August 24, 20214 yr Hi, here a baroque piece I wrote during my summer holiday. Any comments are wellcome. Regards!
August 25, 20214 yr Great job overall! I enjoyed it even better on the second hearing because it gave me time to hear the various contrapuntal voices and how they interact. I do think that the ensemble you chose has a little bit of a hard time blending together though. I feel like it would sound better if the English Horn were doubled by strings as well (and possibly double the 1st and 2nd violins with oboes as well to make it more homogenous sounding). That's just my thought though - thanks for sharing!

That's just my thought though - thanks for sharing! Hi, honestly, I did many changes on the arrangement while composing. First I did a draft for organ. Then I change it for 2Oboe, Horn, Bassoon and harpsichord, but I had the problem oboes and bassoon had no time to breath, also Horn was either too high or I had voice crossing with the bass in some parts, which isn't good. Then I try to replace winds for stings. Register and breath problems were solved, but viola part was too weak and the dotted rythm was hardly heard. Finally I replace viola part for english horn. But I like your idea. I will try to replace again EH for viola and double strings for winds at some parts. I don't like doubling the hole think, but just some parts. Thanks for your feedback!
