KZbin has transformed our lives - for people like me, knowledgeable enough about music to understand the challenges, but from whom music is a hobby far from our professional sphere, having a master like you sharing their experience is a godsend, and an infinite source of discovery and inspiration. I cannot thank you enough for this.

I remember the very earliest of music cmposition software, in the 80s, and I was fascinated by it, but had no idea what I was doing. Now I have, well, at least some idea, thanks to brilliant people like Anne-Kathrin, and I'm torn between regret that it came so late in life, and happiness that it came at all.

12:21 this is interesting! Did sheet music work for an orchestrator, and he usually put Tpt. 3 an octave lower when playing melodies and now I know a reason why.

In dovetailing,any new orchestrators take note, overlap one note to keep it seamless. A lot of subtle different effects can be applied,like how long the phrase is before dovetailing. Also, there's a difference in effect between call and response (no overlapping note) and dovetailing. If all else fails,try to keep it sounding natural. And yes, percussion is more effective the less they're used.

Fantastic video, I'm so glad this popped up in my recommendations! As a now (mostly) former trumpet player, I can give a little bit of insight in #5. Basically for most trumpet players it's much easier to pitch off another trumpet particularly in the higher register, and most players in an ensemble will instinctively adjust their pitch minutely so that all the overtones from each note in the chord line up nicely. This is why a good funk/big band trumpet section sounds so damn good playing big stacked chords! When they're all playing in unison, and particularly when your root note is in the higher overtones (C5 and above - which as you say counts as "high" but is normally fine for all but beginners) this becomes more and more difficult as there's only one overtone series to lock on to. So, if one player hears that they're slightly off pitch relative to the others and moves, but another player does the same thing, they're all trying to hit a moving target! Dropping the 3rd trumpet down an octave means that the higher players now have a rock solid 1st overtone note to reference from, as you spotted. Thanks so much, would love to hear any more tips you have!

Fucking brilliant! That makes great sense. I played bass trombone and doubling an octave(or two) down stabilized everything. It's got to be that there's a solid overtone to reference to.

Very nice tips! About the violin sounding twice as loud… 2 violins : +3dB 4 violins : +6dB 8 violins : +9 dB The doubling of the perceived volume is +10dB. So probably 8 or 9 violins should be enough to get the feeling. But ten will do, for sure! Congrats! I wish you a happy new year!

Fantastic! This stands above all the myriad of videos I view on the subject, as being the most succinctly constructed to avoid yada yada yada yada...coma. I can easily fall victim to over complicating my mockups. It's a byproduct of actually having the ears but being unschooled- my schooling being listening to the greats, absorbing a shit ton of learning material, watching every video you put out, and writing a shit ton of compositions. With every new piece I start by saying ok, I'm gonna do myself a favor and simplify. This video goes a long way as a reminder to that end, and how to better accomplish it. Thank you so much, Anne. I'm a shit ton pleased with this video. (Yes, you're speaking my shit ton language!)

Overwriting percussion… Do NOT start composing your piece to a “Deep Orchestral Beds Grooves”, “Damage”, Stylus RMX and so on and so forth…Those technological “marvels” are meant to be added at the end of composing process. Groove can “inspire” one for certain music, serve as a “convenient” building block that allows further composition to emerge, but it’s a trap !!! After you compose, “orchestrate” and mix your “baby”, when you mute that “percussion bed” you’d be surprised :) Start composing WITHOUT any “inspirational groove”. Anne-Kathrin, your videos are awesome, especially for those of the young students who really want to learn things ! You have a true gift of clearly expressing verbally profound musical ideas, without any unnecessary BS. Straight-to-the-point. Let us know how did your workshop in Austra go (for those of us who couldn’t travel to be with you at the location).

