Tender Heart - for Orchestra 【Sheet Music / Score】|| original orchestra composition

[@TOTU]

I imagine this song to be seen in a sad movie ending. Very great music!

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you so much! ✨

[@mattmaloney2445]

Stunning. Reminds me of the late great John Barry.

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you for the very kind words!

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Wow, very classy and gives me a sense of film scores from the 60's or earlier which I really like as a guitarist who plays a lot of original themes for my channel so this is a pleasure to experience such dynamic and expressive music. Many cheers!

[@HollandAlbright]

I love old film scores, they're so full of strong melody and rich harmonies- that means a lot, thank you so much!

[@markelvinstudio]

Lovely composition, lush sounding string parts.

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you so much!

[@StrictlyEvan]

Very romantic and beautiful. Sounds like a score from a movie with a happy ending!

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you so much! 🎵✨

[@Dee.CeeHaich]

This is music! Keep composing please! ❤

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that 🎵 (I have a new song that will be posted this week😊)

[@aminXlocale]

I just came out with my wife from watching the boy and the heron...I truly feel you should view it in the cinema and get a feel of your composition when you've gone home...😮MIND F IN BLOWING HAHA LOVE PEACE 🕊️ AND HAPPINESS ❤🎉

[@HollandAlbright]

Aw, thank you! I saw that film a few weeks ago! Ghibli is always an inspiration :)

[@DaveHardingPiano]

Thank you!

[@keywordbasia]

Wow! I subscribed as soon as I heard the first 30 seconds of this video. Absolutely breathtaking!

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you so much! That's so kind- I really appreciate that! ☺🎵

[@topbuttondude]

wish i could compose like this

[@HollandAlbright]

Aw! Keep going, don't give up! :)

[@topbuttondude]

@@HollandAlbright i’m trying my best to

[@toucam]

Beautiful music, as usual I love your orchestral arrangements! And following the score is quite interesting too :)

[@HollandAlbright]

Thanks so much!! I like posting score videos to show more of the music, but they take a lot of work to prepare for larger ensemble pieces... XD

[@toucam]

@@HollandAlbright I was wondering about that, it seems like a lot of extra work on top of composing... But if you're dreaming of writing for real orchestra, it's good to get that practice down!

[@soultronmusic7224]

Had to give it multiple listens, so clean and memorable melody

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.✨

[@TylerMireMusic]

Love your writing Holland. So good.

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you so much, Tyler! ✨

[@twanswagten]

Great string writing, superb sound.

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you so much!

[@counterpoint2451]

Excellent

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you!

[@CityFolk66]

This is absolutely gorgeous!! The orchestration is wonderful, but that theme opening with the perfect fifth, one of my favorite intervals (hot take, I know :P)… it gushes and it’s lovely! I’ll certainly check out more of your stuff when I have some time in the future - always inspiring to hear more orchestral music, and to fall in love immediately with your style!!

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you so much! I love fifths, too (and they're everywhere in this piece). I'm glad it resonated with you :)

[@DariaSemikina]

Holland, you have been one of the most inspiring composers for me recently. Slowly going through your body of work, enjoying every piece. This one instantly strikes with its romantic film score style. So unusual to hear heartfelt music these days when everyone imitates trends instead of developing their own voice. Your style really stands out. I've been enjoying your piano pieces a lot but your orchestral writing is just as good. How do you study orchestration?

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you so much! Honestly, it's hard sometimes to not want to jump on trends, because I see how successful others are by doing it, but it doesn't feel fulfilling for me. I was with a group a while ago that did covers, and while it was fun for a little bit at first, it began to feel like an obligation, and I was using my creative energy on things I didn't want to and it was emotionally draining. I realized then that I needed to do what was fulfilling for my spirit. I enjoy listening to cover songs, but it took too much energy to make them and also write my own music. So it may not be popular, but I enjoy working on my own projects much more and making up stories and scenes for the songs I write. As for studying orchestration, I think most of what I know came from listening a lot to my favorite composers and trying to figure out how they made the sounds/effects/styles that I liked, and a heck of a lot of practicing (I've been writing for over 15 years and feel like I've only just started to get good at it, so it's been a long journey). I also had a very inspiring theory teacher once during the evening classes I took a few years ago who was very good at teaching and left me wanting to write music after most classes - especially the lessons about romantic era/chromaticism/impressionist- that really opened my eyes to composition and made it feel like the possibilities were endless. Personally I feel like the past few years have been my best, like something switched and I'm actually proud of a lot of my work (I cringe at a lot of my older music). Thank you, again! :)

[@DariaSemikina]

@@HollandAlbright I definitely feel you on covers, this can turn into grind pretty fast and it's easy to lose track of your own creative goals (been there). Though I still love to breathe new life into good music, there is a lot of fun in interpretation work. The balance between performance and composition is difficult though - performance is quite disciplined activity, but with composing you can just dive in and lose track of time. This is something I love about it, but it also makes the whole juggling thing difficult. It's interesting that you mention "the switch", because that's how I feel about my progress too. It seems to me that a lot about getting better in music goes kinda subconsciously and then you change your perspective a bit and things just starting to flow. Thanks again for such detailed reply, it's really nice to chat with you. :)

[@HollandAlbright]

@@DariaSemikina likewise! I've been enjoying the conversations. Thank you ☺

Sublime 👏👏👏

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you!✨

[@tristaneponville]

Your channel randomly got recommended on Twitter and I am happy I clicked ! This piece flows naturally and technically you made a great job making the samples sound authentic. Seeing that you are self-taught makes me think maybe I should give a shot to proper ochestral writing at some point... anyway, great work :)

[@HollandAlbright]

That is such a kind compliment, thank you! I hope that you do start writing orchestral music if it's something that you love ✨

[@eduardkrasovsky]

Holland,who inspired you to write this beauty?

[@HollandAlbright]

Thanks for the kind words! I often come up with stories before, during, or after writing a song. It’s been a while since I was working on this, but I think it was that it felt like a character theme for a scene involving someone expressing a vulnerable emotion.

[@calawendy]

is this musescore? its beautiful!!!

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you so much! I made the score in Sibelius 6 and the video editing with Sony Vegas Pro.

[@GrantilliusMax117]

Debussy meets Mahler, meets James Bond. Wonderful.

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you! Love Debussy :)

[@journey3451]

とてもきれいな音楽ですね。自分が作る曲も素直な言葉でいうと似ている感じです。とても共感できますし好みです。 あなたの曲のファンになっています。ありがとうございます。 さて、最近日本では「ブラックアダーコード」が流行っています。 これはクラシック音楽でもとても有効で曲のどこかでは必ず使っている感じです。お勧めします。 この曲にもいいと思います。 また別の曲を聴かせていただきます。

[@HollandAlbright]

どうもありがとうございます！✨

[@rphcomposer]

i was expecting the viola to go down a semitone around 25 secs

[@HollandAlbright]

I hope it was a good subversion of your expectation! :)

[@rphcomposer]

it's really good . just what I like . English sounding !!

[@FS4U-CH]

nice music 👌. may I ask wich software did you use? was this sequenced realtime and the notated or just notated? your help is much appreciated.

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you! The instruments are Cinematic Studio (the details are in the description for which ones). The notation software is Sibelius 6. I notate and then export MIDI to Reaper where I create the mockup. Hope this is helpful! :D

[@FS4U-CH]

thxs buddy. much appreciated. cheers.@@HollandAlbright
