@@feeeshmeister4311 Firstly, both my comment and the video were talking about sixths in terms of the chord voicing, but it almost sounds like you’re talking about 6ths as a chord extension. The reason I get that impression is that you say thirds are “part of nearly every chord.” Voicing a chord so that there is a sixth between the third and root happens every time a chord is in first inversion. While I would agree that “drop two” voicings are “modern,” I would hesitate to call them “experimental” since it’s just a major chord arranged in a way that fits well with woodwind acoustics. To repeat, I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT ADD 6 CHORDS. Secondly, I should specify that I play bassoon rather than one of the upper winds, so I’m used to having a wider range between myself and the rest of a chord. My parts are also distinct from the upper winds, as I’ll be playing with the brass or strings as often as my own section. My rep also has a very small amount of classical “greats” with the rest being more modern, so I’m used to seeing thirds and sixths as interchangeable (again, the actual interval, not the chord tone). This WoT wasn’t supposed to come across as pretentious, although I can see why it might seem that way. I just wanted you to have a better understanding of how I “think” musically to appreciate my comment.

Additional tip: For the love of God, understand the instruments you write for. Know their ranges and do NOT copy and paste the piano part onto the harp part. Don't overuse things like timpani and if you're composing using a program, do NOT let the midi audio fool you into thinking that's what it's going to sound like on real instruments. Dissonance and voicing will sound different in real life with different placement that a computer program can't quite get 100% right.

Wow. Your videos normally have a whole lot of content contained with them, but this one just has so many tips that seem so useful. I don't really know where to even start with orchestral writing, so I never really bothered looking it up too much. The "think of instruments as a section but allow a voice or two to break away from the chords into their own melody/countermelody parts" is a really good starting point, as well as the "maybe just start with one of each instrument to avoid getting too bogged down with multiples of each instrument, resulting in an orchestra equaling three quintets (with strings repeated for volume/timbre purposes) which sounds a lot more manageable" idea - as well as the tips about how brass sections love to do chords all crunched up together while winds tend to be more spread out and strings can do whatever the heck they want (though you can look at my name and know that I'm most familiar with strings anyway). One more point I would've loved for you to talk about is the importance of rests. I know not every instrument plays literally every bar (and you show plenty of rests in your score in the video) but I feel like I would always try to put either too many or too few instruments to be played all at once. Though I guess this is covered under the textural stuff you were talking about with the reference track idea - I should just look over what some other orchestral works have done. Finally, it is interesting that you compare to guitar and piano. Obviously everyone comes to this video with different kinds of prior knowledge, but I don't really know how guitar and piano parts are arranged. Whenever I try to do anything on piano it's RH melody and LH chords, and so of course it always sounds remarkably like a children's song like that. And guitars - to me, it's a monophonic instrument that can't play chords because I have no idea how to do guitar chords.

Over the past year, I’ve decided to work towards being a full-time composer (shifting away from being a professional guitarist) and have been steadily building my portfolio. Orchestral music, whilst being my favourite to write, is by far the most difficult to get ‘just right’ and I think these tips are great for keeping things in perspective. I can get SO lost in all my parts, voicings, timbres, tempos and so on that, at times, it can be quite overwhelming so this video is a great reminder for me to keep things simple. Simplicity is king, even when writing complex music. I’m currently working on an orchestral arrangement of ‘Legendary Theme’ from Gitaroo Man (which is just such a beautifully written melody that I wish I’d come up with it!) and I’ll be sure to keep these tips in mind as I keep working on it. Anyway, just wanted to share that and say that I love your videos and they consistently keep me inspired.

