The importance of structuring an arrangement

[@leolebrun6301]

Just came back to this video for the 100th time, as I learned a lot from it. Also my favorite piece, it got stuck in my head for months. Anyway, congratulations for this fabulous video and this amazing piece, they are my favorites. I'm surprised to see that it's amongst the videos with the less views, as well.

What libraries did you use here ? Beautiful sound and composition

[@MattiaChiappa]

Thanks! I talk about my template in detail in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ-Xemaod9KWa9k

How do you make your music sound so dynamic, powerful, and big-sounding without any hiss? I downloaded a few of your templates, and the channel strip did not appear to have any gain staging. How significant is the LUFS scale on KZbin or any other platform when you are making your music, or not a factor? Your compositions are always amazingly realistic. TY

[@MattiaChiappa]

If you listen carefully there’s actually a bit of hiss in the strings. I try to make my music peak at 0 db but I do turn the volume up and down throughout my videos to make it sounds more balanced with the voice

excelent Master! ....it would be interesting to make a short video about the golden zone...for example in...! Bartok !!.., and to be able to observe,.. if it is! objective or subjective! .. the zone of structural balance.... a hug !!

Sir i m trying to create a western cowboy type music Wanted to ask if i have a guitar chord progression (using an electric tremolo) What r my options for melody like what instruments can suit it well

[@leolebrun6301]

Hi, if you listen closely at Ennio Moricone's music, you'll hear lots of guitar and percussions, but also some whistling and human voices. On top of that, he uses harmonicas to create a western-like sound, and harpsicord to create harshness. Depending on how much room you leave to your percussion section, I'd recommend using the lower notes of a piano, following your percussions, to give a more rythmic aspect to the whole thing.

Writing out of thin air is a massive challenge. After my initial phase in composing to just write all I had in my head with all my wonderful new libraries, the well started to dry up. Along the way I scored to picture and I really liked that. The clips suggested mood and tempo and it was way easier to be creative. Short of that I write to photos now, mostly deviant art offerings as those amazing works tell a whole story in one static picture. Picture with music is truly the best combination. At least for me, it gets the creative juices flowing way easier that way. Your videos and music are great. I never miss a one of them!

[@MattiaChiappa]

Thanks! I agree, writing just for the sake of is the most difficult. Limitations of any kind will be your best friend

Wonderful piece Mattia, thank you for showing the thought process behind it, very inspiring 😃

That is a beautiful composition Mattia, thank you for sharing.

Thanks man!

I think these are important things to consider when arranging for an orchestra: a strong melody will help to keep the listener engaged and will make the arrangement more memorable. Experiment with different combinations of instruments to find what works best for your piece. Make sure that no one instrument overpowers the others. Counterpoint is a great way to add variety to an orchestral arrangement. The structure of a piece of music can be used to create a sense of progression and development. Listening to other orchestral arrangements is a great way to learn how to write orchestral arrangements. In addition, it is important to have a good understanding of the range and capabilities of each instrument in the orchestra. This will help you to make informed decisions about how to use them in your arrangement. Don't be afraid to experiment!

Beautiful string arrangement! Great advice, and also your video production is now at a very high level. In particular the proper balance of your voice and music is spot on. Which of course saves the viewer of having to ride the volume slider. Thanks again for your insights and I highly recommend your course to everyone.

[@MattiaChiappa]

Thanks Scott 😁

[@boniuerlee1837]

I often only use one instrument when I'm writing a main theme. When I watched this video, it inspired me to think about composing. I will try to mix melodies with different instruments in the future, instead of writing melodic lines with Violin or Cello, as I do now. Thank you very much Mattia (PS: Bach is a genius and so is Mattia)😁

[@michaelstevenson5570]

So helpful! Thank you Mattia 😎
