Fanfarria y Evocación

Featured Replies

Hello

I’ve written another sketch for orchestra.

In this piece, I’ve used ‘sound mass’ techniques in some sections, and harmonies based on fourths… I haven’t really thought about any specific chords, just voice leading.

The first section is the fanfare; the second is the more subdued, evocative section.

There are no oboes or violins, so that the brilliance comes from the brass.

Hi Luis.
I don't know whether it be the music itself or the soundfont/VST chosen, but this sketch reminds me a lot of Dragon Quest VIII music, and that faint reminiscence alone makes me interested, and makes me like it too. Leaving you some examples here (but with an actual orchestra), if you don't mind, but since I feel I repeat myself a lot, perhaps I have stated this somewhere else!

That aside, I quite like the glissandi in the harp and the percussion meshing very nicely in the composition.
Thank you again for continuing to share your work here, Luis.

Kind regards!
