Kirby's Adventure - Orange Ocean Orchestra

Just a little orchestration/remix of Orange Ocean from Kirby's Adventure. It's one of the ones that I went a little further from the source as there's not much to the original. It's short (though the source material is less than 30 seconds long) but I consider it finished.

Any comments on realism, what works and what doesn't are welcome. I'm really happy with how the middle part turned out 30 seconds on. The Oboe I wasn't so happy with but really realistic woodwinds are still tough to do. I think I played it a bit too safe so it's a little dull.

holy cow.

pretty top notch orchestral sequencing you've got there. the legato strings in the B section are drop dead gorgeous. really the only thing I can contribute is praise, cause I don't know how to orchestrate this well.

I think the judges would probably ask for more arrangement though (if submitting is your thing)

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed the piece! Glad to hear the strings sound great as I think string writing has been one of my weaknesses in the past. It's one of the things I've been practicing at, so I'm happy to hear it's paying off.

I have no plans to submit it or anything, but I might take a look at extending it a little when I have some spare time.

I think by "dull" you mean "amazing". 8O

It does come across as a reserved, calm arrangement, but there's 0% wrong with it. It put me in mind of a big, majestic map view. Kirby sits on his idling warp star, patiently waiting for the player to choose what location in the sprawling high-definition Orange Ocean they wish to go to.

Now excuse me, I'm going to go listen to this again about 5,000 times.
