pateceramics Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 You've out done yourself here! The orchestration is right on for the Western topic. There were some details I heard that I wished you'd chosen for further development. This was certainly not a short work, but you have enough material here to stretch the length very comfortably. One minor detail: you could have taken a little more of a grand pause between sections (the transition at the beginning of the ice and snow section stood out in particular as a bit rushed). Great variation of mood and tempo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken320 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 I'm not sure the places you're talking about. Could you give me some @ tmes please. Thanks! Glad you liked it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you liked it! At 8:29 for instance. You go from a fast section to a slower one, and a moment's pause to savor what just happened and set expectations of a change in mood would do well I suspect.

Ken320 Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 I see what you're saying. I think we're talking about tiny amounts of time. Maybe a second or two. Not saying it wouldn't make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it wouldn't make a difference. Yes, exactly. Just a moment of silence to set off different musical thoughts from each other and reveal the structure of the piece.

Luis Hernández Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Well I take this as a whole. I suppose it's a kind of tone poem of our times. The orchestration is beaurtiful, exquisite, and I don't hear any disbalances. Tematically interesting and emotive, too. I love this work.

Ken320 Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Thank you, Luis. It is more enjoyable if you take it as a whole. Although the music was written a year before the video was added. A recent trip to Wyoming inspired me to marry the two. People measure distance by the hundreds of miles out there. It's too big to express in a photograph, but adding music helps.

Ken320 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 You know, Maggie, I've been thinking about what you said about rushing. I hear it now in several places where a cadence is not given its due. Christ ti's all over the place! Oh boy. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

If it gets performed, I suspect the conductor would just go ahead and stretch the time in those places, even if it's not spelled out in the score.
