Zorro Score (1920's Film)

Ya, I would first like to clarify that this isn't really a serious piece for me :toothygrin:, hence is why this 4 minute clip I scored from an old Zorro movie is more like a music video rather than a soundtrack...

At any rate I thought it would be fun to see if I could catch that particular style, or sound that Zorro creates.

It's rather repetative which probably sticks out more in a silent film since there's no words to destract the viewer, anyhow, let me know if you think I captured the "sound". :P

I smiled when I was hearing the beginning parts. It was like a bullfighting theme lol. The part at "Keep your sword, Gonzalez" was awesome. But a few seconds before that I thought the music lost some direction. If the music there was intended to be a filler, I would rather not put any music at that part.

Another thing, I felt that the tambourines becamse a little boring by the constant use of it. Add some dynamics to the piece too, to give it variation and life.

Overall, it's a good piece. I have never saw Zorro before but it looks interesting and has some humour in it. I must say you managed to capture the style with your music, there are just some parts which need to be rethought of. :)

Thanks for commenting Nigel, some good thoughts in there...

I guess I pretty much forgot about dynamics, but when I did this it was more to try out some new instruments in Garritan (The repetitive tamborine being one of them =)

I'm glad some parts didn't sound too bad though...

P.S. I've actually never seen this Zorro either, just downloaded this clip free from the internet, felt like scoring somthing I guess. :w00t:
