Symphony in the old style Movement 2

Featured Replies

Feedback appreciated also technical feedback would be good.

I used Finale and Garratin Personal orchestra and then an old copy of windows live movie maker to do the youtube score.

I was wondering if I should save in 1080 and with a WAV also is it a good idea to use Ableton for reverb and filters as I have live 10 standard.

Thanks @composerfeb. Movement 3 is soon to follow. 

I think some of the cello rhythms lack articulation in this and as a result are smeared into each other and indistinct.  If you felt like repeated 16th notes maybe didn't speak as clearly as you would have liked staccato you could have employed a tenuto mark over a staccato to separate the notes from each other while still retaining some length.

On the whole I thought this set quite a moody and melancholy atmosphere like someone is worrying about something while this music is playing (also it sounds like it could be used in a documentary about Leonardo da Vinci or some other important Renaissance or Enlightenment figure).  I liked it quite a lot despite how it basically stayed monothematic throughout.  Nice job!

The melody in the cello is beautiful, but this piece is a bit monotonous, because the motif repeats itself many times, and the remaining strings are alway son spiccato. I think some contrast would be welcome.

Great work there, sounds totally great, but one small thing that kept in my mind the fact that its quite repetitive.. you need to develop it a little bit more
