Luca Spaccatrosi Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Very much a work in progress, especially the end/coda which does need some work. Stylistically its probably late romantic period.

Maria Bencic Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 This is an extreamly good composition, it sounds like a song some would use in a big historian best selling movie. The composition´s harmony is amazing, it sounds like a big parad is going on, a very majestic sound. I especially liked the instrument composition at the end, it was such a powerful sound and very beautiful. It feels like the song is telling a story, although no words are in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Spaccatrosi Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 It's always nice to receive praise for something that's you've put a lot of effort into 🙂 I guess what I intended to do was to develop the piece by telling a story rather than sticking to conventional development forms (sonata form etc). My only worry initially is that I included too much contrasting material that may ruin the flow of it as an individual piece. I'm thinking of expanding it into a larger composition, focusing on each theme individually, and then throwing them all together in one last movement. My only concern is that I may have to introduce more material in midway through each movement to avoid it becoming repetitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like one big casino in Canada sponsors esport teams and now they achieved good results. I want to say that I totally agree with her. It is really good to hear such talents and I wonder what you publish next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria Bencic Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I have listen now a couple of times and every time I listen to your song, espacially the end of your song, I´m deeply amazed by the beauty and total excellence of the sound. You really have recived a rare gift to compose high class orchestra music. Do you have more compensitions, on a Youtube channel or something simulair? Thank you very much for sharing this song! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Hernández Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 It reminds me o some operatic parts (Aida, ....). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Spaccatrosi Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Small Update: I have completed a short second movement based on one of the subjects that I used in the initial work. The percussion and brass are tacet for this. The plan is to write separate movements for all the subjects expect for the fanfare (what I open with), and then write one final movement that incorporates everything, and hopefully brings it to a satisfying end.

PeterthePapercomPoser Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Your second movement after 1:07 sounds like Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 1st movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
