NEW MUSIC EVERY DAY

The Orchestrated Path (from Carnival of the Chinese Animals)


Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I orchestrated a few measures of the piano score from a couple of days ago. 

I’m finding it very interesting to have 2 cellos but no viola. 

Here I’m voicing them in very close dyads, but I’ll double the lower cello with the violin one octave above. 

It’ll be like the right-hand of a Brahms piano piece, just at lower pitches.  This should add a Brahmsian richness as long as the dynamic is soft, otherwise it’ll sound thick.

Incidentally today is Richard Gill’s birthday. Thank you Andrew for your post a few days ago honoring Richard. I didn’t know he was the inspiration behind your Month of Music project. Richard and I worked most closely together on the unique ABC reality TV show Operatunity Oz where he was a judge and I was a producer of the soundtrack album. Happy birthday Richard.
