If only I had a dollar for every 8 bar idea I have sketched out with no idea what to do next. Transitions are the worst but also the best. This video was great for transitioning to the same theme and I know many of the concepts are the same but it's love to see one where you handle transitions to another melody or theme entirely. Amazing channel. Thank you so much.

I...no longer feel alone...haha. I have a hard drive with something like 30k little audio clips... mostly little 8 bar ideas... maybe 20 or 30 fleshed out pieces... but...I feel like a nameless King of 8 bar ideas. I usually struggle beyond that. Partially because the first part kinda ...uses up the "inspiration"... so I end up just mechanically trying stuff after spending myself on the first part... it isn't always like that... but very often it is.. it is just...very easy to get started. It is not so easy to finish and polish it.

Cool, concise video! As a _Breath of the Wild_ fan, however, I couldn’t help but notice the Mipha from the thumbnail is from _Age of Calamity_ instead. This made me think of the fact that Mipha has a different theme in _Age of Calamity_ based on the original from _Breath of the Wild._ Maybe you can compose a transition between those?

I just found your channel about a week ago and I've been binging it since. I'm an elementary music teacher IRL and my composing (which I used to love doing before knowing too much about theory) had absolutely stagnated. Your channel has singlehandedly gotten me to write my first bits of music in literal years. I'm so appreciative of your easy approach and watching you go through your explanations both with score study and watching you make the music yourself. Super helpful. So, thank you so much for what you're offering here on KZbin--I really appreciate it.

The three pickup eighth notes of the string leading up to the new voice in the higher register is genius. I would not have done that. I would have added something that says "we're going to a new section and I'm setting it up...JK! I was setting you up for one thing and gave you another". I would have used 4 to 8 16th notes in the last beat or two. Just to keep the listener on their toes... their mind(s) won't actually know what the next section will be like until they're there. But once they are there, they'll want to experience another transition.

Dorephan, Mipha, Zora, and Sidon in respective order make the DoReMiFaSoLaTiDo. Just account that in Japan the La is Ra (no L's) and Ti is Si (because Ti becomes Chi, and Shi/Si is closer to its root to tone), and it only takes a diacritic to make So to Zo. And in Mipha and Sidon's respective thenes they feature the appropriate notes in the leading leitmotif.

Happy frolicking of squirrels and birds from tree to tree transitioning to the approach of Death Incarnate (a woodsman who will cut down one of the trees). I put a waystation in the middle (Fall weather music), and then it was clear which elements would change from frolicking to fall, and what to change from fall to death. You rock!

Awesome video Ryan! For me, transitions are a pure nightmare lol. I didn't know the binary and gradual technique, looks pretty useful. I really like your transition -You didn't lose momentum, and it was pretty smooth 👏 PS- 2:22 also, for Alan Belkin, contrast are multiple changes at once (not a single change). So, if you make multiple changes too quickly, you are creating contrast. The same idea goes to unity / cohesion (more parameters in common during the entire piece). Incredible book :)

I saw your video on the brass in How to Train Your Dragon, and now this. I can say now that I'll subscribe. I'm also looking forward to the next transition video, as I'm currently working on something that will use that kind of transition (multiple times). Each of those transitions will include this kind of transition though, so they're like... transitional transitions... or something. If you're curious what it is I'm making, here it is. Well, I have this idea for a live action Batman show, taking place during the 20 years before Batman v Superman, showing his gradual change to becoming more brutal and violent. And to reflect this, I want a main theme that does the same thing. So go from more heroic, to more violent and angry. So to do THIS, I'm starting of the "suite" with Junke XL (Tom Holkenborg)'s Batman theme from Zack Snyder's Justice League, which will then transition into my own Batman theme, which will hopefully give off a horror feeling (but it will get creepier as it goes along, rathee than starting off super creepy, just to really show the gradual change from hopeful to vengeful), and then will transition to and end in Hanz Zimmer and Junkie XL's Batman theme from Batman v Superman. This is not the first time I've made music, but everything else is pretty sub par beginner stuff. This is the first and only time where I'm really going all in, and I'll also have some of my band friends help out and record their parts for me to stitch together.

Somehow I wrote a weird auditory illusion for a transition into the downbeat with four quarter notes that lead into the main part of the song. The illusion is the feeling that those four notes aren’t actually four notes but rapid arpeggios. I’m not sure if that’s because I used the same sound for another arpeggio or what but it’s quite the thing

I feel nerdy to say all this but :)-- {and these videos are quickly becoming my favorite ever}-- Since you said "the winds," I am looking & commenting about at the end of bar two not the top line but looking at lines two & three; these would not breathe well at all. Energy dissipates as air is spent. But I think those breath-commas are awkward as a fix, more of a elementary prompt. And this is your exact theme/emphasis in this topic module, likewise at the end of bar four to me, it, well, is weak breathability (is this really a word, how cool) in the same way. The winds otherwise do not "breathe." The winds flow keyboard-style-esque but not gracefully as breathing. My idea towards breathability would be instead of a half note, a dotted quarter & eighth. The wind player would then, I think, naturally breathe before the eight note that leads into the next bar, right about on beat 4. The and-of-four becomes then part of the next phrase. I digress. These videos of yours are so great and this is my first comment ever to your work here on youtube. I just now discovered your channel. Greatest Ever Channel. Strings!! What program are you using? The midi strings sound nice. Is it Sibelius or another similar? Thank you, sir, for all this. Wow.

I've learned a few from this video. Thank you sir. I feel the soft strings transition could have started two measures earlier than you introduced them, as it felt like they began at an "odd" time, giving the feeling of being impostors in the wind section. Due to the tempo of the piece, it felt like the strings transition came in at the 3 of a 4-beat bar instead of a one. Just my novice thoughts here.

I think the problem is those two parts work the best without any transition. Check out the beginning of Vivaldi's Sinfonia in C, that's the same situation. But when you have a movie theme with three different ideas, like in Basil Poledouris's Klendathu Drop, there's so little room for transition the third idea is used AS a transition between the other two. Or when you have an ambient soundtrack with several condensed ideas, like Jesper Kyd's Hawking Theme 1, there's even less room so the themes have to be planned so the end of one is a beginning of another. To do that without clashing is a real challenge.

The instrumentation change can absolutely be a gradual change. It's difficult to describe, but in some of my pieces, the instrumentation gradually develops into a completely different one within the span of a second or two, it's not a binary change, but rather a quick gradient.