Grateful for your insights and advice! Thank you! 🙏🏼 I was on a sesh with a small octet string section overdubbing with a pretty well known orchestra, and on one particular song i kept hearing a nasty harmonic playing on one particular note 🙉 so i asked my conductor / arranger where was this harsh out of tune harmonic coming from? He was like? 🤷 I quickly narrowed it to a viola player, but my arranger kept saying it was fine / normal. whaaaat? So expensive, and time running short, but he and his engineer were gaslighting me. In a larger section this would have been blended, but still….crazy times!😅 I cant remember how we fixed it, maybe I asked that player not to play for that line, or a lot of surgical eq and sample layering in the mix, but it ruined the session for me. Another more recent experience was a live performance of a song with a large orchestra (exciting 1st for me!) and on the repeat of a section, one of the trumpets played the wrong note (forgot the key?) lol but it was a nightmarish moment. Dont worry, i did enjoy the canti afterwards 😏 Bad luck! 🎉😅

Another string tip is to just read some lush scores like Debussy, Ravel, Delius or Dvorak: try to analyse a lush piece or passage like Paradise Garden for Delius, Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune for Debussy, or Symphony 8 3rd movement for Dvorak. In the Dvorak for example, the super lush warm tone comes from a surprisingly sparse set of instruments: bass, cello, viola, clarinets in melody and a horn, iirc. You're not the first composer to want to create these moods, plenty of masters have done it successfully before you and there is no need to reinvent the wheel if you can simply adapt it!

Thanks so much for this! That first tip is gold already. I always thought I was being cheap having first and second violins play in octaves and uncertain about how to utilise the rest of the strings, assuming the chords should be filled within the strings, and then again uncertain about what role to give the brass etc. Obviously there are pieces that need the horns in the melody etc. and trying something different is often part of great creative work, but this sounds like a beautiful, clean starting point for... well, lush theme arrangement.

I just discovered you yesterday. I don't know how you got your musical schooling, but you sure paid attention. You are so spot on with your sharing of musical information and you understand the "game within the game" quite well. Keep up the good work. At 77 I've lived a life of music and enjoyed every minute. Still do. But I love watching young people to see where they are taking it, and I find that even after all these years, I might not learn something earthshakingly new any more, but I do find that I pick up tips and tricks that I haven't thought of. Music is a vast ocean, and you can never catch all the fish! But I continue to try lol! New sub. I just enjoy your take on music from what I've seen so far. I watched your vid on polychords yesterday, and tho I've known what they were for years, I still learned a few new tricks from watching your take on them. You are quite a good teacher. You will help a lot of people in your life. Keep up the good work. God bless you!

Very informative video, Anne-Kathrin! One of my favourite examples of a melody line that's goes through the entire range of the orchestra (from basses/cellos right up to upper strings, fl. piccolo etc) is the march from the Nutcracker. Tchaikovsky seamlessly dovetails the scale from the bottom of the orch. to the top so that it sounds like one flowing gesture. Keep up the great work and thank you!

Dear Anne Kathrin, Since the explosive development of music technology I have been intensively watching what happens in the domain, particularly observing what is offered as help to newcoming musicians. There are several musicians/teachers/instructors like Dom Sigalas, Guy Michelmore or Paul Thomson who do a phenomenal job helping these newcomers and, while browsing, I found one of your tutorials too. Watching more of them brought me to an interesting conclusion: you, being the youngest of them found a very wise (if not the wisest) way of giving the beginners the very clear, immediately applicable and understandable advices/recommendations. What is even more important it that theses advices are essential, without getting into (at the moment) unnecessary details, without making fuss and using fancy jargon. Not that I am against using professional musical vocabulary, but its use proves its valour much later, while at the beginning it would most probably discourage. Your ability to find these essential elements, explain them and demonstrate their application in projects is what makes your tutorials stick above the crowd. Please, continue. Witold Suryn

I guess you should say "like and subscribe" and promote your channel, but it's not needed for me. I have learned some incredible things from your experience, in such a short time, and do that automatically as a way to thank you for sharing it. Awesome ! So glad I found you ! 😁
