Well, I've written a good amount of stuff, although this is the first song that I think is halfway decent =D. It's about half done, and is intended for a full symphony. Hope you guys like it.

Is sheet music possible?

Is sheet music possible?What exactly do you mean? Do you mean does sheet music work on my program? Or do you want to see the sheet music for my song? If you're looking for a piano part I could arrange one for you. =D, sorry, if you could specificy is all.

Sorry, when I usually hear large ensembles, I ask for the sheet music, to point out technical issues. (I forgot you use GarageBand XD)

I'll comment later...

Yeah..I use garageband. Usually I wrewrite my music in Melody Assistant after I've finished it in garageband. As this is a work in progress i haven't started doing that yet. Erm, well, could you possibly critique without the score?

Yeah, just to explain. Melody Assistant doesnt record music in real time. So i go on Garageband, plug in my keyboard, pick a sound affect, press record, and play that instruments part on the keyboard. This way I piece together my songs. Then afterwards I just look at the notes in garageband and copy them over to Melody Assistant so i can save, print, and distribute them.

There's something I didn't like in the Double Bass at :15. Low strings (sometimes low woodwinds/brass) need time to 'speak', and fast notes (in my opinion) on just Double Bass (sometimes Cello, too) makes it seem very rushed. The crescendo didn't go well, in my opinion (:29 to :32). When orchestrating a crescendo, I try to follow the following format:

Start----------------------------------Finish
Strings> Woodwinds> Brass> (Strong) Percussion

Definitely not an orchestral or symphonic piece, as you say it... It feels like an electronica piece with synthy instruments trying to imitate real instruments as it lacks that 'orchestral' feel with your way of orchestrating, harmonizing, and 'styling' it. Furthermore, your percussion is to popular music like. Also, your orchestration is too messy in my opinion, everything just blabbered together with not colour and character definition. If you really have an urge to do something for symphonic orchestra, read some orchestration books. A book I recommend would be The Study of Orchestration by Samuel Adler.

As for orchestrating a crescendo, it doesn't really matter in my opinion, as long as you don't start with forte brass or forte timpani. There are a few ways to orchestrate a penetrating crescendo. An effective way can be through repetition and adding certain instruments at certain points, or you can build a crescendo 'vertically' by building up a chord to a climax point.

I'm going to make a new thread with my two songs in it, so that there isn't confusion. Nobody needs to respond on this one anymore.
