July 16, 20232 yr Hi again! I'm back with my latest composition, which I started sequencing this week. Have used all my favourite resources: Dream Pad synth, choir, vibraphone, alto flute and English horn (cor anglais). Trying to conjure up the magical atmosphere of a beautiful woodland scene. Not sure where to go next, but maybe a grand statement of the theme, with string orchestra, brass and choir together? Edited July 16, 20232 yr by Alex Weidmann
July 18, 20232 yr Author This is what my main theme sounds like arranged for sting orchestra and brass. I quite like it. So now I need to write a linking section leading into this, and an ending.
July 18, 20232 yr Hey Alex, I like both your versions of it! The first one is more magical like the magical forest Papageno stayed in, whereas the last one is grand. Your cor anglais in around 0:40 and autoflute in 1:50 is beautiful. Maybe adding triangles there will make it more magical! The clarinet in 2:20 is great too! I always like your woodwind usage. Maybe you can try an orchestral variation like those by @PeterthePapercomPoser and use the first one as the announcement of the themes and the subsequent ones as variations. Thx for sharing! Henry
July 18, 20232 yr Author Many thanks for your review Henry. I do love my woodwind! I think adding triangles is a good idea. Would use crotales; but I don't have any. Have had to add a bass flute and bass oboe to my instrumentation, because I've written too low for the alto flute and cor anglais.