Brilliant stuff! I'm not a composer, but I've done some arranging and can think of a tip or two of my own to share. My music theory is awful, but I do understand texture and instrumentation, so maybe this will help: Tip #1: know your tone colours, tessituras and combinations. Tone colour comes on a scale, from bright to warm - flutes and trumpets are bright, clarinets and tubas are warm. In the modern day, the 'staple sound' of the orchestra is medium-warm, with bright instruments adding contrast. Tessitura is the range an instrument is most comfortable in - typically soprano, alto, tenor, bass. A brief rundown of some common instruments, in rough score order: - Flute: soprano/sopranino, bright. Perfect for adding lightness at the top of the score. The piccolo goes one step further and adds brilliance - it's a monster, so use it sparingly. - Oboe: soprano, bright-medium. The oboe's sound is very distinctive and I'm not very good at writing for it. The cor anglais is a tenor instrument with a beautiful, mournful sound that's great for ensemble stuff. - Clarinet: soprano/alto, medium-warm. One of the lower woodwinds, but matches the strings' 'staple sound' quite well. The bass clarinet is arguably the only true bass of the woodwind section, and works great in foundational bass parts. - Bassoon: tenor/bass, bright. See, low instruments can sound bright! Despite it's name, the bassoon works really well playing brightly-coloured tenor parts. The contrabassoon is the brightest contrabass instrument and has a distinctive gruff sound in the lower-medium register that becomes smooth in the upper register. - Saxophone: alto/other, medium. I didn't know where to put them in the order, alright? A surprisingly flexible instrument, in tone colour, that's great for enriching the texture beyond traditional limits and blends well with a lot of partners. - Trumpet: soprano, bright. Iconically bombastic, with a bright tone colour. A good one to use sparingly. The piccolo trumpet is the brightest brass instrument, but the high Eb, D and F trumpets are a good middle-ground. - Horn: alto, medium-warm. Another iconic brass sound, but this one is very flexible. Great for melody and alto lines. If you've got a full section, write in high-low pairs - there's info elsewhere about this tradition. - Trombone: tenor, bright. An excellent tenor counterpart to the trumpet, but capable of warmer sounds in quieter dynamics. The bass trombone emphasises this further, and can provide surprisingly warm piano sounds and fortissimo bright sounds that sound apocalyptic. - Euphonium: tenor, warm. Not traditional in the orchestra, but a great, flexible tune-carrying instrument that has a lot in common with the cello. Sounds really strong and clear in the upper register and warmer and more harmony-ey in the lower register. - Tuba: bass/contrabass, warm. Almost mismatched with the rest of the orchestral brass, the tuba has a very warm timbre that pairs well with the horns and can support all kinds of ensembles. Bass and contrabass tubas both exist, and have their own strengths and weaknesses - the bass tuba works a lot like the euphonium, whereas the contrabass tuba is the lowest instrument in the orchestra. - Glockenspiel: sopranino, bright. A brilliant sound that makes a great decoration. The celesta sounds similar but slightly warmer. - Xylophone: soprano, bright. Warmer than a glockenspiel, but its distinctive sound is still easiest to use as a decoration. - Vibraphone: soprano/alto, medium-warm. Found its voice in jazz, but makes a great staple sound in the percussion section. - Marimba: tenor/bass, warm. I love the marimba and it's a great warm tenor/bass voice. Tone colour can very with mallets, but that's a pretty technical matter - either write the part you want and leave it to the player to choose mallets or work with whoever you're going to get to play it. - Timpani: tenor/bass, warm. Not quite flexible enough to carry the melody, but great for accenting and supporting key chord tones. - Violin: sopranino/soprano/alto, bright-medium-warm. Bowed strings have a large range and change tone colour quite a lot as they go up and down: brighter up high and warmer down low. The violin can go into the sopranino range, and becomes very bright, but tends to stay in its middle range, where its tone colour is warmer. Right at the bottom, it can get a bit gruff. - Viola: soprano/alto, medium-warm. As above, can change tone colour a lot. A viola in its upper register does not sound like a violin in its middle register. Same for its overlap with the cello. - Cello: tenor/bass, medium-warm. In its upper register, it makes a great tune-carrying, light-voiced tenor instrument. In its lower register, it makes a great support player. - Double bass: contrabass, warm. Less flexible than its smaller cousins, but performs a vital role in the contrabass register. Write it in octaves with the cello, or let it do its own thing. Similar tone colours and tessituras reinforce each other. Different tone colours and tessituras can clash, but also are what makes a tutti sound big. In my own writing, I once added a bass clarinet because I wanted to reinforce the cello in its low, warm role with something more delicate than a tuba. It worked beautifully. In the same section, I buddied up the bassoon and trombone - they share a tessitura and tone colour, and worked really well to reinforce each other. The moment the bright and warm instruments are playing together, you know it's going to sound big! Tip #2: write in SATB, or similar. Instruments from different sections can carry the same parts and work together. This can also help the daunting problem - get SATB lines on the page, then figure out which instruments you want to share, which instruments you want in octaves, which you want to play non-SATB parts and which ones you want to rest. Also, if you'll indulge me a moment of chaotic evil, Tip#X: learn alto clef and write your viola, horn and possibly clarinet parts in alto clef. It matches the tessitura of the instruments better - their middle range is in the middle of the staff, etc. - and it helped me, psychologically, to keep the parts in the right register for the instruments. Though, I do play the viola, so horses for courses.

