@@AlexHeppelmann I've become a big fan of Sibelius' work and have begun to study his scores. Re the excerpt you cite in the video, can you tell me which movement that is in his #2? ~ Thx!

This was simply the best tutorial on orchestration (and arranging) under 20 mins!

The melody is so beautiful, now I want to hear the whole piece...it could be a movie soundtrack...

Happy to hear, and glad that I can be of some help in your musical journey!

In the last 2 bars of the 1st orchestration, I noticed parallel fifths in the bassoon part. It's refreshing for a novice like me to see cases where the 'rules' are broken to good effect -- it sounds great (I don't really hear the "loss of the independent line").

Hi. First let me congratulate for your didactic feeling for explaining realy complex musical work. For me the thinking of orchestration parallel to compisition is essential for I regard every piece/type of music "being a story" somebody is moved by and wants to tell either the story as well as what touched him/her to others. In this sense I have always to keep 3 things in mind: What is the story about? Where/When does it take place? What/who is touched/moved in which way. Thanks for your Interpretation of how a story can be told. Best regards; Berny

Great video Alex and love the asides you do such as talk about when notes can sound dissonant and how to treat it. Wonderful orchestration, plus I love Sibelius Symphonies especially the 2nd, truly wonderful.

Thanks, Mark! I was hoping the aside wouldn't be too out of place!

Fantastic. Clear explanations. Love how you moved the melody from horns to strings and back again.

Amazing work. Thank you so much for your highly informative videos. Very happy to have found your channel.

Amazing explanation. Clear and digestible. Thank you! Looking forward to your course.

I found it today. It’s going to help me sure my orchestra practice music. Thank you so much!

Great video. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your course.

Thanks for sharing this. Always good to see how inspiration/guidance comes from scores from major composers. Keep on sharing how you look to those old scores for help.

I just discovered your channel 2 days ago and I'm thrilled that I did. For a fledgling composer/orchestrator like me this video was really insightful. The process of taking a melody and orchestrating it in increasingly larger scope was exactly the type of info I've been seeking. Your explanation regarding orchestration choices was refreshingly clear. Please consider making more of these "Orchestrating a Melody" videos. (I'll be visiting your Patreon page). ~ Cheers, Kevin J.

Somehow I missed this. Nice job!

Your explanation is solid. I was wondering if you have anything on orchestrating a song. Like, from a lead sheet to a score. Would love to see how a songs melody and harmonic progression gets orchestrated to full orchestra or rhythm section.

Thank you!!!

Very interesting and useful. Maybe, just don’t forget to make your first French horn to breath.

What a gem lf a channel. I'm gonna try to watch many of your orchestration videos to learn all about it. Just one question : what program do you use to play the music for you?

Thanks! I typically mockup each example using Orchestral Tools sample libraries in Cubase.

Explanation is very fine sir. Sir what "DAW" you've used while making these type of orchestration? and the which library it was? cause it sounds very lively!

The work seems sound, but the instruments may be the issue. I'm not sure. It sounds very synthetic. If you are not using BBC spitfire, perhaps try that. It could also be the lack of modulation. In any case, synthetic results kind of kill the effect of your work done here.

I think God made me watch this
