    I really appreciate that you take the time to providing the piano roll as well! I'm still learning to read notes quicker.

    Thank you for the video alex! Love this series.
    May i ask a video about action cues? William style: dual of the fates, battle of the heroes etc.
    Thanks 🙏🏻

    EXCELENT ¡¡¡....An interesting topic Master, it could be dealing with the problems of the macroform, to achieve a balance of the sound body, not always easy, much less in a work of several minutes!

    Can you do a video on the ways of orchestrating the chords below the melody? How high and open the chords should be and how much distance should they keep from the main line?

    Your work is excellent, the visuals are such a great touch, thank you for putting all of this together.
    I had a question but not enough theory to know on my own, does the overtone series play a role in a melody's ability to "soar"? In other words, do you see orchestrators being conscious of the overtone series in their choices? If so, is there a good example to study?

    • @AlexHeppelmann

      Interesting question -- while certainly the harmonic series is relevant to every musical topic, especially anything harmonically orchestrationally, I think a soaring melody has more to do with the expansive range, the leaps, and the configuration of strings across octaves. But I suppose it's such a subjective thing!

      @@AlexHeppelmann Agree, love your input! Any reading recommendations to get a more solid grasp on the overtone series? I like simple examples to grow a conceptual base, and right now I feel like I'm starting at 0.

    "Can You Read My Mind" was basically stolen - uhh, I mean BORROWED - from R Strauss' "Death and Transfiguration".
