Nice thanks ! Would be great to see a video on larger forms (binary, ternary..). I very often struggle to do a 3min piece and find a good balance between reusing ideas (too repetitive) or developing them (lack of consistency).

Yes I definitely will get to some larger forms at some point. My general advice is that people can (and should) reuse and repeat way more than they usually think they can!

Ryan looking at your music while you're talking is great. You let us see and hear the music while you talk I think we really learn a lot. Thank you. Great.

That "Major chords from other keys feel more major" explains a lot =)))

That was a power-packed 6:41 minutes of important learning! Thank you! You're Tops!

So good and helpful! (Great choice for example too!) I am tearing into your vids and have an extensive google doc going with all these amazing tips. I also see your sub count growing daily, so I'm gonna keep liking and commenting to help you get the numbers quality material like this deserves. Thanks for all you do!

What other video game scores would you like a deeper dive into?

Great video, as usual! The idea of using material from the A section in the B section got me thinking of some Williams' themes. The Raiders March is a good example - the B section uses the same rhythms, and moves into the relative minor of the A. The B section of Hedwig''s Theme uses similar harmony as the A but with different rhythmic character in the melody. To take 2 random themes of his...

Hi Ryan! Thanks for all the Content. I started learning your lessons about 9 years ago at Envato. Meanwhile i finished university and started working as a media composer as well. i really enjoy you videos. they are perfectly structured and not too long or too short. Thanks for everything i learned so far. Keep up the great work. Happy to see that you have a KZread Channel! greetings from Austria Timo Jagersberger

This has been more than useful! Thank you!

Very helpful! Not a moment wasted.

How would you structure a C section for a Rondo form:ABACABA? The same principle as the B, only different, or something else? Possibly starting on the V chord, or even modulating to the key of V?

Thanks for that👍

Can you please please create a video really explaining harmony and all the music theory terms. I didn't really understand when you alked about them in this vid

Sir yor videos r so informative but please kindly use some DAW for demonstration Not everyone understand those scores n staffs please 🙏

The score is basically already a DAW, it's just that different voices lie on different pentagrams.

One easy thing that works for me sometimes is taking the A theme and doing all backwards with some minor tweaks.

What's the difference in the feeling between ABA and BAB?

@Arhidilius

Жыл бұрын

I'm no expert, but, imho, difference is emphasis, A is more important than B

why would one use a B theme??? is this due to the binary/ternary nature of the piece?

@RyanLeach

Sure, to create an ABA form is one reason. You can only repeat your main theme so many times before it becomes redundant and people feel a need for change.

Because it would feel boring after a while if we don't add anything

In the B Section, the music goes to the Subdominant, yes, but then each succeeding phrase starts another fourth up (or circle of fifths down) in the bass.

can somebody comment the whole chord progression here; would really appreciate it

@RyanLeach

A bit simplified because it doesn’t account for every non chord tone and passing tone, etc. but I think it's this F C/E Bb/D C Bb G/B F/C C Gm/Bb D/A Gm11 D/F# Gm G7/F C/E C7 Bb - F - Eb D7 Gm F Ab - Gm/D - Fm/Ab Dbmaj7 C7 /Bb
