com/II_Soliton_Waves.mp3 So, any particular way of voicing etc Chris :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nojtje Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'd say, i) figure out which pieces have orchestra hits that you like ii) get hold of the score iii) see how it's done iv) compare different voicings and the different effects they create v) use this knowledge to your advantage and adapt it to suit your own ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
