Wandering Meadows

(Or would this actually be orchestral?)A YouTube friend of mine who recently started composing asked me to arrange one of his pieces in my style (I was quite honored ^_^ Another YouTuber also said I was the "god of music"! Must not...feed...ego...)This first piece here is what he gave me to work with, and the second piece here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy :) Comments/thoughts/criticisms appreciated!P.S. If there are volume/reverb discrepancies in this piece, please forgive me: my good head phones have broken, and I had to work with lousy ones that may have fooled me. If things are bad, maybe try listening with your computer speakers and not headphones.

I actually think this would go into the 'choral' or 'voice' section.

Very virtuosic harp part in the arrangement, lol. Will be reviewing when I get back from camp in a couple hours.

A true GOD would have made this even without his headphones or speakers. Heck, he wouldn´t even need a sound card, nore a computer for that matter. Im listening this on some crappy speakers atm so dont worry (for now :cool: ). Sorry that I have to say this, but I didn´t really like the music; not the original version, and neither your arrangement. Nothing to do with the arrangement itself, just didnt like it. I don´t really have an opinion on it so... please forgive me for this crappy comment :( :ermm:

I agree! Like Beethoven with some of his symphonies. He just...wrote 'em down :lol: Beethoven...was a god of music :mellow:

I'm sorry you didn't like it :dunno: Your opinion's fine, and your comment isn't crappy, haha. I guess sometimes things just rub people the wrong way.

Thank you both for your comments :)

Let me first say that I only like part of the composition, up to measure 8 or so, that is the part where the bells are playing alone. The rest of the composition gets monotonous after a while, and perhaps that is about the most important criticism I have regarding the orginal one.

With regard to your arrangement ... Let me first say that you understand and know the orchestra, but your arrangement leads up to the same point of criticism as the original composition. In your arrangement there are some parts where I really liked the way you use the orchestra, but either the composition is too limited or you had to evolve in your orchestration to obtain the necessary punch to keep the listener on going.

Kind regards

I guess the minimalism is a little thick in my arrangement :lol: Thank you for your criticism, I'll see what I can do about this :)
