Wow... where are you the last 200 years? Jajaja
This is most definitely one of the best new compositions UA-cam has ever recommended to me, and it's a testament to the piece that it can sound this great even in Musescore MIDI. The section directly after 260 (11:55) is just fantastic. If you ever get this premiered, it would probably be a little noticeable that the trombone section isn't projecting very well when they're playing anything that isn't a unison or octave melody line. Generally trombones have a hard time projecting (despite the stereotypes) when playing with a full ensemble when it is written this low as a section, especially in regards to the 2nd trombone part. Bass trombone will have absolutely no issue being dominant by itself anywhere below or near the bottom of the staff, so doubling a lot of those parts on 2nd (Like all of letter O's voicings) or putting a perfect 5th directly in the middle of the bass and 1st parts (such as measure 255) generally will generally cause the 1st part to be drowned out since it's unsupported in a relatively low register and not get the section sound you are probably looking for. When it's non unison, generally having 1st/2nd over an octave away from the bass trombone is very standard and doesn't tear apart the section sound like it would in most other instruments. Don't be afraid of tenor clef in these kinds of loud sections, we can read it just fine and we like to play above the staff when we're allowed to. Bass trombone will do it's thing and project just fine without the help of the tenors. But this is just me ranting about trombones, every composer utilizes the trombones entirely differently, and a unique sound is never a negative thing. The ideas and overall orchestration is fantastic and 99% of people will not care how the trombones are voiced or even notice.
I think this really depends on your trombone section. Maybe beginning amateurs won't be able to cut through but good trombones will easily overpower the rest, except maybe the other brass and the piccolo flute. Why am I so certain about this? Listen to a british brass band at the top level - even if the whole band is playing fortissimo, the trombones can always cut through the sound if they want to. And those players, even in the top bands, are not always pro players. About the letter O, all the trombone parts are just in octaves and I think it's better practise to double the lower voices because the upper will be heard more easily any way. And in this case there is no reason for it to be heard more dominantly, it's just a colour/overtone to the lower melody. I don't think the trombones will have any trouble projecting anywhere where it's needed in this piece.
We're playing this for youth symphony this year. I'm really exited to play this. This has to be one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard. I especially love 4:33.
You have a great mastery of orchestral colors and sonorities, especially brass. Looking forward to seeing you continue to grow as a composer and see where you're heading, but this is definitely a young man's vision of epic music where his seeds of styles are bared and ready to build on.
This is an excellent work. Ignore those that say otherwise, don't let them crush your voice or musical expression in order to make it theirs. I want to hear the musical story that you are telling and not the preconceived ideas I already have in my head from years of training. Break free and take me to where you want to go. There is no way to improve on this piece when it is how you currently think and feel. Thank you for sharing it withe me.
I agree with most of the commentators on this post - that you can do this on a computer blows my mind - (I'm an old musician from the 60's). The composition itself has a terribly fine amount of talented composition - the musical instincts are true and sound. I felt emotion, a sense of urgency at times, and, contemplative at others. At first, I thought there was a Mahler influence, maybe a dash of John Williams, but I gave up analyzing and just enjoyed the music. That, is what it's all about, for me, at least. I hope Mr. Cowart has a long career, for his compositions will only get, (what's the word I'm looking for?), sublime? Hearty Bravos for you, Mr. Connor Cowart!
The music is very well orchestrated, especially at climaxes. Something that you could definitely work on is the balance between knowing when to push the momentum and when to surprise the listener with something unexpected. There are moments in the score where the music suddenly pauses and it feels like everything that you writing before the pause worked for lost its meaning. Another thing: It is okay to be inspired by other scores, melodies, and harmonies, but you need to be careful when doing it for multiple reasons. 1) The music becomes predictable. The chromatic motif at the beginning immediately told me that you would be quoting "Searching 4" a lot... I could basically sing the rest of the music you wrote before I heard it! 2) You lose an opportunity to develop your own voice. The Tchaikovsky Pas a Deux inspiration, Leia's theme from Star Wars, and Mahler Adaggietto are nice quotes, but be careful if you pass off a theme from something else as your own. It takes a long time to develop a voice, but don't get too comfortable just looking at scores and taking the same melodies. My recommendation is that if you like a certain melody, maybe take it in another direction? Start in a different note and write it another way. This is what I do when I see something I really like a lot and want to write something similar to it. That way, you incorporate the qualities of whatever composer you are inspired by into your own style, further developing you as a composer. Best of luck in your writing, I cannot wait to hear more!
That would be my main reservation...the meaning of the opening is erased by the Mahlerian turn that of course obliterates everything in its wake. It is one sure way to impress a large number of people is to write something Mahleresque...I was listening to this for the Musescore4 sounds and they are pretty impressive. The orchestration is pretty deft and shows off the instruments here well. The content is good too, even if it is second-hand emotion. The transition at 4:32 is really awkward...you just need to carry one group of instruments at least through the gap here it seems to accomodate the shift. There is much impressive work here all the same and talent too.
@Brian Torres good advice. I'm in agreement. I see this a lot on UA-cam and the composers are in their teens and twenties and very talented on the one hand, but have not had the listening experience to aborb enough music yet to have their own voice and they don't always seem to understand the bounaries in being inspired by someone, sounding like someone and taking their actual material and coopting it.
What begins at 1:35 is 😮😮😮😮. I was not ready for it. This is stunningly gorgeous. I hear the late romantic influence. It's enough to make Wagner blush. Wow is this lush! ❤❤❤❤

