Compose Romantic Music for Weddings in 5 Easy Steps

[@composingacademy8270]

Quick correction - 1:29 - a plagal cadence is moving from IV to I (and not I to IV). Apologies for any confusion! Thank you to @mekoskim for spotting it!

[@DimageSapelkin]

And we could be heroes, just for one day!

[@predatorx8081]

[@mekoskim1]

Great video! Just a small correction: the progression from I to IV is not a plagal cadence. A plagal cadence specifically involves the IV to I progression. Keep up the good work!

[@composingacademy8270]

Thank you so much for catching it....I'm annoyed at myself for a simple error. I've pinned a comment, to hopefully limit the confusion! Thank you!

I am always waiting for your videos, they are very useful

[@composingacademy8270]

Thank you! I will get better at posting more regularly!!

[@user-qi5rw6sg7z]

Good track. I would have used woodwinds to double the melody French horns to support the harmonies and maybe some light percussion.

[@composingacademy8270]

Tried to write a very simple track to help show the steps but absolutely I could have added additional to it. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

[@ninjasharkstudiosandmerch]

Beautiful piece. I was just about to ask which piano lol. You answered that. :)

[@composingacademy8270]

Glad you saw the info! And thank you, I am glad you liked it!

[@samchi-deng]

Very practical composition skills！

[@composingacademy8270]

Thank you! I hope you found it useful?

[@Scott.Beckford]

I think extended chords in this context always add a little extra sentimentality-I was glad to see a few in there

[@composingacademy8270]

Yes they can be really useful for creating that little bit of extra harmonic interest. Thanks for watching!

[@taqiymh8064]

[@frankzelazko]

excellent!

[@composingacademy8270]

Thank you so much!

[@landorepicmusic]

Very well produced video and a good starting point. It is just too sparsely orchestrated for me personally. I love it huge. Like Bergersen's Love Suite. So, I need waaay more string counterpoint, trombones in the harmony, some high brass accents, woodwind staccato rhythms and a large choir 😉

[@composingacademy8270]

Oh I love Thomas Bergersen's Love Suite. If I can compose something that's half as good as that one day, I'll be very happy!

[@landorepicmusic]

@@composingacademy8270 I think you can or at least come close. I just started working on a track like that myself. That will be a challenge.

[@spartacusjonesmusic]

Cool.

[@composingacademy8270]

Thanks for watching!

[@danielgreen9676]

Simon: What elements distinguish or define romantic music relative to other types of music?

[@composingacademy8270]

All these elements could be of course found in other genres/types of music, but I feel a combining 1) diatonic chords 2) use of some chord extensions such as 9ths)Instrumentation of Piano/Strings/Woodwinds could go a long way in making something sound 'romantic'

[@tpbeldie]

Hello. May I ask what have you done in order to have light piano roll theme (like in older version) in modern Cubase? Is there a setting?

[@Guitars-Gear-Music]

Great tutorial and channel. How about a documentary, nature documentary track?

[@composingacademy8270]

Oh yea that would be a great idea - thank you!

[@MrKeithterrett]

As a newbie to Library music, what would be the best libraries to pitch my music too?

[@mysterybro100]

Pls tell us the keyboard app you are using. Thank you

[@composingacademy8270]

The piano app is called 'Midiculous'

[@jenstornell]

I did not know I like wedding music but I do. Your track sounds very much like a Facebook track. Maybe it's called 10 years or something.

[@PowerOfTheCosmos]

😀👍

[@composingacademy8270]

Thank you!

[@kenjoraw]

Amen cadence?

[@composingacademy8270]

Plagal Cadences (IV-I) are often used in Hymns, so they are also sometimes referred to as an 'Amen' Cadence

[@IbouJavu4u]

Hi! I have a question about a percussion pattern but Im commenting on this vid because its youre most recent. Im trying to recreate the percussion pattern from Jhene Aiko’s “Higher” (kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3jWamuJntBopK8si=IZKnLeeBk4WdAF_e ) could you do a vid recreating this or recreate it as sheet music please? Its such a beautiful piece of music to me and I’d love to recreate it myself it’s just a bit challenging!

[@TonyProcure]

Were you writing this in Garbageband?

[@composingacademy8270]

Hi, no in Cubase.

[@hisky.]

clickbait title, I thought you were talking about romantic period music

[@composingacademy8270]

I am sorry you think that, I included a wedding photo and didn't mention period music but appreciate your feedback.

[@LearnCompositionOnline]

i would rather call it advertisement wedding music
