Been over a year since I wrote a new piano piece, so I thought I'd try to compose something with a similar vibe to the last one but with a more modern colour palette. Handwritten score because it's satisfying to make 💫 Playback using Modartt Pianoteq 8

Symphonic Prelude in B major - Musescore 4.2 with Muse Sounds
Переглядів 2,5 тис.10 місяців тому
A 4'33-long orchestral prelude based off of this little impressionistic piano piece: ua-cam.com/video/4vTVmqkNp1Y/v-deo.html I'm slowly getting around to orchestrating some of my other piano pieces too, so there's more coming soon! Fingers crossed that Musescore might get some updated brass playback in the future, but I'm still happy with how things are sounding.

I haven't posted in a while, so here's an old sketch/demo I made for my modern jazz quartet last year. Just imagine some trumpet, drums, and solos! Composed by yours truly.

'Dream's End' - a symphonic composition
Переглядів 13 тис.Рік тому
thx tantacrul Here's my first full-length orchestral piece, based off of that sketch I posted last month! Really enjoying writing with MuseScore 4, though I had to cater much of the piece to the strengths of Muse Sounds, and avoid choices that pushed the samples too far. As always, inspired by Debussy, Ravel, and Joe Hisaishi. Headphones because it's very dynamic. Composed by Thad Bailey-Mai
An Unfinished Dreamy Sketch for Orchestra - MuseScore 4 using Muse Sounds
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
Update: Here's a link to the finished one - ua-cam.com/video/SIW-2OIOJ5E/v-deo.html An unfinished dreamy orchestral sketch, trying to channel some Debussy and a pinch of Scriabin. Likely the first movement of something longer. I'm still loving the new Muse Sounds, but the sluggish strings are pretty frustrating at times. But hey, you can't beat free lol

A Sketch in G for Orchestra - An homage to Ravel

My first attempt at an orchestral composition. Using Musescore 4 and Muse Sounds. Inspired by Ravel (Tombeau), Vaughan Williams, and Joe Hisaishi. IG: thadd.eus The structure of the opening motif was subconsciously inspired by Le Tombeau De Couperin, though pretty much by accident/unwittingly. It could be considered a variation of the aforementioned, and is definitely an homage to the brillianc...
A sketch in G Major for piano - An homage to Ravel

Composed by Thad Bailey-Mai An Homage to Ravel’s Tombeau De Couperin, further inspired by Vaughan Williams, & Joe Hisaishi. The structure of the opening motif was subconsciously inspired by Le Tombeau De Couperin, though unwittingly/unintentionally! It could be considered a variation of the aforementioned, and is definitely an homage to the brilliance of Ravel’s impressionistic style.

