Hand in Hand - Alice the Musical

[Reu]

Hey guys, one of the bigger projects I've been working on recently was a musical consisting of a 60 minute non-stop soundtrack.

Thought I'd share one of the stronger themes with you guys today:

Great piece! You have really good dynamics and the bass drum adds a really nice touch. IThe snare drum that comes in around 2:40 was interesting but seemed a little out of place. Also if you could speed up the tempo a little towards the end (i dunno if thats possible for you) it would make the finish really exciting.

Thank, haha the snare was put in to give the cast and audience something to clap to XD

I'll play around with speeding up he tempo.

So musical! This is cool and it really fits the musical style, I can imagine those bits where people would be singing hand in hand, the phrasing is just right for vocals. I don't think a tempo change is needed cause I was expecting a thicker dynamic instead near the end but then I don't know how vocals are going with it. I really like the snare though, I was just thinking "hey come on guys clap along!" so that's awesome.

To me the brass around halfway through the song seemed a little flat, then the trombones feel the same when the snare kicks in. I'd double the trombones with quieter brass.

Very nice though, congratso Reuben.

Hey Roe! Good to see you still around the forums!

Regarding the brasses, you mean flat as in the opposite to full?
