[Orchestral] Chronicles of My Past

Featured Replies

Greetings again my composer friends! Here is one of my more complex pieces that I've written. Undertaking a big orchestral score is quite the challenge, so I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on improving songs like these. Enjoy!

Wow that's a cheerful past.

I never wrote any complete piece for a full scale orchestra,

so I can't tell you how to improve it,

but I comment just to let you know that I listened and enjoyed,

because I don't like it when people leave a post of mine empty.

String voicing in the beginning is a little weird. You start on an add2 chord, resolve to a 1st inversion chord, then continue to an open fourth. It's just a little non-continuous.
The chord progression in the next section was very nice.
The harp section was nice too, just a little bare. It was nice to hear some additions, but I think know what you were going for and it needs a little more. Light percussion could do wonders here.
I'm also finding it hard to understand your rhythm sometimes, especially in the main section.
The solo piano section could fix some voice leading since the way it is it's a little too centered on free counterpoint.
Good work overall!
