From Piano to Orchestra | Part 1

Музыка

In this small series I show my way to transcribe a piano piece into an orchestral work.
Fortunately, the winner of my musical riddle last month ( • Spring Riddle Winner ) sent me a beautiful piano piece that I am using for this project. You can find "The space of my dreams" by Elena Konovalova here: • Elena Konovalova The s...
I look forward to your comments on this project!
See the following parts:

#4: • From Piano to Orchestr...
And the final music video: • The space of her dreams

    A few things I would have tried in terms of variety and development : kept the lower register to start, repeat as you did with violin as lead, perhaps modulate up a third, have a solo piano interlude, have a section later with pizz cello for some movement. Anyway a lovely piece, there’s no end to the possibilities which makes composition and arranging fun!

    Nice work Andreas. I can't read music but still watched because it sounded good. With tutorials like these I've noticed they either show music notation or MIDI view. I suppose music notation or MIDI views have different audiences and it depends on what the maker of the video is more comfortable using. Did you use special notation software for the animated score?

    Thx, GreenHope42! I use Sibelius for notation and have animated that with Doodley. It's interesting to think that notation and MIDI appeal to different audiences. I hadn't thought about that... Interested in an (additional) MIDI walkthrough?

    @@AndreasDormannMusic It probably depends on the viewers musical background and the way the composer (and video maker) writes their music. The first music making videos I watched (a few years ago) were EDM and dance music related, which are all MIDI based. Over the past couple of years I've gotten into more orchestration and film scoring. About half of the tutorials are music notation and half are MIDI, and some crossover using both.

    Reality Check: Bass flute is normally never used in orchestra. That's more like jazz specialty instrument. Hardly any flutists own bass flutes and they are hard to find to even borrow. I'd recommend finding an alternative for what you are trying to accomplish.

    @@AndreasDormannMusic I apologize because I somehow didn't see your comment. Of course there is no rule book when it comes to orchestration, but there are certain tendencies/norms. Much of this cannot be learned outside of an orchestra, although many living composers try. This is why it's almost better to be a musician first and then move on to composing. What I can tell you, and most of my colleagues would most likely agree, is that a composer would most likely assign that bass flute part to bass clarinet or bassoon. There are certain combinations that become expected over time. I cannot explain exactly why I know this. All I can say is that I've spent a huge amount of time in various orchestras over the years from a very young age.
