June 19, 20187 yr Okay, so before anyone listens to this, I'd like to point out that I'm not really sure how best to set up an orchestral composition with some choral work, so I apologize in advance if any of this sounds weird to trained ears. 😛 It's a fairly straightforward piece, so I wouldn't expect anything great, but I don't write works like this very often so it was fun. I usually just stick to solo piano. Hope you guys enjoy it! Edit: PDF not working, here's my noteflight score for the piece if sheet music is needed -- https://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/ce89bcbfab498471f17c918b8ea5761ff8feb55b Edited June 19, 20187 yr by Coeus Originally uploaded a PDF copy of the sheets but Noteflight is derping hard and doesn't want to show them properly. Linking my Noteflight score instead.
June 19, 20187 yr @Coeus Write a tremolo+crec. on the timpani. Some of the high trombone notes should be given to a horn or maybe even a trumpet. They're possible but difficult to perform. Really difficult. It sounded more like the final boss fight than anything else I've heard. Most of the parts at least. Sounds more intimate than epic. Especially here: I want to note that this idea is great, especially rhythmically. Also, is that a mistake?
June 19, 20187 yr Nice work! The synthetic nature of the instruments actually takes me back to the PS1 era soundtracks. I could see this being in a Castlevania game from around that time.
June 19, 20187 yr Author @Rabbival507 It is actually not a mistake. I thought that little bit of dissonance there suited where it was put, though I don't know how fitting it sounds to other people. Is it a bit too noticeable?
June 19, 20187 yr @Coeus That's completely fine, I only noticed it reading the notes. I just thought you might have put it there by mistake and would be happy to be aware of that mistake. But if it isn't keep it there. It's good to have a spicy flavor once in a while.
