Waltz No. 7 in Am Orchestrated

Share Download this song

Author Comments

This is the free, low quality, orchestrated version of my waltz in Am in my new recording of Guitar Suite No.2 - Russia. The CD will have a solo guitar arrangement. The waltz is a dance in 3/4 time

I chose to use DSK Virtuoso instead of my East West samples for this one.

Hm...

Unlike Chomposaur, Classical surely is my musical preference, and when I heard this song, I was quite impressed, although I think your guitar works are a bit better xP. The quality of sound wasn't too special, and this is pretty short. Still, what the heck, I still enjoyed it nonetheless. Oh, and on a totally unrelated note, your 'EDIT:' author's comment makes no sense xD.

The melody, like in all your submissions, was superb. Maybe I just like it because I love minor keys, but still, that's one awesome melody in my opinion. Not only that, but there were a lot of changes in the rhythm of the melodies, and even though I think you could have varied the rhythm of every bar a little more, even if with just subtle changes, I still like the rhythm as it is so nice work there. It's also nice to see that this piece is in 3/4 time instead of 4/4, I'm kind of tired of hearing 4/4 here on NG all the time :P. So yeah, basically the composition of this piece was excellent, and I can't really expect less from you.

The instruments, on the other hand, weren't as good. I think you should have used the East/West samples instead, I'm pretty sure that they're much higher quality. Also, I think that the instruments were dosed in too much reverb. Either that, or the mixing in this isn't that good, since it sounds a little blurry and muddy... In addition to that, I'm a little confused as to what instrumentation you used. I can hear strings, but I *think* hearing an organ too O.o. Maybe it's the bad quality of the instruments, or it could be the low quality of the MP3 which makes me unsure of the instrumentation, I don't know...

The transitions are all fine, and I can't really find any abrupt transitions. The structure was alright, but I would've really liked to see some new sections of the song with maybe some solos, since a lot of the time the song stayed on the same level and didn't really go anywhere, if you get what I mean (i.e. it doesn't reach any climax or some sort of calmer part). The variety was good, although it would've been cool if you introduced some new instruments to keep the variety going. As for the intro, to be honest I think it dragged on for a bit too long, but the outro was fine.

So yeah, overall, I don't really think this is one of your best. It doesn't have as much of a clearness of instrumentation as I would've wished it to have, and it's not something I'd listen to a second time if I had the option to. Still, the melody, as usual, is amazing, and it's still a cool submission nevertheless. Good job, keep it up!
8/10
5/5 because of 0-bombers.

I see what you mean. There is no organ in this piece, and you're not the first to make that comment. It uses a harpsichord, oboe, brass section, strings (staccato/normal) , flutes, and violins. I am considering redoing this with a better library, but I liked the way this one sounded. I agree about the reverb, I think I was trying to go for a realistic sounding recording with the reverb, but I ended up have a song with a crappy library doused in too much reverb.

I have a habit of writing in 3/4, it's the natural time signature for me. I agree, this doesn't really go anywhere musically, it's pretty stagnant, but that's kind of what I wanted. It's hard to explain.

I'll have to use a real library instead of DSK free stuff.

Thanks for the review!

Cool track

Classical isn't really my personal style but this was pretty enjoyable regardless. Reminds me of a castle somewhere.

Glad you liked it regardless of your musical preference!
