I have been absolutely loving these videos. I’ve been playing folk and jazz music for most of my life, but never felt qualified to write in a more “classical” style. You do such a great job of demystifying orchestral music so I finally have the confidence to start writing down my ideas. Thank you thank you!

I have seen countless "Cinematic Strings" videos that drag on for an hour and is basically a livestream recording. Your videos are dense and concise on the other hand. THANK YOU RYAN!

Back when I was playing violin in an orchestra for years, I just focused on playing my part and had no idea what everyone else was doing. I wish I had gotten just a simple 5 minute lesson on this sort of thing early on, exactly like this, and it would have given me such a better understanding of music and my role in the sound. For a brief time as a kid I thought it would be cool to be a composer but I just never got any education that would help me on that way.

The mention of parallel octaves set me back 13 years when I’d receive my harmony homework with red parallel lines all over it. Our teacher really didn’t want us playing it back on the piano to check our work, but looking back on it, I think I would have figured out how to practically apply what I learned in class if I hadn’t followed that guidance.

So today I was busy with a string section for a song I am working on and it just sounded all too ... flat and empty. So I listened to Across the Stars to find some idea or inspiration to guide me. Then your video just popped up explaining how to orchestrate better, fuller string sections using Across the Stars as an example. What a coincidence!

I think for a love theme the last one works best because the cello and the violins are singing in unison...as are the lovers..you can hear the male and female voice on the same page as it where...(I'm sure there are ways for writing for different combination other than male and female love matches off course...just the one I'm personally more interested in

i also think that its great to have the cellos play the melody is that most orchestras have the cellos on the opposite of the violins. giving it this effect of being wrapped up in the melody and really solidifies it as the melody
@snarf1504

While extended divisi is cool, lots of 'epic' string orchestration in a cinematic context is just two 'lines' in octaves, the melody and the bass. For example: vln 1, vln 2, vla on melody in two or even three octaves & vlc, and cb on the bass in octaves. For variation, the violas and cellos could fulfill rhythm or counterline duties. Either way, the brass and woodwinds fill out the rest of the chords & rhythms.

Hey Ryan! I only just discovered your channel two weeks ago, but the videos have been so enlightening that I've found myself drinking through most of them! Thanks for the lessons and the comprehensive way you provide us young urn with the info✌️😅. The example in the first 13 seconds of this particular video had me hooked immediately, and actually pushed me to try my hand at trying to expand one of my favourite pieces into an orchestral version of itself. It's slow going (I don't have much in the way of formal music training, and taught myself most of what little I know) but it's actually going 😄 Wish you could give your opinion on my attempt so far (fingers crossed on a response). But seriously, thanks for your content⭐

I was hoping you'd end on 3 octaves of melody. That is quite a lush sound. A caution though - if you're using live string players, be sure at LEAST 3 players are on each divisi part. So you'd need at minimum 12 violins, 6 violas and 6 celli, and preferably more than that. One way to make this even more lush and gorgeous without spoiling the character is to add a pad in the horns/trombones and double the melody's 3 octaves in flute oboe and bassoon.
