"Ahead to the past (Overture)" a Geir original

[MrBud]

I agree with Redler, great composition, your well versed in melody obviously

[Picker]

Amazing!  I have no idea how you would do something like that. 

[Geir]

Tnanx for the kind words guys !

I've added a bit more info on the original post.

Love the pic 64G

One question... was it all done with Notion?

Indeed it was!

PS Do you want to post the pdf?

Added to the original post

Listening again? Are those drums. snare hits from drumjam pads? If so you`re very clever. 

Nah ... I'm not that clever Everything is done in Notion.

Cool stuff Geir.  Brilliantly orchestrated.  Irrespective of the method used to produce this, it still takes a musician to produce quality music this good. 

Marvelous.

This is just amazing Geir. I am really proud of you brother.
So many good melodies intervene and floats.

I recognised a couple of the songs. The one I remember the name of I have played in different settings under different titles. The last time we played it together was when it was a part of a larger song named Dissolved.

I wasn't familiar with the following symbol which I saw in your score, so I had to look it up on Wikipedia.



Turns out that it means tremolo. Or, in the case of your snare drum, a roll, diddle, or drag.

Thanks for posting the score.

Hiding your song themes was absolutely wicked! Congratulations!
I would love to give it a try but you have too many songs! It would take me a life. I'll come back to this later, since I am really curious to know.

That is correct ! One down four to go

Thanx, I thought it was quite fun

The songs I've used in this composition should be quire easy to find ... at least one or two of them. A little hint: the four remaining songs have all got more comments than the one my brother got right

I wasn't familiar with that either. And when I first used it on the violins I was expecting a vibrato, but was VERY pleased that it wasn't. I have a lot to learn about writing scores, and using Notion is a very fun way of learning it. My biggest challenge with writing music is the timing... that is the note length and where to start the notes ..... at least when writing down melodies I've already sung, because I have a very loose timing when I sing.

I'll probably pick up my guitar for my next song, but I'm sure this won't be the last time I bug you guys with an orchestral piece

[Bluesberry]

Totally outstanding Geir.......the idea of using melodies from previous songs....brilliant. The whole things moves along very nicely, great sections.  Well done.

Back for some... MooooRE, Sir.
Now that's composing
