🎬 How to Write Music for Tragedy & Grief | ruclips.net/video/eV_GJgf-ouo/видео.html
Ambient music is one of the most popular genres around. And imitating the Skyrim soundtrack is easily one of my most highly requested videos!
In this video, we'll learn how to create the signature sound of the popular fantasy game, by learning how to write epic/cinematic chord progressions. Then we'll learn about structure and arranging for this genre, before ending it all with a look at general instrumentation and orchestration.

    Harpist here, the range of the harp is C1 to G7 idk how you do your octaves but its 47 strings Basically it's the really high G thats 3 notes below the Top C on a grand piano Its kind of frustrating when ive encountered music where I can't even play the non existent notes because now we have to rewrite the part which is something harpists do all the time, even in professional orchestras

      @Horrorlover65681 no offense taken at all! I think it was the connection. I was using OBS with my phone's camera but it didn't work as well as it has in the past. I unfortunately didn't realize anything was off until the video was done (Premiere's preview window is usually pretty jerky anyway). I decided to still upload so people could have a full month to prepare for the contest.

    Question: If I were to use a polyrhythm in my motif, would the fact that the motif's rhythm is different from the beat of the piece enough to create that internal contrast? Or not if I keep the note length the same?

  • @jacktaylor1185
    @jacktaylor1185 10 дней назад

    How would apply this techniques to writing parts for a typical band structure ( 2 guitars, drums bass and vocals ) for rock/pop. Thanks in advance !

    • @TableTopComposer
      @TableTopComposer 9 дней назад

      counterpoint isn't typically used in genres involving a "typical band structure" but that doesn't mean it can't be useful :) I'd say that the most common use tends to be for writing counter melodies. For example, the singer might be performing the melody, while the lead guitar plays a secondary melody underneath. You can also use it to create more dynamic basslines. The strategy covered in this video can be useful anytime you want to write two or more "melodic" layers in your music, and want to make sure they don't clash. I hope that helps!

This helped me look at things from a different and logical perspective :) Thank you for the time it took to make this!
