Sounds actually unbelievable. I still think there's some weird stuff (not in this example tho haha) that needs to be worked on but this is definitely the way to go. Also, this composition is great! Really inspiring.
There’s definitely some kinks to be worked out, still! Particularly with dynamics and articulations. Most changes in dynamics have to be accompanied with hairpins or else artifacts come up, and I had to throw excessive slurs and staccato markings everywhere to balance out the differences amongst instruments/sections. Hopefully something that can be amended with updates!

They earn enough through website subscriptions to make it possible and they are passionate and non-greedy enough to make their funds work. So satisfying to see community-financed passion projects avoiding to get money-horny and coming to fruition non the less.
@@JackWabbitTV Sibelius also used a soundfont, it's still disappointing compared to Noteperformer which is still the best thing to use when it comes to orchestral audio.
If I wasn't listening carefully and didn't already know this was MuseSounds, I would've thought it was a real performance, or at least a really good professional-grade VST. The fact that MuseScore now offers such realistic playback quality is nothing short of impressive!
Beautiful! The ascending quartal motif in the strings especially got me. I can't say I'm familiar with Hisaishi, but your piece has piqued my interest in his work too! A couple minor notes on notation: In the section beginning at m. 36, the ascending chromatic lines would be better notated with sharps so that they don't immediately have to be canceled. It's also good practice, when you're finished with your score, to make the final system stretch to the edge of the page, adjusting the measure count in the previous pages as necessary so there isn't any noticeable change in horizontal spacing. (I hope this is something MuseScore can make automatic in the future!) If this is your first orchestral piece, I can only imagine things will go up for you from here. Keep it up!
Thank you, I appreciate the helpful and constructive feedback! My engraving skills definitely need some improving, so hopefully subsequent pieces I upload have fewer notable issues.
Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous! There’s this amazing lightness and fluttery-ness to the music, and it takes you away on this short but wonderful journey. Love the use of extensions in the harmony, it added so much color. This reminded me of something by Takashi Yoshimatsu. And the playback on MuseScore is the closest now we can get to a live orchestra using a notation software, and it sounds amazing. Incredible work, and I can’t wait to see what else you write.
Before seeing this I was like “no way I’m downloading another application on my phone, besides Musescore 3 is fine!” Now, it’s currently downloading on my Mac. Just WOW on the instrument quality!!!
Wowwww!!!!!!!!! I am very astonished by your piece, like woww, it's very much impressionism and goes to the levels of Debussy and even Ravel like woww great* job!!!
I listened to your piano rendition of this which was excellent in its own right, but I must say, the orchestration techniques on display here are superb and really bring the composition to the next level.
Wonderful sketch! MuseScore 4 is a huge blessing for composers. Very realistic sounding and to think it's all freely available is WOW! Thanks for sharing!
Lots of wonderful chord changes that bring out that impressionist feel. For a first piece in orchestra you’ve done well. I’d stay away from the melodic instrument repeating so much, especially rhythmically. Trade it off across other instruments, give it an answering call, that sort of thing. Your orchestration, especially balancing supporting instruments is especially good. I loved the rising bass line from the basement - moves the piece along very well and moved me, too. That’s what music should do, and judging from all of your fawning listeners, you nailed it. Keep writing! I’m going to subscribe!
Really lovely composition and I'm genuinely quite staggered by the quality of the sounds. They seem like a big upgrade from last time I used version 3.
Beautiful and light. So nice to hear something dreamy and yet its computer made. Musescore gives us the tools to sound like we are conductors of a real symphony. 🎉
Wow, wow, wow! If you told me this was a real orchestra playing a professional composition, I'd probably believe you! On closer inspection, of course the playback isn't perfect, but wow, this is nothing short of amazing.
TBM> The structure of the opening motif was subconsciously inspired by Le Tombeau De Couperin... Beautiful! It did seem vaguely familiar, but I didn't think of Ravel till you mentioned it. 😉 I think your piece quite stands on its own, though. It's also a great demo of MuseScore 4's excellent orchestral sounds. Cheers!
Hmmm, are you familiar with Ravel's orchestration of his Prelude in G from Le Tombeau de Couperin? It's really a master piece and has a similar vibe to this.
my new favorite compostion from now on i will be a fan of u lol its amazing that u used only musescore with muse sound well i really like this piece more than your inspiration from ravel u remind me that maybe the wisdom of the composer may matter more than the tools respect
Excellent composition. It reminds me too of Vaughan Williams (as said in another comment). Those new VST are nice but not as much as NotePerformer’s ones. However, it’s definitely taking a road to a new area of virtual sounds.
MuseSounds is definitely a big credit to Musescore - to my ears its on a par with NotePerformer and much better that the default sounds in other notation apps. The improvements to the engraving rules take Musescore up several levels. If you put aside that Musescore is free and just ask oneself which notation app is my go to choice, I would choose musescore over Sibelius. Would I choose it over Dorico... mmm that's a difficult decision.

