Michael Timothy De Castro - Echoes (live)
This was a short piece that I had performed for a Composer's Recital. The title comes from the repetition of a note, which gets softer each time, representing echoes.
This was the first time I've had my pieces performed, so it was a surreal experience and a privilege. As such, I thank and appreciate the performers for bringing my music to life (live, haha get it?... nvm).
Composed on February 11, 2024
Recorded on May 15, 2024
Performers:
Shannon Canchola, flute
Sonia Lee, piano

It was a bit of a challenge naming this piece, I went for a more cinematic approach to this one. The score isn't for performers to read, I treated the notation software more like a DAW. Plugins: Spitfire Audio LABS - Soft Piano Musesounds Strings Muse FX: Reverb - Ethereal

I thought my piece would sound good with strings, so I did, and I can say I'm not disappointed with the result! Though it did kinda stop sounding like what the title suggests. Notated with Musescore 4 Plugins: Muse Sounds Reverb - Staffpad Hall ProEQ - Strings

I wrote this without a specific idea in mind, I improvised some parts and used some ideas that I liked from my influences.

honestly sounds more early morning than evening to me
It like me, and I download the sheet music. Thanks for sharing your work with everyone!
🥰
wonderful listen <3
would you have the pdf parts for a string quartet? i would love to play this!
I love it❤
This is so pretty!
This piece is very reminiscent of composers like Ludovico Einaudi. I think you chose your instrumentation well, and the lack of very low notes contributes to the feel of the piece. It's amazing to see your music evolve as you post more videos!
Thanks! And I appreciate you always commenting on my videos!
I love your way of composing, I am going to play as a soloist with a music band in a big concert, I was wondering if I could adapt some of your fantastic pieces and play it at the concert, always giving you all the credits
Thank you and please, go ahead! I'd be happy if you did so haha
@@MichaelTimothyDeCastro That's what it will be like! I'm starting to inform you, it will be in Spain, for a concert of Saint Cecilia
Beautiful♥️
Wow it's so simple and so pretty it's really amazing
It's like admiring the beauty of a woman
Reminds me a bit of Arvo Pärt and his Tintinnabulum style, very beautiful!
Magnifique 💚💜
So beautiful ❤
It is similar to Enya's works, simple and beautiful. 😊
Dont leave out the bass! They can really give any orchestration a lot of depth.
reminds me of being in a car while its raining.
What are u doing?😂 Were is ur composition?
Woah. Searching is such a great title. Those unfinished downward runs in the middle section really gave me chills, like a search for something never found…
This is so beautiful in its simplicity - lovely to hear silences between the notes.
Beautiful piece the tempo being close to 60 really gave me the feel of a clock ticking away the hours on a warm summer evening ❤️
It reminds me of gymnopedie number one!! Lovely!! ❤️
❤
Ngl this sounds like something from the minecraft soundtrack. Beautiful piece.
Незлоупотребляйте легато, так как в струнных инструментах это очень тяжело повторить. Кажется это произведение больше подойдёт для духовых из за сустэйна.
It's a nice piece, so intimate. Good job, I'm your 190 subscriber.
It's a little short for me. 2 minutes is an ok piece length, but not for something so steady, slow, and simplistic.
I think it would sound better if the melody and bass line both did pizzicato, it would still retain the feel of quietness in the piano version because of the decaying sound.
This is so pretty
Very pianistic writing, not the Best for the orchestra. I like the tune, very Beautiful, the orchestration could Be Better But it works.
Very, very well made. Please continue composing peices such as this.
Very pretty!!
I could hear a soft violin coming in
this is awesome man good stuff
So beautiful!!! This reminds me of something from Minecraft
La belleza de lo simple. Hermosa pieza!
Hi 👋 it's actually wonderfull. Where can I find the scores !?!?
Thank you! you can find the scores in the description! I'll also post the link here drive.google.com/file/d/1qqxp9nPJzzl4mWYeETvnohV2m_0uu-uW/view?usp=sharing
I love how simple yet moving it is! I feel like a saxophone duet would go soooo nicely 🤤.
As in a saxophone playing the melody or all parts being played by a sax?
I can hear a saxophone soloist come in another violin another saxophone harmonizing
Complimenti 👏🎉🎉
Superbe, très joli !
What a lovely calming piece! Thanks for sharing! :)
EXCELENTE VIDEO SUBE MAS PORFAVOR .... EXITOS !!!
Did you ever play Minecraft ?
Yes I have!
@@MichaelTimothyDeCastroThis music sounds like something you would hear in minecraft
ive never heard someone embody the style of erik satie so well
Such beauty in the simplicity! So many composers just try to cram notes and ideas in for the sake of adding "complexity", but each note in your piece is deliberate and serving purpose. Beautiful :)
I recommend rewriting it the same with 3/4 time signature.
Why tho? 9/8 is okay triple meter. In 3/4 they would need to use a lot of triplets for no reason
@@geoking1907he means breaking each bar of 9/8 into three 3/4s
I agree! It feels off in 9/8. cute piece though.
Genius. I have this same format of video on my channel too! Very Beautiful!
Wow! Intense silence with just a few notes. Very well written!
Oh we prefer you creating and sharing these fine pearls of compositions! Keep the good work man, thanks!!!
