I am self-taught and started with four-part writing to learn harmony and voice leading. It's the basis for everything I write to this day, even if it gets jazzier. Greetings from Germany.
-
Dynamics are more of an attitude than volume control!!! That’s soooooo insightful thank you!
-
Excellent principles of orchestration taught here. I'd just like to mention that when doubling the bass line at the lower octave (with double bass, tuba, etc.) it's often good to simplify it, omitting some notes and inserting rests, as constant low doubling can sound ponderous and tiring. And you can use the entrances of a simplified doubled bass line, after giving it rests, for great expressive effect.

This is probably my favourite orchestration channel on the internet. High quality content and regular uploads 😀

First 1:53 Sounds cinematic just with this alone 3:13 Sounds cinematic-er just with THIS alone 3:58 All that was needed for this to sound cinematic was the French Horns only 4:22 Hard to tell the difference but it is playing and sounds cinematic-er-er 8:25 All that's needed is this 9:19 I walked into heaven 11:04 The moving lines made me think of Squid Games 12:16 I died

Can you make more videos about orchestration that isn't this huge epic wall of sound? Here it's quite simple because you're using the whole orchestra, but in lighter passages you don't want a tutti, and making these choices about instrumentation and what lines to actually use isn't as simple
-
This video works PERFECTLY as a complement to 'How to write epic cinematic music' video you made a while back. Brilliant way to present orchestration. Often, starting simple really brings out the best (and most complex in some cases) final product! Great video Ryan, thank you!
-
Ryan, that was Tremendous! Thank you so much for posting. You guys are really good.
-
This has to be one of my favorite videos so far! I learned a lot. Thanks to you Alain for taking the time to teach us this and to you Ryan for setting it up!
-
Hey Ryan, I really love this video. I normally use this method, however I have never seen before someone creating a part of a song from zero with it, so it's incredibly helpful to reaffirm the method and add New ideas. Alain is a great teacher, at sometime I'm gona have to buy his classes
-
This is truly grand stuff. I generally work the opposite way round, arranging orchestral music for 2 pianos, but this glimpse into orchestration was really fascinating and inspiring! Thank you!
-
Very clear presentation. I always love it when a video maker can take the mystery out of creative work and bring it down to earth. You show that anyone who wants to work at it can learn, through practice and persistence, what the professionals do. So thanks.
-
Awesome you got Alain for this great and super helpful video!
-
This is incredible, thank you for posting this. I went to school for music several years ago, and it's nice to be able to brush up on some skills relating to this field. Thank you!
-
Great video! Thanks Ryan and Alain. Scoreclub is an awesome resource.
-
Amazing video, clear and succint. Even starting with such simple melody and harmony, the orchestration gave everything incredibile depth. Gonna try this out
-
I have also taken many of Alain's classes. He is an outstanding teacher and scoreclub in fantastic!
-
The best orchestration vid I've seen on YT. So clear and simple. Bravo!
-
Thank you for this, it will be super helpful in my future orchestration! Your videos are always so informative and inspiring.