Beautiful
well i'd love to be able to pay you for the sheet music but i've taught myself this from the video and it's still genuinely one of my favourite pieces:') and probably my best warmup piece, it just feels wonderfully fluid to play
A great impressionistic composer^^
Hello, Sorry to bother but I´d like to learn this piece, do you offer any sheet music on pdf or smt like that?
That reminds me of Stravinsky and Debussy.
Beautiful!
Nice style, is it like impressionism? Love the jazzy harmonies. Very free form, love it. It's inspiring I should try something like this.
I like the gradual increase in tension and the element of disturbance and disruption that comes to head and retreats....the ending is also has the distinct effect of leaving something behind.
It has moments of strong Joe Hisaishi influence. A really excellent piece!
Definitely a huge influence!
Really fantastic stuff yet again! Feels like a cross between Copland/Zelda/yoshimatsu, which all feel light and refreshing and delightfully off-kilter. And also great work pulling this great of a sound out of musescore. Keep writing!
Thank you :) I definitely feel like you nailed the influences/overall intended vibe of the piece! Glad you liked it. Also, I’ve been really enjoying all of the piano pieces you’ve been posting as well lately!
beautiful! seeing your videos inspires me to learn to write music!
That’s really nice to hear! I started writing music by just fooling around at the piano, and seeing what stuck. I hope you give it a try!
@@thadbaileymai Yes, I definitely will! Composing orchestral scores has always been my dream. :)
Really lovely.
nice bassoon writing
I don't like it. Its very uncomfortable to listen to.
Gorgeous orchestration of your already very nice piano piece! The instrument associations and the resulting textures are so well chosen and a delight to hear. There is something reminiscent of your Sketch in G piece (itself somewhat reminiscent of Ravel's music), I guess this must be your personal style and preferences that I sense across your music. I'm curious to know if you used MuseScore sounds or external instruments plugins for the rendering?
Thank you, I was actually intending on this piece being in a similar style to the Sketch in G piece, but with some different “vocabulary” so to speak. It’s definitely reflective of many of my preferences! For the sounds, it’s entirely MuseScore, but with lots of hidden dynamics, articulation, and even duration markings. Unfortunately it wouldn’t play back nearly as cleanly without a lot of additional tweaking.
Dear Thad, congratulations to your work! My name is Andreas, I´m a conductor in Germany. Are you interested to write a piece for a real orchestra and choir? Best wishes Andreas
Hello Andreas, thank you so much for your interest in my music. My work schedule is quite busy for the next few months, but I am definitely interested in your thoughtful offer! Feel free to contact me through my website at thadbaileymai.com/contact 😊
@@thadbaileymai Sent you an Email. 🙂
I really like your work. I wonder how you create these thumbnails with images in the background. Is there any option to display sheet music on a transparent background in musescore?
Thank you! I just make them in Canva. You can also change the background behind the score in MuseScore under the appearances tab.
This is so cool.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sounding great as always :D
Man, this is so good! Thank you for inspiring all of us!
Oh my gosh, this is such a beutiful peice! The ways in which the different lines, melodies and countermelodies mesh and balance with each other while still bringing out the contrast in textures over the entire arrangement withought letting the complexity of the peice convolute it is really cool!! You've been one of my biggest composition inspirations :)
I know the title is probably a joke, but this really does evoke mincecraft to me! well done!
I wrote a good chunk of this while I had a couple friends over playing Minecraft trying to convince me to join their realm instead of working… I think it rubbed off!
Ok. Nice score but kind of impossible to play for mediocre player.
Beautiful as always
Bonjour de la France 👍 Court mais génial, c'est toujours un grand plaisir d'écouter tes nouvelles créations de très belle musique contemporaine ! Pour ma part je continue à monter mon répertoire Bill Evans pour orchestre symphonique, je vise une quinzaine de transcriptions.
Nice composition and title! just Checked your piano piece, it was awesome. taking inspiration from your piece for my next composition.
Cool.
really enjoy how you toss the melody between instruments, gives it a nice light feel. How do you make the score fit the frame without it adding other lines? every time i hide unused staves it adds other lines into the frame.
Thank you! If I’m understanding you correctly, you can adjust how many bars fits into each page with the bracket keys or by selecting how many bars you want and hitting return/enter. You can also use spacers and page breaks to limit how many staves appear per page. Hiding unused staves will make the score messy at first, then you can do these adjustments afterwards.
@@thadbaileymai Okay, thanks so much!
Great textures and dynamics. Love these harmonies!
Lindo como sempre! Abraços do Brasil!
awesome woodwinds colors as always , where did you study music ?
Thank you :) I went to a small jazz school in Canada to study improv on trumpet, but I spend lots of time working on composition on my own time!
Breath taking.
Well, this is simply amazing.
Beautifully orchestrated!
holy shit this is good
I've heard this sketch two straight days, multiple times. Please develop and rock out. It's glorious!
adore this x100000
nice!
Gorgeous piece, well done !
Brilliant!
Beautiful
Always professional 💫
Thank you :)
This is honestly amazing!
Why does it sound some what like Ravel? I heard it, is it inspired from le tombeau de Couperin? But I love it!
Stunning..so beautiful!
Thank you for listening!! Glad that you’ve been enjoying these pieces.
Delicately interwoven balance between the instruments and catchy rhythms...a gem!
Bravo! I was feeling all of it. Again, BRAVO!!!
Very ugly
Wow! If that's your first attempt at an orchestral composition, love to hear where you go to from here.
It's melancholic and calm. Reminds me of past days gone.
