The King`s Entry - Short orchestral piece

[stefan_telser]

Hi all,

"The King's Entry Into Jerusalem"

This piece was produced with Chamber Strings, Mute Trumpet (Brass I - extended) Flute (Woodwinds I - extended) and some additional instruments from the Standard Edition.

Editing and mixing was done in Cubase 7.0.

I'd be grateful for any comments (no matter if you like it or not).

Thanks

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I enjoyed it [:)]

Only comment from me would be to consider allowing your brass player from about 0.22s onwards some pauses for breath.

Thanks Stephen!

Very good observation about the brass players breath.

Only comment from me would be to consider allowing your brass player from about 0.22s onwards some pauses for breath....???

Yes, I very much like the slow processional sound that basically builds into a march as the piece progresses, and I think you handle the solo instruments at the beginning nicely. 

My only critiques would be that the strings at 0.22 come in a little sharply for me, and might do better with a softer attack (or maybe a little more focus on reverb?). They also sound a little choppy around 0.43, maybe in need of thickening?

 

That's just my two cents. Great stuff!

Thanks so much for listening and your comments!

I still feel that I'm very much concerned with just handling the software properly instead of getting the music right. I work with Sibelius and Cubase both of which are rather complex. Not to mention to pick the right samples in VSL.

I bought myself Professional Orchetsraton from Peter Alexander Lawrence and try to midi mockup as many of his examples as possible with VSL. I find his coverage of the various instuments and their ranges quite helpful.

As I said this is primarily just to finally get a grip of the software involved. Takes a lot of time, thought.

Best Stefan