@@thadbaileymai I was listening to an old piece and a sfz scared the shit out of me lol
@@swaree Aren't sfz supposed to do that though? lol
@@thadbaileymai Spot on, p seems to mean entirely different volume ranges for various instruments. I end up using the mixer to balance them out (doesn't fix it all though)
It felt like the Clarinet lacked... Presence. Like it was either too quiet, or the attack way too slow.
Strings sound pretty awesome though!
I’m genuinely surprised Musescore is completely free. This composition blew me away!
Yeah i mean you can literally do so much with it

@@Zula_The_Squid fr i'm really grateful
This is what happens when software is made for people, not for profit
Musescore’s Sound is finally not a joke, nice composition
It's still a joke when it comes to piano, Muse Keys is the worst crap I've ever heard.
Tbf its default sounds are better than Sibelius'
@@JackWabbitTV Sibelius also used a soundfont, it's still disappointing compared to Noteperformer which is still the best thing to use when it comes to orchestral audio.
@@PiotrBarcz they sound pretty good to me
@@t1m0thyduk3 Take a listen to Noteperformer, it blows them out of the water.
Great composition. Muse sounds is just so great
Thank you! Yeah I’m just blown away that free notation software is this good now.
@@thadbaileymai we can have nice things after all
It's much more inspiring to compose music from this point of time. MuseScore is a game changer.
The inspiration from ravel's " Le tombeau de couperin " is very clear and i love it !
i love that song played by moinet
@@edwardkim2416 or by Keigo Mukawa !
Yeah definitely Ravel vibes, tasty. MS4 sounding superb
I am frigging in love with musescore 4. So happy and impressive with the folks over at their team
I can tell this is a "variation" on Ravel's Prelude from le tombeau de Couperin!
Great exercise!
I had this exact thought when I listened to it :))
Yeah it is pretty obvious
I thought that was just reverse Couperin, but it really was variation.
Beautiful! Reminds me of Ralph Vaughan Williams
My exact thought at the beginning
I was about to say the same! Lovely
... I heard references to The Lark Ascending. Very nice.
If I wasn't listening carefully and didn't already know this was MuseSounds, I would've thought it was a real performance, or at least a really good professional-grade VST. The fact that MuseScore now offers such realistic playback quality is nothing short of impressive!
Very reminiscent of Le Tombeau de Couperin by Ravel. I really like it!
I hear beautiful shades of "Le Tombeau de Couperin" and I'm loving it
Beautiful composition!!

Right the jump from 3 to 4 is so wild
Reminds me of ravel's le tombeau de couperin, its very pretty
The fact this sounds better than my $1000 worth of sound libraries is sad..
That pizzicato at the start was dope
For a first attempt this is truly incredible! It's really inspiring to see!
Beautiful composition - this sounds way better than the BBC orch library IMO.
flute vibrato spot on
Great work! I really gotta download musescore 4 as soon as I'm able. It's incredible.
thx Tantacrul
He should be world president
@@martinhsl68hw he should but it would get called white privilege an he'd get cancelled
Wowwww!!!!!!!!! I am very astonished by your piece, like woww, it's very much impressionism and goes to the levels of Debussy and even Ravel like woww great* job!!!
possibly one of my all-time favorite compositions. Love chromatisms in part B! And the new soundfounts are great
I am in love with 1:07 . THAT FLUTE PART 😩
Very nice!
Astounding!
Great!
Ireally like the Muse woodwind sounds.
I listened to your piano rendition of this which was excellent in its own right, but I must say, the orchestration techniques on display here are superb and really bring the composition to the next level.