I like your piece but I want to mention as a bass clarinet player, we don’t ever read bass clef and treble clef in the same piece. We are comfortable with ledger lines. If you want to use bass clef there is a specific way to use it by picking the specific instrument instead of the normal bass clarinet. It’s the same instrument but the way you write for the instrument is different. Instead of transposing an octave and a major 2nd lower, it’s just a major second lower. It isn’t very common but it is sometimes written like that. You shouldn’t mix the two clefs since it will most likely just cause confusion.
Dude, This is genuinely one of the best feelings I have ever felt while listening to. It sounds like the soundtrack to some famous timeless classic of a movie. Ok so I wrote this before hearing that stunning Andante section and uh, this is now one of my favorite pieces I have every listened to. This beats out some classical pieces for me. Now that I have listened to the entire piece, I am actually in shock and awe at how good this is. Now all I want to do is study music, I want to figure out why this sounds so good and find music similar. Thank you for reigniting my passion for composition.
Wow this is such great work!! Can’t believe you’re only 16 and you’re already composing pieces like these! You’ve got a talent for composition and I hope you all the best in your future works! Also love that Mahlerian section at 9:26 :)

@@lachieoverlord1253 ok that’s totally fair, and I do agree that some of it isn’t really that original. But isn’t it credit enough to another composer that I was able to instantly recognize that that specific section was inspired by Mahler??

goosebumps. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece. Musescore is definitely doing this justice. I'm inspired to keep working on my own music, thanks to you.
00:00 Mahler's influence at times, a good choice. 4:30 more cinematic with soft and repetitive harmonies typical of film music. 6:40 exposition of the beginning, but with variation (more interesting for its development) 9:12 Holst's influence that drifts again in cinematic style, Interesting tour!!
I think noone pointed it out, but just a hint if this is to be played live. At about 4:30 the violins have these decrescendos and then a pp after. Players will be confused if pp is the target dynamic, or how they can decrescendo from pp to pp. Also applies to other places and instruments. I think in general the dynamics could be a bit off. You mark the brass as ff and it does sound good in the playback, but in a concert hall the brass will just easily overpower all the other instruments. I'm also a bit confused why you have two bass trombones, it would be more common to have three trombones and one bass trombone. I'm also missing a piccolo part, I think that could really help to bring out all those runs in the higher register. There is lots of good writing in this and I wouldn't say you're borrowing too much material, but I do miss a faster section, it's mostly just slow chords in the brass with embellishments in strings and woodwinds. Anyways, well done!
This is great! One thing to note though: You need to give the winds time to breath. Especially the flutes, they go through a lot of air rather quickly. It's definitely an option to dovetail the flutes and have the oboe fill in the thirds in those soft 16th note bits.

Beautiful. Was this inspired by Musescore's Searching Four?
how does it sound so good
Nice.
