How to Orchestrate Like Mahler: Five-Minute Tutorial
Disclaimer: Five minutes can't possibly encapsulate the intricate and meticulous instrumentation Mahler employs in his works. But it may be enough for a quick tutorial to give you some ideas and a good sense of how he orchestrates.
Special thanks to Alexey for letting me orchestrate his great piano composition!

What terrible pointless video that didn't help me solve the problem with musescore playback.
Great notation! I'm currently learning about orchestration, and would really appreciate using this song to analyse the orchestration for a better understanding. Are you willing to share the MuseScore file? Much appreciated!
Beautiful and passionate!! Subscribed
As a lifelong 'historically informed' violinists my relaxation is in the orchestral music of the 2nd Viennese School - particularly Mahler, Schreker and Marx. I have to say that your two symphonies are utterly stunning. I have them both on my iPod and I listen to them at night, in the dark as that is when I can submerge myself in the music completely. One tiny request: is it possible to upload a version of this symphony (no. 2) with a slightly lower recording level? The first movement has quite a bit of distortion near the beginning as the levels are too high. Looking forward to no. 3!
Hey Chris, thank you for your comment and your kind words about my work. Truly means a lot, and I enjoyed reading what you had to say. I'd be happy to give you the updated MP3 files if you send me a quick email!
Lovely
Gigantic. Not my cup of tea, too movielesque, but deserves some respect.
I tried to send an email but the email address indicated in the profile cannot be found by the google gmail system
lol
7:38 Slurs do matter for brass instruments that have the sounds flag of "classical phrasing", which I think was added after this video was uploaded 8:50 This is now obsolete as you can just move the dynamic to different eighth notes in the measure regardless of there not being a not starting there
"classical phrasing" is also applicable to string sections
Really nice i mean your part and composer part. and is these free sounds what are made for Musescore?
This MUST be performed by an orchestra! It sounds great!
😮 Wow, wow, so beautiful!
If you take a few bars at a time from this piece, sure, it's pretty characteristic of him. But there is no way he would ever write that many contrasting textures in such close proximity. People don't give Mahler's sense of form enough credit, compared to his orchestrations. He has a lot of different textures sure, but they have transitions that make them have sense. A lot of ppl who listen to Mahler their first dozen times don't even notice the form, because of how long some of his movements are. But they all have. And Mahler does transitions masterfully in-between main, significant sections. But if your goal was to demonstrate a bunch of his orchestrations, it works and it's a win.
From now on my absolute favorite "Happy Birthday"
Wow!
If the violins in octaves just before the ending are taken from the similar Mahler 9 4th movement, it must be the most ironic thing I've ever heard
Bruh I love it!!! I'm a big Mahler aficionado and this symphony does Mahler justice!!! I've spent a lot of time analyzing Mahler's compositions for orchestration, counterpoint, you name it! But I've never come this close to sounding like him. Do you have notes/tips you'd share with aspiring composers?
Hi Cameron, thank you for your comment! The biggest mistake I made with this symphony was trying to sound like Mahler, which had varying degrees of success, in my opinion, mostly in isolated parts and not on the whole. I'm very glad you like it, but in retrospect it would have been much easier for me to compose a symphony having been detached from Mahler's works for a while. The biggest tip I can give you is to take elements you like from his style (e.g., muted horns, high E-flat clarinet - though that one usually I find rather annoying lol - string grace notes) and experiment with them in your own writing. I made a video with a good number of tips on how he orchestrates if you want to know more about that aspect.
3:03 Is that happy birthday in a minor key like he did with Frere Jacques? 😂
Great

Great explanation! Thank you
BRAVO. BRAVO. BRAVÍSSIMO. WHAT A CLASS ABOUT ORCHESTRATION BASED IN A STYLE OF A GREAT AND PERSONAL COMPOSER!
Not only a serious study but a really fun and joyful to listen mockup, so BRAVO!
YOU NAILED IT, really impressive :)
Could not believe my ears!!! Incredible!!! Awesome job!
If it were possible to learn to orchestrate like Mahler in 5 minutes, then why did all but Deryck Cooke fail to really sound like Mahler when orchestrating the sketches of the 10th Symphony? ;)
I was a HUGE Mahler fan before doing a research on him 😂 And I remember hating the Cooke version.
Wow perfect !
Mahler 11 leak
Awesome
Just wow!!!!! That so could have been Mahler 👏
Perfect! 👍
Yeah it's pretty much how he does that
Beautifully done. The craft and depth of study are excellent. This comes across as a brilliant collection of Mahlerisms, but lacking a unifying story. In Mahler a theme is more than a melody with contrapuntal possibilities and a certain mood. It is also a door to storytelling. In his actual works it is apparent that it all comes from a central mind. Even those with very diverse moods and ideas (such as the 7th) are authentic to his spirit in every bar. This tutorial is admirable, but still obviously only a series of imitations. All one could expect!
This is absolutely brilliant!
Sounds like re-harmonization of happy birthday to you
Absolutely agree... May be a little bit Gershwin spice added Mahler...😊
How about "The Star-Spangled Banner" orchestrated in the style of Franz Schmidt?: ua-cam.com/video/AIAzkO60sWc/v-deo.htmlsi=dIsM4MIu3vkiuAPq
Absolutely beautiful. Im a lifelong Mahler fan but not a trained musician and cannot read music. Im noticing how many people are indicating similarities to the (I guess) adagietto of the M5 whereas my untrainined ear feels this "happy birthday" is more reminiscent of the Ninth symphony!
why do people only want to write in the earlier style of mahler rather than his late era orchestration? its so much more complex
It's easier to hear.
@@johnpcomposerAgree, the later years sound like he's deeping his toes in post tonal music.
I think you answered your own question. It's so much more complex, so it's harder to replicate.
Wunderbar!

This IS genius and is actually really helpful 🎉❤
I'm glad it's helpful! Hopefully it gives you some ideas about certain orchestral choices he makes to bring out particular colors and emotions.
Thank you for this!!
En 5 minutos hiciste un resumen de las sinfonías de Mahler. Ahí he reconocido referencias a las sinfonías 1, 3, 5, 6, 9 y 10 👏👏👏
Amazing ! Are you sure it's not an actual piece by Mahler that was lost ? ;)
This is great!
love all the Mahler references.
