📚 For a great book on orchestration check out The Study of Orchestration by Samuel Adler amzn.to/3ab0EsO
The orchestral score to How To Train Your Dragon has a huge brass section: 1 tuba, 2 bass trombones, 4 tenor trombones, 4 trumpets, and 12 french horns!
In this video we look at the moments where the composer uses the entire brass section together so learn how he gets that blockbuster cinematic sound with his orchestration!

I bet it was close. Social Netwrok actually has a great soundtrack though. The music is pretty simplistic but it doesn’t get in the way of the movie at all. It is more felt than heard and adds to the movie even if you don’t realize it. I think both choices are amazing and if HTTYG won, I think there wouldn’t be many complaints.

The problem is that it's like trying to see who can win between a pro golfer and a pro basket-baller. Both soundtracks are great in massively different ways. If we're going for raw composition, HTTYD may be king, but there's far more to music these days than raw composition. You're dismissing Trent Reznor and Atticus Russ here. They bring to the table what an orchestra can't. Dreamy, spacey, ambient electronic textures and sound design, a lot of which were pretty unique for back then (and even still). I'm re-listening to both soundtracks right now, and if I had to pick a winner for unique/fresh flavours, I'm picking The Social Network all day long. As great as HTTYD is, it's still familiar sounding. It could fit in a million adventure orchestral films (IMO) and not feel out of place. I wouldn't dismiss the Social Network as weak composition either though. The beauty is that (for me anyway) we can enjoy both soundtracks, and both really are true ear candy.

I worked on a Disney movie which was scored by John Powell, at around the same time period as "How to Train Your Dragon." Powell's comments on his plan for the score included that he believed woodwinds and trumpets were out of fashion, and should be used sparingly, and not as lead sounds. This aligns with how, in your analysis here, the trumpets are used less than the other brass instruments, mostly for brief ornamentation or rhythmic hits.

@snarf1504
@snarf1504 2 года назад
That's a pretty common take though. In many modern idioms, synths have taken over the 'coloring' role from the woodwinds. Trumpets have specific connotations (e.g. military, heroic) as well, which are generally less called for nowadays. I would actually say that HTTYD is fairly traditional, e.g. closer to the John Williams idiom than Hans Zimmer, although with a modern flavour (for reasons mentioned).

Excellent video! I've come to know quite a bit about the HTTYD scores from interviews (mainly about the themes and exotic instruments), but it's always great to learn something new about the orchestration itself. I can tell you John Powell's father was also a tuba player and that Powell likes the sound of the brass which is probably why this one has such a large brass section, but it is interesting that the sequels have progressively fewer horns (12, then 9, then 6). It's also great to see more people using the scorebook from Omni Music Publishing as a reference. For me it's an unprecedented resource that continues to be extremely useful, and I was even able to contribute to the HTTYD 2 scorebook, which will be just as great a resource to me as the first one. Again, great video and thanks for highlighting the interesting way Powell uses the brass instruments. It may be just one cue, but a lot of this still applies to the rest of the score and its sequels.

@TheJH1015
@TheJH1015 Год назад
this really reminds me of the way Dutch Fanfare Orchestras are generally scored. The only types of instruments you have in that band setting are low brass (Tubas (Eb and Bb), Euphonium, Baritone horn, bass- and tenor trombone), 'middle brass' as we call it (French Horns) and high brass (Flugelhorns, trumpet and soprano/Eb cornet), and the saxophone family (soprano, alto, tenor and baritone). 'Normal' concert bands also have this but with less brass variety and more woodwinds, and the British Brass bands is very similar but they only have one flugelhorn and an army of cornets. each of those instruments is going to have to be specialised or else you end up with holes in the orchestration. Flugelhorns are the main melodic instrument or have to provide texture or moving lines like arpeggios etc. Trumpets/cornets are there for signals and added power/clarity lines. Tubas are there for foundation setting and support. Trombones are for power and chord structure. Horns are for chords as well as harmonizing and colouring, as well as the occasional power boost and main melodic lines. Baritones are often used for any of the above, doubling horns, trombone, trumpet, flugelhorn or saxophones, as well as euphonium when their sounds get a bit too homogenic. And finally, we have the euphonium which is *literally* the wild card of the wind ensembles because it can do *everything.* Need beautiful melody? Euphonium. countermelody? Eupho. doubling of the tubas? Eupho. strengthen the trombones and take the edge off of them a bit? Eupho. Double the horns to open up their sound a bit and add clarity? *Euphonium.* You can tell its qualities from how Gustav Holst used them in his Planets Suite: An instrument that can play melodies and power parts without the bright edge trombones have, or with a more open sound than the horns. And I wish more composers used them in symphonies.

Horn player here. Loved the video. Just for future reference, us horn players prefer not to be labeled as "French hornists". The horn itself is German, the French put values on the instrument right at the end of the 19th century. This is why late romantic era composers like Strauss and Mahler were writing more chromatic lines for the horns. However, composers like Brahms and Tchaikovsky did not like the sound of the early valved horns and therefore stuck to writing for the natural horn. I see a lot of very well-educated musicians refer to our instrument as "French". Its a very common thing to do and just wanted to let you know. This score is such a great one. Thanks again for the insight. These LA musicians really are a very special breed.

Hey Ryan, Just found your channel and liking it a lot! Huge OST fan here. Seeing your full score book really interested me, so you have more? How can anyone buy them? I found the Jonh Powell one, but can’t find more from other composers. Great content! Cheers

For once the horns get the main melody and the rest of the brass is doing support. As a former horn player this just makes me smile. I was in a community band that got a copy of the Star wars medley where the horn parts were NOT re-written for the trombones, and we hit those notes with great pride.

Music has a lot of resource management, to make one section have the impact you want it to have, you have to make sure you reserve things for it, or else it won't be notable. It's a lot like power in writing, every aspect of art will always be in relation to everything around it.

Hello, Ryan! I am a young musician from Belarus. I watch your videos every day, and it really help me to learn a lot of new things about composition and music in general. Your videos help me learn English too. I want to know just one thing - which plugins do you use in Sibelius? It sound alive. Thank you for your videos and the experiences you share.

I wish my band had more than 2 horns. I can only play so loud. Edit: I should mention that we have 15 trombones, 12 trumpets, and 9 altos. We get a bit drowned out on occasion

Secret of Mana has always been a particular favorite of mine. Final Fantasy is probably the top of the class though. Here's one I did with the Chocobo theme: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MNuaahEoxGA.html
