My recent mid tempo orchestral composition with three parts. The first part is written in chromatic mediants G# maj, B major, D major and back to G# major.
The second part, the slow one with only strings playing, has a complex harmony with modulations in C# min.
In orchestration I went for a bit of piano, kalimba, woodwinds and low strings. I also used duduk and celli and violas in the rhythmic parts.
It’s very different to what I usually listen to! To be honest I preferred the parts that were less oriental with the piano and strings but then that’s just a matter of taste! Anyways this is still magnificent as I really love your use of woodwinds!
I am exploring various genres and harmonies and orchestrations…you may like parts of it, find it interesting or not… as you said it is matter of taste. You may listen more at http://soundcloud.com/jlesnichy
