RaphaelWalsh Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Hi all, Here is a short piece I composed over a day or too for Strings. Feedback/Question/Criticisms are all welcome! -R https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-vs0RlK8Aw Edited July 2, 2018 by RaphaelWalsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Hernández Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 It reminds me to Vaughan Williams, in the thick textures. The sound doesn't help much beacause it's a kind of shortened bowing that don't go well with legato (to my ears). Some counterpoint (countermelodies) will be good.

Maarten Bauer Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I really like the music and harmonies! Some tips: Place the flute above (not below) the strings). In general, the score needs to be looked at again regarding lay-out. Articulation would help! Why do you call this an Andante for string when it includes a flute? The flute part is very minimal, so you either could just leave it out or give it some more notes to play. In my opinion, the flute adds a nice texture to the music. As Luis said, some counterpoint cannot do any harm. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaphaelWalsh Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Thanks for your feedback everyone! @Luis Hernández Listening back, I definitely used the wrong string patch, and it really doesn't do the piece justice. I have since upgraded to LA Scoring Strings and will probably release a version with that patch. I also agree about countermelodies, I will probably revise this piece after I finish a larger project. @Maarten Bauer Appreciate the tips greatly, I'm still new to scoring and so I wasn't sure what the layout should be. @Kvothe I screenshotted parts of the score, then put them together with the track in Final Cut X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
