Composing an Orchestral Piece in 32 HOURS [NYU VLOG]

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- For an April 2nd, 2022 NYU Symphony Orchestra performance, I got to write a 6:30-min piece, scored to an animation by Kea Lia Pedersen entitled "She Could Be the Light."
It's a beautiful story and beautifully rendered, but it is fairly abstract and difficult to grasp, especially when there is no audio at all. With the limited time crunch, I struggled a lot, but made it through.
Composed in Dorico 3.5. First time completing a project with a large ensemble work in it. NotePerformer for the sounds of course.
Off to the Midwest Clinic next!
Music Featured in the video:
- She Could Be The Light
- Jurassic Park Rescore
- Arrival Rescore
- Flying Fish Rescore

This type of content is not only enjoyable to watch but it is grounded and sheds insight on the role of a working musician that I don't see anywhere else on youtube. Love this type of content, it's very inspiring indeed.
Agreed. The creative process, in my experience, can be a bumpy road. No two compositions share the same path to completion and it often can be frustrating, especially with the kind of restraints faced in this project - a very abstract film as the musical inspiration. Way to hang in there and get the job done though Mr. Choi and thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Was fun to take you along for the ride~
For sure! Think the hardest part is starting. All my work at school before my lesson went to waste, but it still got me a start and helped me approach it. Abstract films are so difficult, especially with this project where it'll be performed live to picture with no other dialogue or sound FX so I have to tell the entire story..
Keep up the good work bro
Thanks man!
So you make melodies for certain characters and just put them together?
In this case, sort of hahaha. Figured cause the film's so abstract I'd make it leitmotivic to glue things together and have story beats make sense. But I ended up only using maybe two themes throughout
@@DIDCHOI ahh, also did I just watch a 16 minute ad for dorico LOL
@@hyosyun3094 hahahahahahaha, it's a big part of my life nowadays I suppose. Spending like 4 years slowly transitioning from Sibelius to Dorico and I'm always amazed by it
musicxml is supported in dorico (ofcourse) and staffpad.. i don't see how that would give a problem? composing in staffpad and engraving/layouting in dorico. No experience with staffpad, but musicxml is a standard, so i cannot imagine it to be that difficult.
Good point. For me, when I'm hand writing, I'm trying to use a different part of my brain and its only for sketching really. I don't want to be tied down to specific bars and beats, and think about alignment of different things too much. I prefer it being more "on the page" and modular and movable. With that flow, for me its just easier to move away from handwriting and go into notation with a completely new mindset rather than breaking my flow converting XML, fixing problems, being annoyed by some minor layout issues, etc. hahaha
