Sounds actually unbelievable. I still think there's some weird stuff (not in this example tho haha) that needs to be worked on but this is definitely the way to go. Also, this composition is great! Really inspiring.
There’s definitely some kinks to be worked out, still! Particularly with dynamics and articulations. Most changes in dynamics have to be accompanied with hairpins or else artifacts come up, and I had to throw excessive slurs and staccato markings everywhere to balance out the differences amongst instruments/sections. Hopefully something that can be amended with updates!
@@thadbaileymai Spot on, p seems to mean entirely different volume ranges for various instruments. I end up using the mixer to balance them out (doesn't fix it all though)
@@JackWabbitTV Sibelius also used a soundfont, it's still disappointing compared to Noteperformer which is still the best thing to use when it comes to orchestral audio.
They earn enough through website subscriptions to make it possible and they are passionate and non-greedy enough to make their funds work. So satisfying to see community-financed passion projects avoiding to get money-horny and coming to fruition non the less.
If I wasn't listening carefully and didn't already know this was MuseSounds, I would've thought it was a real performance, or at least a really good professional-grade VST. The fact that MuseScore now offers such realistic playback quality is nothing short of impressive!
Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous! There’s this amazing lightness and fluttery-ness to the music, and it takes you away on this short but wonderful journey. Love the use of extensions in the harmony, it added so much color. This reminded me of something by Takashi Yoshimatsu. And the playback on MuseScore is the closest now we can get to a live orchestra using a notation software, and it sounds amazing. Incredible work, and I can’t wait to see what else you write.
Beautiful! The ascending quartal motif in the strings especially got me. I can't say I'm familiar with Hisaishi, but your piece has piqued my interest in his work too! A couple minor notes on notation: In the section beginning at m. 36, the ascending chromatic lines would be better notated with sharps so that they don't immediately have to be canceled. It's also good practice, when you're finished with your score, to make the final system stretch to the edge of the page, adjusting the measure count in the previous pages as necessary so there isn't any noticeable change in horizontal spacing. (I hope this is something MuseScore can make automatic in the future!) If this is your first orchestral piece, I can only imagine things will go up for you from here. Keep it up!
Thank you, I appreciate the helpful and constructive feedback! My engraving skills definitely need some improving, so hopefully subsequent pieces I upload have fewer notable issues.
Wowwww!!!!!!!!! I am very astonished by your piece, like woww, it's very much impressionism and goes to the levels of Debussy and even Ravel like woww great* job!!!
Before seeing this I was like “no way I’m downloading another application on my phone, besides Musescore 3 is fine!” Now, it’s currently downloading on my Mac. Just WOW on the instrument quality!!!
Wonderful sketch! MuseScore 4 is a huge blessing for composers. Very realistic sounding and to think it's all freely available is WOW! Thanks for sharing!
Lots of wonderful chord changes that bring out that impressionist feel. For a first piece in orchestra you’ve done well. I’d stay away from the melodic instrument repeating so much, especially rhythmically. Trade it off across other instruments, give it an answering call, that sort of thing. Your orchestration, especially balancing supporting instruments is especially good. I loved the rising bass line from the basement - moves the piece along very well and moved me, too. That’s what music should do, and judging from all of your fawning listeners, you nailed it. Keep writing! I’m going to subscribe!
I listened to your piano rendition of this which was excellent in its own right, but I must say, the orchestration techniques on display here are superb and really bring the composition to the next level.
Beautiful and light. So nice to hear something dreamy and yet its computer made. Musescore gives us the tools to sound like we are conductors of a real symphony. 🎉
Really lovely composition and I'm genuinely quite staggered by the quality of the sounds. They seem like a big upgrade from last time I used version 3.
my new favorite compostion from now on i will be a fan of u lol its amazing that u used only musescore with muse sound well i really like this piece more than your inspiration from ravel u remind me that maybe the wisdom of the composer may matter more than the tools respect
TBM> The structure of the opening motif was subconsciously inspired by Le Tombeau De Couperin... Beautiful! It did seem vaguely familiar, but I didn't think of Ravel till you mentioned it. 😉 I think your piece quite stands on its own, though. It's also a great demo of MuseScore 4's excellent orchestral sounds. Cheers!
Wow, wow, wow! If you told me this was a real orchestra playing a professional composition, I'd probably believe you! On closer inspection, of course the playback isn't perfect, but wow, this is nothing short of amazing.
MuseSounds is definitely a big credit to Musescore - to my ears its on a par with NotePerformer and much better that the default sounds in other notation apps. The improvements to the engraving rules take Musescore up several levels. If you put aside that Musescore is free and just ask oneself which notation app is my go to choice, I would choose musescore over Sibelius. Would I choose it over Dorico... mmm that's a difficult decision.
Fine composition man! And for sure the Muse team will continue to polish the sounds and all etc. But at this point the sounds and playback are Fabulous. Go Team!!!

