Birthday waltz

Featured Replies

I'm nervous because this is my first ever musical comission. This waltz is intended as a birthday present for a friend, she likes a lot studio ghibli and Tim burton's so I decided to write a waltz trying to imit these styles

 

Since my friend is not a classical listener I used simpler harmonies, but my perfectionist self wanted more so I decided to orchestrate the waltz and, duuuude, it's the best desition i could have ever made

 

I hope you like it!!!

 

 

Hi @Samuel_vangogh!

I think you definitely accomplished your goal of writing a piece like Joe Hisaishi.  At first, I thought you intended to write a piece literally using the "Happy Birthday" melody.  But now I understand it had nothing to do with that melody and you just meant to write a piece of music as a birthday gift.  The music is very bittersweet and emotive.  I wish you had written a final ending chord!  It seems like that's all that's missing from this.  Thanks for sharing!

Wow, that beginning is very serene.  I love this harmonic content. It’s giving off already.   OK, I love the layering with this with the themes.  Make sure you give the double bass something to play.  I like the re-entering of the main theme later on that is a really nice touch.    I think the recording shut off at three minutes. I don’t know if it’s supposed to go longer, but if that’s the end, it feels unfinished.
 

anyways, good job with this I really love the feel and style you’re going through
