Orchestration Analysis | Snowfall for Orchestra

In this video, I discuss my orchestration process for the piece Snowfall ( • Snowfall | Alex Heppel... ), which is based on a piano improvisation that I made many years ago.

Great work Alex, both the orchestration and the walk through.

Beautiful piece and thanks for sharing your thought process with us. It's always very informative.

[@AlexHeppelmann]

Thanks!

[@dwdougherty]

Thank you, Alex!

[@phaeraofficial]

Awesome piece!

[@JamesWatsonComposer]

This is so beautiful as a piano solo as well as an orchestral arrangement. I'm getting some miniscule inklings of James Newton Howard influence from this while still entirely original.

[@AlexHeppelmann]

Thanks so much!

Fascinating. Don’t you use the score editor when working in Cubase?

[@AlexHeppelmann]

Nope, I'm really not a fan of any DAW score editors for some reason.
