The Echos of Flame - Work in progress

I'm here to ask, am i doing alright? Does anything need to be changed now before I continue the piece? I've fixed everything I can see but I'm not sure if there is more. Does it at least sound cool consistently? I'm going for an epic vibe. I also wanted to add, the oboe solo is the main theme

Hi @NicholasG,

I like the vibe in it. Maybe one thing is that the clarinet section should be placed above the bassoons? Thx for sharing.

I'm wrong LoL, this one is a band score rather than an orchestral one.

Alternative option not bad either. Those things below are supposedly bassoons... 

Your piece sounds really cool. I'd love to hear it when it is finished 🙂

Also when the brass is playing the melody I would try to harmonise it. That'll make it sound more 'full'. Although that is also a neat card to only pull later on in the piece, if that melody returns.

This also goes for woodwinds, but it is less important there, cause of the different textures the instruments have; when they are playing in unison it'll probably sound more varied already. Brass sounds really epic but also kinda like a sine wave imo... Especially when they are a bit pitchy