@@thadbaileymai I was listening to an old piece and a sfz scared the shit out of me lol
@@swaree Aren't sfz supposed to do that though? lol
@@thadbaileymai Spot on, p seems to mean entirely different volume ranges for various instruments. I end up using the mixer to balance them out (doesn't fix it all though)
It felt like the Clarinet lacked... Presence. Like it was either too quiet, or the attack way too slow.
Strings sound pretty awesome though!
Musescore’s Sound is finally not a joke, nice composition
It's still a joke when it comes to piano, Muse Keys is the worst crap I've ever heard.
Tbf its default sounds are better than Sibelius'
@@JackWabbitTV Sibelius also used a soundfont, it's still disappointing compared to Noteperformer which is still the best thing to use when it comes to orchestral audio.
@@PiotrBarcz they sound pretty good to me
@@t1m0thyduk3 Take a listen to Noteperformer, it blows them out of the water.
I’m genuinely surprised Musescore is completely free. This composition blew me away!
Yeah i mean you can literally do so much with it
They earn enough through website subscriptions to make it possible and they are passionate and non-greedy enough to make their funds work. So satisfying to see community-financed passion projects avoiding to get money-horny and coming to fruition non the less.
@@Zula_The_Squid fr i'm really grateful
This is what happens when software is made for people, not for profit
Great composition. Muse sounds is just so great
Thank you! Yeah I’m just blown away that free notation software is this good now.
@@thadbaileymai we can have nice things after all
It's much more inspiring to compose music from this point of time. MuseScore is a game changer.
The inspiration from ravel's " Le tombeau de couperin " is very clear and i love it !
i love that song played by moinet
@@edwardkim2416 or by Keigo Mukawa !
Yeah definitely Ravel vibes, tasty. MS4 sounding superb
I am frigging in love with musescore 4. So happy and impressive with the folks over at their team
If I wasn't listening carefully and didn't already know this was MuseSounds, I would've thought it was a real performance, or at least a really good professional-grade VST. The fact that MuseScore now offers such realistic playback quality is nothing short of impressive!
Beautiful! Reminds me of Ralph Vaughan Williams
My exact thought at the beginning
I was about to say the same! Lovely
... I heard references to The Lark Ascending. Very nice.
The fact this sounds better than my $1000 worth of sound libraries is sad..
I hear beautiful shades of "Le Tombeau de Couperin" and I'm loving it
Very reminiscent of Le Tombeau de Couperin by Ravel. I really like it!
Beautiful composition!!
I can tell this is a "variation" on Ravel's Prelude from le tombeau de Couperin!
Great exercise!
I had this exact thought when I listened to it :))
Yeah it is pretty obvious
I thought that was just reverse Couperin, but it really was variation.

I really like this composition. Muse sounds does a great job with the audio playback. Now it will be easier than ever to see creative work shine.
Wowwww!!!!!!!!! I am very astonished by your piece, like woww, it's very much impressionism and goes to the levels of Debussy and even Ravel like woww great* job!!!

