String Concerto No.7 Composed by Tom Dahlenburg


Tom Dahlenburg

Recommended Posts

I just composed this piece this morning, it is completely set in D Major. I was going for something slow with a settling feel, It goes for just around 3 minutes and contains mostly strings as the instrumentation including string sections and ensembles. I did also decide to add a harpsicord and some pizzicato strings in the lower range section of the composition. It starts and finishes similarly with the same chord progression been used in D Major however at the end it's just melody/phrasing changes. My 7th String Concerto is very short, however I think it's just right only after spending several hours at the computer with my plug in keyboard next to me I decided to finish it off short. It uses the relative minor in some sections a B minor and also takes advantage of 2, 5, 1 progressions in D major however without the 7ths.

it is nice and soft with a warm sound
I don't know if you can do it with what you used to make the sounds but if you can you would likely benefit a lot from dynamics since the music feels about the same throughout in that regard. it could maybe make the ending more grand or allow for a softer introduction, and separate the parts that have similar melody
one other thing is subtle and difficult to describe helpfully but I think there could be better transitions between some of the phrases (like at 1:09 for example)