So Ravellian....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
Ravel is my favorite composer!
What a fantastic piece to showcase the power of MuseScore 4. Great job!

this piece is so flowing and free spirited, i love it! really nice work!
1:24 amazing chord.
So well done.
Sounds lovely and I like how the music creates the impression of moving water slowly rising and falling, flowing wherever it needs to.
i knew musescore was the best. I knew it all along!
great piece too
love it 💚
Really lovely composition and I'm genuinely quite staggered by the quality of the sounds. They seem like a big upgrade from last time I used version 3.
Very nice, lush and warm !
Beautiful and light. So nice to hear something dreamy and yet its computer made. Musescore gives us the tools to sound like we are conductors of a real symphony. 🎉
Sounds amaizing
This is such a beautiful piece! It would be so cool to see your composition process if possible!
Really great!! Time to look more into MuseScore 4.. it looks amazing
What a wonderful sketch!
This would make a great organ scherzo movement too.
it sounds fantastic, great composition. the vibes are real
a stunning composition, and it sounds phenomenal!
more please.
Great work with this.
So good Thad!!!
Lovely sounds, but in particular I appreciate the composer’s voice here. Thanks for sharing this.
The melody is playful at that tempo. Love the Soundfont being used, it sounds so much like a real orchestra!
Well, this is simply amazing.
Wow, wow, wow! If you told me this was a real orchestra playing a professional composition, I'd probably believe you!
On closer inspection, of course the playback isn't perfect, but wow, this is nothing short of amazing.
WHOA THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
Lovely!
Very talented.
I definitely see some inspiration from Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin. Absolutely stunning
If this is really your "first try" at orchestra - chapeaux!
I love the new muse sounds dude, it makes playback great, especially in your composition, this is great dude
Beautiful
of course my subscription expires right before all of it
Nice composition!
First attempt? That's really a master attempt! Bravo!
Quality of this is simply unbeliveable!
Amazing

The beginning reminds me of Prelude from Le Tombeau de Couperin.
Gorgeous writing
This was absolutely lovely and inspiring, thank you :) especially for someone working at about 1am here - I'm all good to continue now :D
I love the world you created! You brought it to life! It's so lovey!

Fabulous job! I really like it!
I love it!
This is stunningly beautiful
Wow! This sounds amazingly beautiful!
This is brilliant BRILLIANT work. I use staffpad as well. Love this composition. Amazing work.
This is a beautiful piece, would love to hear it played live!
This piece has made my morning. Amazing!
so good👏👏👏

u remind me that maybe the wisdom of the composer may matter more than the tools
respect
0:30 Nice. I like that sequence
Love how the fluttering theme float around various instruments; beautiful and awe-inspiring.
So beautiful! 🌺
This piece is incredible, one of favorites I've heard in a while
Wow! If that's your first attempt at an orchestral composition, love to hear where you go to from here.
Excellent composition. It reminds me too of Vaughan Williams (as said in another comment). Those new VST are nice but not as much as NotePerformer’s ones. However, it’s definitely taking a road to a new area of virtual sounds.
I remembered Debussy's nocturnes for orchestra
This kinda reminds me of the Genshin Impact soundtrack, particularly the Liyue soundtrack. Great work!
Absolutely phenomenal.
Masterfully orchestrated
I like the ending. :D
The first thing that came to my mind was if this is something from Ravel that I've never heard before
Great Work, and very good use of the sounds!
Kinda like Ravel, I like it