Right the jump from 3 to 4 is so wild
wow this sounds amazing
That pizzicato at the start was dope
Reminds me of ravel's le tombeau de couperin, its very pretty
For a first attempt this is truly incredible! It's really inspiring to see!
Beautiful composition - this sounds way better than the BBC orch library IMO.
flute vibrato spot on
I am in love with 1:07 . THAT FLUTE PART 😩
Very nice!
Great work! I really gotta download musescore 4 as soon as I'm able. It's incredible.
What a fantastic piece to showcase the power of MuseScore 4. Great job!

Great!
Ireally like the Muse woodwind sounds.
Very nice, lush and warm !
this piece is so flowing and free spirited, i love it! really nice work!
possibly one of my all-time favorite compositions. Love chromatisms in part B! And the new soundfounts are great
Sounds lovely and I like how the music creates the impression of moving water slowly rising and falling, flowing wherever it needs to.
I listened to your piano rendition of this which was excellent in its own right, but I must say, the orchestration techniques on display here are superb and really bring the composition to the next level.
love it 💚
1:24 amazing chord.
So well done.
So Ravellian....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
Ravel is my favorite composer!
thx Tantacrul
He should be world president
@@martinhsl68hw he should but it would get called white privilege an he'd get cancelled
Sounds amaizing
Well, this is simply amazing.
So good Thad!!!
Really great!! Time to look more into MuseScore 4.. it looks amazing
Beautiful and light. So nice to hear something dreamy and yet its computer made. Musescore gives us the tools to sound like we are conductors of a real symphony. 🎉
i knew musescore was the best. I knew it all along!
great piece too
it sounds fantastic, great composition. the vibes are real
WHOA THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
What a wonderful sketch!
This would make a great organ scherzo movement too.
more please.
Great work with this.
The melody is playful at that tempo. Love the Soundfont being used, it sounds so much like a real orchestra!
Beautiful
I love the new muse sounds dude, it makes playback great, especially in your composition, this is great dude
I definitely see some inspiration from Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin. Absolutely stunning
This is such a beautiful piece! It would be so cool to see your composition process if possible!
This was absolutely lovely and inspiring, thank you :) especially for someone working at about 1am here - I'm all good to continue now :D
Lovely!
Really lovely composition and I'm genuinely quite staggered by the quality of the sounds. They seem like a big upgrade from last time I used version 3.

a stunning composition, and it sounds phenomenal!
Thanks for sharing
Nice composition!
This is brilliant BRILLIANT work. I use staffpad as well. Love this composition. Amazing work.
If this is really your "first try" at orchestra - chapeaux!
Fabulous job! I really like it!

Lovely sounds, but in particular I appreciate the composer’s voice here. Thanks for sharing this.
0:30 Nice. I like that sequence
First attempt? That's really a master attempt! Bravo!
Gorgeous writing
Quality of this is simply unbeliveable!
This piece has made my morning. Amazing!
I love the world you created! You brought it to life! It's so lovey!
Wow! This sounds amazingly beautiful!
Wow, wow, wow! If you told me this was a real orchestra playing a professional composition, I'd probably believe you!
On closer inspection, of course the playback isn't perfect, but wow, this is nothing short of amazing.
This is a beautiful piece, would love to hear it played live!
Love how the fluttering theme float around various instruments; beautiful and awe-inspiring.
so good👏👏👏
Absolutely phenomenal.
Wow! If that's your first attempt at an orchestral composition, love to hear where you go to from here.
This piece is incredible, one of favorites I've heard in a while

The beginning reminds me of Prelude from Le Tombeau de Couperin.
So beautiful! 🌺
This is actually amazing!! I am sure you have a super bright future as a composer!!!
This is stunningly beautiful
I like the ending. :D
Great Work, and very good use of the sounds!
Masterfully orchestrated
Absolutely beautiful!
incredible piece, really enjoyed hearing it
Woah this is cool
Sounds beautiful! Keep them coming.
Nice take on the Prelude from Ravel's Tombeau de Couperin! ;)
Fine composition man! And for sure the Muse team will continue to polish the sounds and all etc. But at this point the sounds and playback are Fabulous. Go Team!!!
of course my subscription expires right before all of it
