Samuel Tang Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 As a religious person myself, I encountered different spiritual warfare everyday and one day I tried to create the warfare with music. I ended up writing a string orchestra piece with some interesting harmonies and repetitive melodic shape. I think I'm starting to discover my kind of harmony which is great, hope you all enjoy this 🙂 MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu paint > next PDF paint - Full Score 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Hernández Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Nice job Interesting harmonies. Sometimes the crescendo-explosions remind to Richard Strauss (Metamorphosen). I think all the parts and developments are justified. I would go over the legato-slurs (I prefer to writ "legato"). Also, those double stops in the double bass ... I think they're very hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say the same, but maybe it's implied divisi? With that said, I liked this one. I think you would get a better effect if you gave the cello/viola some of the content of the bass. Harmonically I felt like there were some clashes, but it could be an orchestration thing idk. Overall, nice work! It's obvious you gave this one a lot of attention; I love the generally clean score. I'm excited to hear more from you and how your sound develops! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterthePapercomPoser Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 The remarks regarding the contrabass double stops above standing ... I liked this piece. You actually wrote a pretty good transition back into F major from the D major area near the end. It didn't sound forced. Quite a chromatic piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
