I really like Hiell's familiar and comfortable world of harmonies being developed in a grand orchestra. I laughed when the low strings hit pizzicato at high speed, thinking, ``This is actually impossible!'' and I like it. Amazing!
@@Panda-Iruka Thank you so much, this is so nice to hear! :D I am not actually sure if the fast pizzicato is easily playable, I don’t play a string instrument myself. But really good players should be able to manage it.
I feel as if you're the only contemporary composer I can come reliably to for memorable yet complex classical music --- and I certainly appreciate how you continuously get more ambitious with each piece!
Very nice counterpoint work, Averyn, I like the menacingly playful “astral subject” and the general way you orchestrated the piece. I get the compositional logic behind the coda, but I would have loved to hear the last few surprising “ star twinkles” at the very end:) But anyway - well done!
@@MrMDH1986 Thank you so much, I appreciate that a lot! (= I actually tried to incorporate the astral subject in the last few bars, but I felt like it was too fast, even in Largo, so I settled for a single augmented head of the subject. It’s interesting: most suggestions for improvement I receive, also for other pieces, are about the coda. I seem to struggle to get the ending right. ^^
@averynhiell I recommend him, a very interesting (and relatively famous) Late Romantic composer. The similarities of his style to your fugal piece are rather tangential but the orchestration (both the woodwinds and the brass), the perpetuum mobile element (like in his Falstaff symphonic poem/overture), the G minor cadence at the end (a bit like in the Enigma variations) remind me of him. Also, the modulations are like something he could have somewhere in his opus.
I really like it! It’s very well written, as is the standard for your pieces! I think some of the dynamics are a bit unbalanced in some places, but that’s the playbacks fault, not yours
@@jackeris1302 Thank you so much, I appreciate it! :D Yes, I agree about the dynamics. The playback is certainly less than ideal, but I have to add that I’m not very experienced with orchestration, so this could definitely be another reason.
@ something I do when I write with MuseScore is I’ll make a file that looks proper and sounds unbalanced, and then one that looks bad but sounds really good, and I’ll put the audio of the second over the visual of the first. It’s definitely more work, but I enjoy the whole process :)
@@jackeris1302 Thank you for the tip! (= I do a similar thing but all in the same file: when I want something louder or quieter even though it would look strange to have a certain voice have a different dynamic than the others, I hide the actual dynamic I want and make it so that the display dynamic doesn’t play. But I only do this in emergencies. Your approach might be more practical in this way. The thing is, adding dynamics is never the last step for me, I always find a couple of other things I want to change, which I then would have to do in two files, which sounds very exhausting. How do you deal with that?

I don't play low strings, but I do play viola, and it seems perfectly possible for me at least
@ Oh perfect, thank you, good to know! ^^
I write words, not notes, so I cannot comment technically. However your pursue of classical beauty in a world of pop and simple music is remarkable.
@@linoferrentino Thank you, I appreciate that! ^^

@@solidsnake8008 Thank you so much, this means a lot to me! :D
@@averynhiell You're so certainly welcome! Thank you for the music!
epic name for an epic fugue!

A very good one! From Bach and Mozart you have switched to Elgar and other of his contemporaries here, to a great result!
@@sdzhchannel Thank you so much! (=
I will check Elgar out, I didn’t know him before.

Fantastic fugue.😀❤️
@@mishasforzando Thanks a lot! :D
This is awesome!
@@gabe_the_musician Thanks a lot! :D
Amazing! It gives me vague vibes of the scherzo mvt. of Mahler 6 :)
@@maaikedam4909 Thanks a lot, I will check that out! ^^
vunderbar! feliz navidad and just a tiny bit terrifying!
@@eytonshalomsandiego Hey, welcome back and thanks a lot! :D
Really great! Which string samples do you use in musescore? Sounds beautiful!
@@tottitolvanen4677 Thank you! ^^ It’s the sample library of Musescore, which you can find in MuseHub. Called “MuseStrings” of I’m not mistaken.
