While I am watching this videos my desire of becoming a music score and a componist for that increases permanently.Where is the best place to study that and how to prepare for the admission examination? if there is one? Thanks in advance
TEMP TRACK: An easy temp track can be made with Magix Music Maker 15…soundspool #15
Video s great! But convrsation btween LesFarington, Dillon et al just as good…2 me…bcause these r questions I also want to ask! Any teaching software u can reommend? (I’m far from NY or Hollywood, no car, hard 2 get out. But I have 3,000 unpublished melodies! How do I get going???? Software, school recommendations? (I’m in Colorado)
For software, have you tried Finale? UNC – U of Northern Colorado is worth checking out and UC Boulder.
I compose music for my own films.I find that I don’t have to know much, because I use a keyboard to imitate all the instruments I wish to use. Editing is hard without the best software, though!
yeah I would like to start doing that as well, but yes you’re right it’s hard to line the music layers up right without the right software. What do you use?
shut up
do you mean you have to know how to transpose parts and stuff?and you have to have knowledge of the ranges for instruments like a c# on a sax is the ugliest note there is.
With the same respect, not I have only listened to the Planets, I conducted them in 3 occasions. I am just making the point that you hear Star Wars, first time, 1977, and you never listened nothing like that before, except for Holst. And everything comes from something previous…
(cont) Mercury is present in all fast movements (also reminds Britten or Wagne’s Parsifal, moving the same melody between instruments). You are right in Stravinsky, well spotted. Apart from that, he is not playing “the card”. This conversation between Lucas and Williams is well documented.
