MJFOBOE Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 The orchestration feels heavy ... and too square. The transitions between themes seems abrupt too. The melody to me - requires a lighter touch/orchestration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterthePapercomPoser Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I had to look up what a passamezzo is. Really cool effect you produce here! I think it sounds like a lumbering old man in character - I guess it's meant to be an old Italian dance. It sounds heavy, but I think you balance the heavy sections nicely with lighter interludes. I think though that if you removed the heavy portions, it just wouldn't be the same piece anymore - the heavy parts almost seem like they're the whole point of the piece. It brings to mind heavy stomping from a fat old man with a cane LoL. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Am interesting piece. Short enough that it could be a dance, at one moment ponderous, heavy, the next letting light and air in (if that makes sense). I can imagine it in a ballet where a ponderous character appears alongside another far lighter. It might also preface a festive event. Scoring and balance are every bit up to your usual quality. Thank you for a pleasant listen. Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
