Adrien de Croy: Symphony No. 1 (complete)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- Here is my first symphony. It's been a while in the making, starting in mid 2021.
Since then a lot of things have happened in the world.
For me this music is an attempt to portray a spectrum of emotions, from love, joy, and contemplation through to betrayal, shock, anger and finally triumph.
I hope you like my music. If you do, please leave me a comment. These are what composers live for and why I write music.
Movement 1 (0:00)
Movement 2 (8:25)
Movement 3 (22:18)
Movement 4 (26:56)
This music was rendered directly from Sibelius 2023.8, using NotePerformer 4.4 (BBCSO, SSO, HOOPUS and CSB). Final touch is FabFilter Pro-R reverb.

From one composer to another, impressive work! I especially love the slow buildups and the creative harmonies!
Thank you very much!
That was a massive undertaking and your command of the software is impeccable. Bravo!
thanks. Yes it's a bit of work!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Sounds great, Adrien!
Thanks Gene!
Beautiful music, really moving at some points. Is there a way we can work together? I'm from Italy, I'm writing a very long poem and I want to take it to theater. I'm composing some of the music, but I would like some help!
Hi! Thank you! I'm glad you like my music, send me a message on Facebook. Same name and profile pic as here on youtube.
@@adriendecroy7254 My messenger stopped working: it says I committed an error in managing my "fan page"... and I have absolutely no idea what that means. Can I write you on instagram?
sure, instagram.com/adrien.decroy/
Beautiful symphony, as a fellow composer I was very drawn to the introduction and your voice leading! Keep up the compositions!
Thanks Brian! Don’t see myself stopping composing any time soon.
@@adriendecroy7254 Wonderful!
I have a question for you, as a young composer:
How have you networked with musicians and composers in your life? Do you ever see this being performed by a professional orchestra? Because this listens like a proper symphony.
Hi. I started playing in orchestras many many years ago, so I know a lot of musicians and conductors. I was on community orchestra committees, and I was also involved in arts sponsorship, and a record label and studio in the early 2000s. So when I started writing in 2018 I already had a lot of contacts. It does help certainly. I've had a handful of performances and I hope this work will be performed too. Thanks for the compliment, I was trying to write a proper symphony.
What about driving a boat into an island….I think that must have had something to do with this music! Haha 😂wonderful Adrien! 🎉❤️🧚🏻♀️
@@kirstenmorrell Thanks for the reminder! I haven't thought about that for a very long time... 😆😆
Hi Adrien, great job with this symphony! I just listened to it (slightly out of order since I came here from the V is for Virtual Orchestra channel), and I love so much about this symphony, and would love to hear it played professionally.
Also interesting you went the NP4 NPPE route - I see you got some great results mixing a few different libraries. I've yet to bite the bullet on any NPPE package, I mostly have Orchestral Tools and so far results with the OT Berklee extension have been underwhelming for my music. The HOOPUS NPPE demos were the most convincing for me but this too just didn't work well when I tried it for any of my music. I would love to get away from the DAW and spend more time just composing. Did you find you had to employ a lot of "tricks" (or tweaks) to get NotePerformer to sound as you wanted it to?
Thanks so much Jesse! I would love to get a good performance of it, maybe will have a couple of options later this year. There are some ways my writing changed when I moved from NP3 to NP4. NP3 is very precise, and probably more precise in some areas than real players. I get tuition from a conductor for orchestration (not conducting), and he said the new one was more realistic in terms of the kind of issues you will have with a real orchestra as people are not quartz crystals. So I had to in general shorten things up, remove a lot of slurs to allow motifs to sound through. I found I also needed to think a lot about when notes finish (not just when they start), and how they finish. But other than that it took me some time to find my preferred instruments (hence the combination of libraries). Different sections in different libraries work better or worse than each other depending on the piece as well. This stuff is still pretty new, and I think NP will develop a lot over the coming year too.
@@adriendecroy7254 Exciting that you may have opportunities to get this in front of live players! I will keep my eye on NP4 using NPPE some more, I'm sure it will improve with time - you've done some remarkable things with it here with the technology AND the composition. I'll be coming back to this symphony just to listen and maybe get inspiration!
This symphony is absolutely amazing, Adrien! Great! I congratulate you!
Thanks so much Stefan.
Dear Adrien, congratulations on the wonderful piece! It's an amazing work. Can I also ask which computer program you use - it sounds really nice in it. Thank you
Dear Ivan, thank you so much for your very kind words about my Symphony! I use Sibelius, and the sound is generated via NotePerformer 4 with a number of sample libraries such as Spitfire BBCSO and SSO, East West Hollywood Orchestra, and samples from Cinematic Studio Strings and Brass.
That held my attention and was emotional! Bravo!
Thank you! That's really heartening to hear. All we really hope for is to hold the listener's attention and make them feel something.
It is really a very sweet emotional symphony- reminds me romantic era, however, I would appreciate if you tell us more about using AI in the writing process. I am just a little confused about that. Thank you.
Hi! Thanks for your kind words. I don’t use any AI in writing, all notes I place manually. I use NotePerformer for rendering which uses AI to train various things, like dynamic balance between instruments, I think the results of that process are baked into NotePerformer and it’s not doing any real-time AI when rendering I don’t think.
