I was there in those times when you had started the channel around 2016, would sit with a cup of coffee to watch your videos daily and learn everything from them. Was waiting for you to do such videos again.
like a thousand we heard before. The issue here is the lack of education and "composers" are buying a string library, their hand doesn't move very far, and so neither does their music. Orchestrationonline is a good and free place to start, or just study Adler/Piston books.
Fantastic soundtracking Dr. Beato. Nature scenes ought to be "simple" as you call it. I'd call it very gentle and cathartic. Your mix hears like a live hall concerto. Beautiful.
Thanks Rick! Sir, you have a heart of gold! I love orchestration and am happy to see your presentation of the process. Another reason to keep things tuned to Rick Beato!
Beautiful lesson. Sounds wonderful. Interesting to see visually what the ear grabs onto. The upper extensions add three dimensional quality. Just gorgeous.
Great lesson! My musical listening has always been driven by mood. In the car, at home, in life. its the soundtrack to your life story. Keep tossing us more lessons on orchestration.
Excellent. Simple, yes. But sounds so good! We don't necessarily need modes of Mel. Minor or octatonic scales, set theory, or serialism to make nice sounding music. Good lesson for us all!
Despite this video, you still need serialism and lydian augmented in order to make nice sounding music. This gratingly tonal orchestration Beato composed did nothing but make me suspicious - it's a little TOO perfect, if you ask me. It might be smiling and saying peace be with you, to your face, but as soon as you're out of the room, it'll be talking smack about you behind your back. It might SEEM like nice normal flawless music, but that's exactly the type you have to watch your back with. That's not a reflection on Beato. I've heard him make plenty of wholesome honest fart noises.
Goodness, Rick. This is gorgeous! As I dig deeper in the Beato Book, I think I'm going to have to break out Garage Band or Logic and try my hand at this. The warmth of your instrument voicing is just so fulfilling. Great overture mood.
This is a great video! Very clearly explained! Helps me understand a lot of what I have heard as background music in the TV FBI series especially in the closing scenes. I wish I knew how to use the dissonances of 2nds and 7ths at the right time, along with the passing tones in the counter melodies. Probably not as hard as I think it is but rather have to sit down and make the time to learn. THANK YOU!
Glad to see you still teach orchestration, even though it's probably not as popular as your other videos. How about a "What Makes This Song Great" about "Night On Bald Mountain" or a Tchaikovsky or a Michael (The Incredibles) Giacchino piece? Maybe there are even stems available through your friends at Spitfire. Just a thought - keep on keepin' on!
Very helpful for understanding how melodies can be constructed using the different scales 🤗👍🏼 Thankyou for these videos Rick 👏🏽👏🏽 Might Try Finger picking this on guitar to see how it will sound 🤗
I'm glad that I can read music notation. Although I almost never do now, I still remember it a bit. Thanks for this video. It's always great to see how orchestration is done.
My god, that was remarkable. The fact that it only took 15 mins to write is even more amazing. Can you share what program you used for the orchestra sounds?
Black and white section, really cool. Oboe sounds sad and lamenting, woven nicely, so it stands out against dense orchestration. Oboe is the sad duck from Peter and the Wolf, dark and tragic, yet warm and calming. And love may grow, for all we know. Ü♫
Always liked the usage of orchestral elements in pop music. The albums “The Turning Wheel” by Spellling and “What’s your pleasure?” by Jessie Ware which are both fantastic pop albums incorporated them extremely well. Very good recent examples.
So Rick...when you wrote this, did you build up the piece they way you laid it out in the video? Where did you start? Piano? Strings? did you do the entire piano section then do the strings? Trying to get a better sense of your workflow. Thanks.
Hello Rick! Do you think you could say a word on the great composer Mikis Theodorakis who unfortunately passed away this year? Apart from his "Zorba" and "Serpico" movie themes, he started of as a classical composer and he wrote many pieces. His sound is Mediterranean and I would be very much interested to your analysis and opinion regarding his chord changes and the way he outlined the melodies. Greetings from Greece!
Did you programmed that score into the daw guys or watch it only and you only feel you learned something ? Practicing it and trying stuff out with it is what it makes a good learning experience not only watching it.
You are giving me hope in having my own music played one day by a small ensemble of a piano, bass and sax. It is not jazz music but neither is it classical. I want to have the musicians learn three twenty minute compositions. And listening to your arrangement has given me some useful ideas on my own work. If you read this, thanks!
