Here's the "Secret to Masterful Orchestration" video! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-45fiQjfzM98.html

I think watching this made me realize part john Powell's genius when he makes some of his scores, It shows me pretty much on how much of a creative man he is, even at the beginning of his career with face/off (even though his music in that movie sounds like hans Zimmer's broken arrow soundtrack)

For a beginning composer/orchestrator like me, that was eye-poppingly insightful, Zach. I've been watching many videos by you, Mattia, Anne Dern, Ryan Leach, etc., and studying from textbooks, but it's often difficult to stitch it all together in a coherent way. This video really laid out a rudimentary, understandable process to go from piano sketch to a fuller orchestration. I've considered signing on to your Patreon before, but never did it ... this video has convinced me that it's worth checking out. Thx again for sharing your knowledge -- for a newbie like me this material is invaluable. Pls do more along these lines.

Hey, playlist idea: each section of a new piece you write is a single video, and in each video, you fully flesh out each section giving tips and tricks throughout. Show all the small details for each section and then build upon it with each new video until the final video where you stitch it all together and complete the piece.

Starting with the piano does help create the separation for natural bowing on what could be easily an overly long unnatural sustain. Very helpful for non-string players.

Finally, an unpretentious and honest content from a good channel.

Unlike most of the other videos, I was just completely lost and did not even know what to ask

Glad to know that you also like the soundtracks/pieces from HTTYD 2. I've done some studies on how he does it, and you've covered almost everything i've missed. I've noticed he uses fast triplet violin runs to add movement and energy without sounding too powerful, especially in Flying with Mother. Thanks, I really needed this video!

Thank you very much for your orchestration turorials. For me these made the difference between all the instruments playing the chord and just creating mush and dissecting a chord to create air for the individual elements. A video from you was enough to internalize and implement it. This gave me the ability to create really beautiful arrangements. Kind regards from Bremen, Germany...Kamu
@Ph_Blais
@Ph_Blais Год назад
The part where everything is doubled and suddenly becomes beautiful reminds me of the organ. It’s really comon to add the same familly of stops octaves higher, like flute 8’ + 4’ and 2’. Which a bit like you show here, is litterally just adding octaves. That’s why I think the organ can also sound easily full and "magical"

Whoa, this was an awesome video! Feels like the video I needed for a while; funnily enough this is something that gets me stuck alot even as my main instrument: making the orchestral arrangement fit instead of being a copy/paste from the piano roll. Often times I end up making a separate piano section to accompany the strings ... 😅 definitely going to keep this in mind for when I just want that emotional soaring solo strings performance. Thanks Zach! 😄

Very helpful video! I've learned that it's fine to start composing with chords but as soon as the basic structure is there, each voice should be allowed to develop it's own melody while remaining harmonious.

If you're interested in composing music effectively, consider enrolling in a music theory course. Such courses cover essentials like notes, intervals, chords, scales, and harmony. Earning a degree in music theory is not only cost-effective but also equips you with formal qualifications. If you wish to go beyond the basics, you might want to take a specialized course in cinematic music production taught by a qualified instructor. This could expand your abilities far beyond writing just a couple of songs. But of course, this is just my personal perspective.

Nice explanation. I always try not to place the orchestration on the 1 of the bar all the time. At some point this scheme becomes very predictable and not very innovative. Usually less is more, but variety and unity is an extremely important dynamic when it comes to creating stunning and unique compositions and music harmonies.

"you can always test it by singing individual parts" .... no chance, I am better off just imagining it inside my head. I still get shocked myself how incapable I am at hitting any notes with my larynx, despite having a "very good ear" (which just makes it all the more painful to listen) 😅😅

Hey Zach - amazing content as ever. 1 question: I know you use CSS, which has , I believe, 10 first Vlns and 7 second Vlns. Does that mean then, when you create a second Kontakt instance for example when you double in octaves, there are 20 first violins and 14 second violins? Is this a 'faux pas' in programming strings as it's not 'realistic'? Even if it sound amazing?

Very thorough and helpful video - I am, however, confused on how to go from step 5 to step 6 - how do you decide on which instruments take on which phrase and when do you decide, if they should switch from a voice to another?
@davidpreeceorchestra80
@davidpreeceorchestra80 Год назад
I agree, voicing the middle register like violin 2 and viola is hard. Maybe just experiment in the piano like zach did and then copy paste to the instruments?
@ZachHeyde
@ZachHeyde Год назад
This! It's dependent on the register of the idea you've written, and where each line speaks best for each instrument. It's a matter of experimentation and some orchestration experience that was a little too in-depth for this video.

@f0xshadow521
@f0xshadow521 Год назад
Loved the progression from piano to the end product. However, when you do the 'add octaves' step, aren't you doubling your orchestra size? 2 cello sections, 2 Bass sections, etc etc? If you wanted to write this for an actual orchestra, would you then have to do it divisi?
@ZachHeyde
@ZachHeyde Год назад
Great question, and yes, this would be divisi! The sound would be thinner as a result, but more dense in terms of the voicing 👍🏻

@amarug

Btw, why always use the piano for these sketches? I get that historically it was the ideal instrument for orchestral sketching, technically, but now we can choose anything. As much as I love the piano as an instrument itself, it has never really worked as a sketcher. I always actually start with (shitty) strings and then work them into better strings, etc. First of all I seem find more inspiration starting with strings and also, I feel I have a much clearer picture where it's all headed.... just curious if I am the only one?
@ParadoxMusic-ot4mt
@ParadoxMusic-ot4mt 2 месяца назад
For me personally I start off each composition as improvisation on my piano then translate that to orchestra, maybe he does the same and used piano in the video to show exactly what it was he came up with originally so there's a better contrast to the final product

Oof, looks like I've not been doing my orchestral parts as efficiently as this. I think I just kept doing my bad habits over and over again. Funny thing is that I favor piano to begin with, so I don't know why I did it "the other way around" to begin with.
