Sketching with Schillinger: Orchestral Cue Part 2 Melody and Rhythm

- This is Part 2 in the series 'Sketching with Schillinger'. The series was created after receiving tutorial viewer requests to demonstrate working with the Schillinger System of Musical Composition in more detail. I'll show how an orchestral composition can be created from a basic element, the 'melodic cell'.
Part 2 demonstrates the application of Schillinger System of Musical Composition techniques in the melody and rhythm domain in the example orchestral composition. You'll see the development of a melodic continuity (MC) with rhythm overlay from the permutation set of melodic forms, based on the cell C-D-Eb. The rhythmic attack-duration pattern is obtained through binary synchronization, using the fractioning Rf(4,3) pattern, and modified with split-unit groups, augmentation and diminution. The melodic form is varied through inversion and the combination with inverted and transposed melodic forms.

Thanks, Frans. This is an amazing example of the application of the Schillinger sketching process. Exciting!
@carloslema5400 Thanks for the kind words. After uploading a significant number of separate Schillinger tutorials I was asked repeatedly to demonstrate the integration of different techniques. This four-part series is my answer to that question and is a more or less structured approach to composing with the system. Glad you liked it!
fascinating as always :)
@adamjnotthecongressmanschi7026 Thank you, and have a joyful Christmas holiday period!
Great!
Thanks, have been working hard on the 3rd episode over the festive days. That is good news for the Christmas turkey. Happy holidays!
Wow. A couple of comments.
(1) Now I know what my Calculus students feel like during lectures. 8-)
(2) I teach mathematics at Arizona State, and when I work out problems, I go into about as much detail as these videos. I'm sure they appreciate seeing all the details there, too, just like I see them here.
(3) Impressive, and appreciated as always.
(4) I may have missed this in an introduction, but was the final piece something you'd written already, or was it written specifically for this series? I suspect the latter, because going back, it might not be obvious what all you did, and what all you rejected.
@christopherheckman7957 Let me briefly comment on the points raised here. (1) Tell me, I did teach myself, never had the idea students felt anything at all. Or they did not show. (2) I stopped making assumptions about why and when others understand subjects. Some may need the details, for sure. (3) Thank you! (4) Your assumption is correct, this piece was written specifically for the series. What you see in the videos is the actual path from first sketches to the final score. Of course, overview diagrams, annotations and audio excerpt creation were done a posteriori. Creating these videos took significantly more time than writing the music. Enjoy the Christmas holiday period and stay safe in the current horrible weather!
@@FransAbsil Thanks for the quick reply.
I live in Tempe, Arizona, so the weather isn't too bad. (I grew up in Nebraska, and my goal was to get away from their winters!)
