Eirik Gisnås Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Hello everyone! The last week I've worked on an arrangement of a folk/trad song. It's originally called "Have you seen the ghost of tom". I find the melody quite melancolic and in the first part of the piece I try to express that feeling. But later I tried to make it brighter and more heroic like "a toast to Tom!". Anyway, that was what I was thinking of making this piece. I had a great time making this one! Any feedback or criticism is appreciated? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbival507 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I think that you've made a beautiful piece. The second part didn't really feel heroic, but it felt stronger, 1:14 is the part where people would probably burst into tears. Felt like this: https://youtu.be/eY49xEQGqMw?t=55 I like both folk music, cello and emotional pieces, your piece felt like a great combination of these elements. I had fun listening to it and listened four times before moving to other pieces. *1:26 is this a Dorian mode chord? I'm sorry I'm kind of addicted to Dorian can't ignore it when my ear hears a "brighter minor" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Unexplained Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Very insightful and awe inspiring. I love the reharmonization Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirik Gisnås Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Thank you! Rabbival, "stronger" is a much better word than "heroic" I agree. Or uplifting I guess. The dorian mode is implied both at 1.26 and 0.41. I think I used it a little smoother at 0.41 changing the mood to a more uplifting sense.
