May 18, 201016 yr Here is a march that I made. As you can see there is a staff that says battle sound effects, well I tried putting some sound effects in but but it failed. But that is what's supposed to happen anyway. Enjoy and Please Comment. War March
May 19, 201016 yr what is the purpose of the war sounds. I can imagine this in a game/film setting, is that your intend?
May 19, 201016 yr Author Well, jrcramer, As I listened to the midi?sample rendering of I imagined battle sound going off, although wasn't my first sound effect idea for this piece. At first I wanted the sound marching going along with the 120 BPM tempo.
May 21, 201016 yr I like what you have here, but it doesn't seem complete to me! You need to expand more, a lot of the time you only have one or two instruments playing the melody, double some, add more harmonies etc. Also, I think you need to base the piece around the war sounds, not vice-versa. Great work!
April 17, 201115 yr Timpani is FAR too low! The range for an ordinary set of timpani (if using two) will be at a push Low E (First lower ledger line of bass clef) to top F (second line down of bass clef). If they are cheaper timpani then you should really be writing for F-F. In the context of your piece I would stick the bottom C up an octave. In reality your low C could be reached but you are talking a timpanist with 5 timps on a 32inch drum. These are expensive and rare. I also agree with impresario about developing your ideas.
