loved that salvation is created part at the start of movement 2. my junior year show this year has salvation is created as a repeated motif through the show
I tried writing an opener for a show called triumph about a year ago and after watching your previews I completely redid my opener. Your works are literally mind blowing man!!!
this is really good man! i love ur use of woodwinds to brass, larger sections with brass and slower and lower sections with woodwinds battery and front writing immaculate stuff dude i also love the little dci references like scv 18 mello holds (ur mello lines are so good btw) and cadets at the end lol please keep writing man its really good!
11:14 Princess Mononoke!! After that impact hit I got chills. I got so excited to the point I almost cheered like if I was in a actual DCI/Band comp show. great use of sampling dialogues from films!
8:36 OHHHHH MYYYY GOSHHHH This is pure heat!!! (I'm writing my own show, so this definitely gave me some form of motivation to keep goign and adding more!)
(Also... what program are you using to write this? I'm using musescore, but there's some bits and pieces of the soundfonts that I'm not fond of when I'm writing my music lol)
how do you find source music for these shows? whenever I have a theme idea, I can never find music that will fit or even be playable by a marching band. any suggestions welcome
Most of the music I end up using for shows I actually find by accident. Whenever I hear a piece that I think has even a little bit of potential I will save it and add in into a playlist. Doing this long enough will give you a large catalog of different pieces of music that you can pick and choose from whenever you decide to write a show. That's at least what I do. hope this helps, have a great rest of your day and God bless you!
Hey, I’m getting a show put together as well, called the Dream. I’m thinking of using Brahms lullaby as a pre show; Ride by Samuel Hazo as the opener/ first scene, then a original work by me (which ought to be good) then either the seal lullaby or sleep by Whitacre, then Tank!, and for the finale Paul’s Dream and My Roads lead into the desert from Dune. Pretty epic, right?
I always start out with trying to flesh out the theme or story behind the show. That will make the writing process easier later down the line. Once I have that figured out I will venture out and try to find any type of music that I think will go well with the theme. I don't try to restrict myself to orchestral and concert band music only. I've used brass ensembles, trumpet quartets, movie soundtracks, and even some EDM! You're not limited to a specific genre to take inspiration from. Try not to get frustrated when composing, for me, it is trial and error, trial and error, trial and error. I'll write something down and see if it sticks, if I don't like it, I'll either scrap what I originally wrote all together or add it into a separate score for later use. For instance, Act 3 of this show was originally Act 1, I changed the source music for Act 2 four times before I settled on something, and Act 4 did not exist until about 2 weeks ago!. It is a long windy road to reach the finished product, and that's ok. By always experimenting with new styles and techniques, it has over the years allowed me to refine my own distinct sound. Hope this helps. Have a great rest of your day and God bless you!
FIRSTLY THE PERCUSSION SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER THAN MUSESCORE. SECONDLY THIS IS SOME BEAUTIFUL WRITING. THIRDLY do yk what software the percussion writer uses. Its so good
@@therealnocommonsense When did they get MDL. Ive been trying for months. Also he use something else for the cymbal rolls? (IM SORRY FOR ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS)
@@kuwumiefn6943 1. MDL is only available on musescore 3 and has been for a couple of years now. 2. I think you might be a little confused, I wrote the entire show myself, there was not another person that did percussion 😁. 3. If you add a 32nd tremolo onto the 3rd sizzle cymbal, it'll sound like a sus. cymbal. Hope this helps, God bless you!
@@kuwumiefn6943 It is also actually possible to get the MDL sounds in MuseScore 4, although it's admittedly kind of a hassle. Just look up "Musescore 4 - Adding MDL Sounds Tutorial" on youtube and it should be the first result. The new sounds in Musescore 4 also (somewhat) improved the percussion situation, so if you go to the "suspended cymbal" instrument and put a 32nd tremelo on it it sounds fantastic.
@@therealnocommonsense Dude. Your writing for winds and percussion is insane brother. Beautiful work. Thank you for the cymbal trick and God bless you too.
This is the show of all time
Indeed
Call me asparagus

Would love to see the percussion score, it sounds amazing throughout! Really clean writing.

sounds fantasstic! what did you use for the ambient synth sounds like at the beginning?
its one of the built in synths in musescore

how do you get your suspended cymbal rolls to sound like that?
Add a 32nd tremolo on the sizzle cymbal in MDL Drumline and crescendo
