Fantasia Finale

Well done I really enjoyed.It sounds very fresh and your orchestration techniques are very good.I heard all your works and this is my favourite.What libraries you are using???

This is actually really good! Very enjoyable and great orchestration!!!

Thank you very much for the praises. I am using the EWQL Symphonic Orchestra.

I left a pretty lengthy review for your other work, so if I'm more brief on this one then I hope you'll understand.

The orchestration is lovely, and the ideas you have are quite refreshing. I'm still a little unclear as to the purpose of the piece, and maybe because I'm listening to this work in the "Game and Film Music" forum instead of an Orchestral or Large Ensemble forum where concert works are more commonly posted, I might be confused.

When you upload your file, I'd suggest adding a brief statement that tells us what you have in mind for the work. This way, if it deviates from what I might expect to hear I know what you intend for the piece and can offer better feedback.

Keep writing because you're presenting your music ideas clearly and succinctly. I've enjoyed your works and hope you'll keep posting more.

This sounds pretty impressive. Lovely harmonies once again, and boy, do I wish I was as good.

This puts me in the mindframe of Flight of the Bumblebee. Quick with runs up and down the scales. The second half is more subdued, as though it's walking around and flies off again in the big wide world. Overall a extremely enjoyable piece :) Also, did you use Sibelius - if so, that sounds more awesome than it already is!!!

This is great! There are parts that make me think this would fit well in a Tim Burton film.

I am highly impressed with your orchestration. Excellent job!

You write well for woodwinds, flutes in particular. I will just for myself when I say this, but I think the woodwinds are the most underscored section in most compositions I hear; especially the clarinet. You have done an excellent job here.

I cannot find much to criticize. I particularly like your use of contrast, both in style and instrumentation. Orchestration and contrast are two very important elements to me.

Also, good work with the sound libraries.

I have to wonder, did you compose a lot of this in real time through your keyboard, or did you actually write it out as you went? This is a good mixture of concert and film writing technique in one - the material flows very nicely and your themes and textures are potent and recogisable. A great big hoorah for you, I like this! The decent mock-up helped. ;)

Great job! Sometimes it reminds me the John Williams Harry Potter's soundtrack, isn't it?

That's a really good one! Loads of brilliant ideas and great orchestration! Truly impressive. The first half reminds me of John Williams, the second one is a bit like Danny Elfman's Serenada Schizophrana. Murr was right, when mentioned Tim Burton's films . I'll listen to this piece more carefully and maybe write you something more intelligent...

Very cool ideas! I'd like to see a score for this!

Hi ivosousa,

This was a fun piece, I enjoyed the richer-than-usual writing and flair for themes. There's good progression, smart development, and it's interesting enough that it kept my attention throughout. My problems with it are mainly focused on the production side of things — you're not making optimal use of your samples.

First of all, every instrument sounds like it's sitting on top of each other and is the same distance from the listener like some orchestral totem pole. This is of course not how a real recording sounds and it kind of kills the convincingness of your sound. I felt that the brass parts were the weakest in terms of production values...the brass legato portions are really spiky and disconnected. You're going to want to polish them a bit. The strings and woodwinds are sounding especially nice though, so good work on those.

Otherwise a great little piece, keep it up!

wow. absolutely amazing work. I love the time signatures and rhythms used. Especially the part at 0:45. Amazing stuff.

Thank you. pardon to all, my English is more or less. I am still studying this language.

OH my god! What a pleasure to listen to

Beautiful !!!.

wow!

i think some of us younger composers should take this piece into consideration-so much detail!

Great piece amazing job, the entire piece wowed me. And great use of the percussion, haven't heard someone use it like that in a while, as a percussionist myself, I'm impressed. Well I guess I really need to practice now. How in the world can I get that good :happy:.

This highly detailed fantasy piece is nothing but excellent!