This is a really good breakdown of getting the hang of orchestral writing! Only thing I'd have to add is just to expand on the 'reference track' part--a great way to get comfortable with orchestral writing is to study a LOT of orchestral pieces, particularly from different genres. I find you can divide it very very broadly into three types--Broadway/musical scoring, film/video game scoring, and classical orchestras. All three have fairly different orchestra setups and uses for the different subgroups, and honestly just picking like, a favorite film score, a favorite classical piece, and a favorite Bway tune (ideally from the 50s-80s, when 20-piece orchestras were more common), pulling up the score and studying it will do a lot to teach you about how to use an orchestra. The only thing I would disagree on is I don't think it's necessary for each subgroup to stand on their own independent of the others. I would even go so far to say that this could potentially lead to arrangements that are too heavy from doubling up all the different melodies and textures. If you pull up the opening to Star Wars (IMO a really fantastic primer for orchestral arranging) you'll note that the woodwinds and violins are only providing light textural additions while the brunt of the melody/chordal material sits with the brass and low strings. This of course works really well in the full arrangement, where if you were to double all of that material throughout the orchestra it just wouldn't balance right. It can sometimes be very helpful to think of each subgroup as a different part of the overall arrangement, be it melody, chords, harmonic texture, rhythmic texture, etc. (another really great song I think works as an excellent primer on orchestral arranging is "Another Hundred People" from the musical Company. In that song's original orchestration by Johnathan Tunick, the power of the piece comes from how cleanly delineated the textures of each subgroup are. The woodwinds play a spritely ostinato, the brass is used on the chordal material in strong accented beats, while the strings play a smooth countermelody that sits atop the busy rhythms. It's a wonderful example of each instrument group focusing on a different aspect of the arrangement, in a way that complements each other and strengthens the overall piece.

he's baaaaaaack I remember encounter lots of those problematic when i was doing my orchestral arrangement of some of the Castlevania's OST ^^ especially the 4th and F*** me the last one, making things as they come and just making a choice on what stays and what goes is just life saving for your sanity x) Rovshan Asgarzade from the channel "The Secrets of Orchestration" has a really good system for making coherent ornementations it's quite a fun system, might wanna check it out :3

i'm not very experienced in writing orchestral music but one thing i like doing is blending things between sections. instead of thinking of a section as an instrument, i change "instruments" during the whole piece, and even split subsections into several "instruments" (for example splitting my clarinets, cl. 1 doubles the melody while cl. 2 and 3 double the chords)

Amazing video! Beautiful arrangement as well. This video hit multiple interests for me so I'm really happy. You didn't really talk about the percussion aspect of the arrangement and I would love to know how you went about writing those parts and how you recorded the instruments. I'm super inspired now! Thank you!

I was just playing shadow of the colossus and thinking about how much I could use a 8-bit music theory to help me write music like that 😭 thank you very much

I really enjoyed this video! My two cents as a cellist....what a godawful key to play in!! Your professional instrumentalists did a fabulous job, but five sharps is not a great key to make strings really resonate at our max potential ^^

I believe something you could really change is the dynamics, Make em more drastic! and maybe some microrythm stuff ^^

I've watched most of your videos and I'm always astounded by the amount of information and content that I can find in them, but I got to ask how do you come up with these questions and where do you get this advice from?
