I’m arranging this for SATB and piano, wish me luck

#figured out a lot of it back in high school when my band was learning it #thursday #lovesong writer #music

Today’s song is What is Hip - Tower of Power

#this was in my head a lot earlier today #tower of power #what is hip?#music

pack all my troubles in a jar, send them out to sea with a note that plainly reads “do not return to me!”

I'm orchestrating this piece for Wind Ensemble for my final project. It'ssofuckingprettyI'mcrying

#probably'll have to do another lied from the song cycle to make enough time #butyeah I just THE HARMONIES OKAY???#nnnggg #schumann #music #rae rambles #v

idk why but I'm really amused that trumpet players are called "trumpeters"

#rae rambles #t #sue me it's funny

I've changed my mind, this concerto is like a run-on sentence. What are you doing, Bach?

#Italian concerto #BWV 971 if you care #you do you Bach #like Beethoven and his final cadences.....#music #rae rambles #t #bach

I'm actually enjoying my orchestration assignment, right now. It's Bach, and how do you fuck up Bach? (aside from parallel fifths..)

#TONAL MUSIC #GOD BLESS #music #bach #rae rambles #t

Written in 2008, for classical guitar, electric guitar (palm muted), and electric bass. I like it but it's one of those things I feel like somebody else has already written something similar, so I've never really revisited it.

#it's one of those nights - fasten your seat belt #rae found their old finale files #also 100% easy to play on guitar #electric guitar part is sorta weird but still very playable #makes me happy to be able to play my own stuff #raecreation #music #guitar

Small piece written, like, five years ago for a character I'd created (named Mundus, golly!). For flute, saxophone, and double bass.

#idk what am I supposed to say for this?#music #raecreation #original music #flute #saxophone #bass #double bass #:U I hate tagging my own things jfc

Justice For Saint Mary - Diablo Swing Orchestra

Why you should listen to this:

You like Panic! At the Disco and electronic music (dubstep?) (transitions between P!atD to.. something heavier & electronic-esque)

The vocalists voice

Strings and guitars??

LOW BRASS

Beautifulness and then EPICness

and because I said so :U

Geraldine's Routine - Tape Five

Reasons you should listen to this:

The lead singer's voice timbre

The harmonies when they sing "Geraldine's routine"

The amazing, sexy clarinet playing

The catchy beat

Because I told you to

I need a remix of Ray Charles' Shake a Tail Feather and The Contours' Do You Love Me

They're in different keys but they would work so well together musically. They both have the build toward the chorus and are about the same tempo and the voices would mesh well and it'd be perf trust me - science music.

Start with the Ray Charles "I heard about the fellow you've been dancin' with/ all over the neighbourhood/ so why didn't you ask me, baby?/ didn't you think I could?" and then the next verse maybe, then go to The Contours chorus and just--- you can't tell me this wouldn't be perfect!

#all The Contours' is missing is the excellent bari sax that Ray Charles has #maybe some of the horns too yess #and what Ray Charles needs is some back up vocalists to echo him :'DD #or I guess more vocalists since there's kiiinda more voice accompanying Mr Charles #but just #maybe I'll see if the EA studio hasn't been taken down for the break...#try my lousy hand at it :'D'#rambles #music #ray charles #the contours

It's 5AM and I'm only halfway through orchestrating this fucking piece.

Time for my secret weapon: cutting corners.

I'm not going to copy the end bar for bar - Time for some canons and bringing back material from other sections. Plus his ending would sound kind bleh for orchestra anyway, and there's probably at least 5 other people in my class doing this piece, so fuck it.

Apparently my computer doesn't like Finale. :U It's heating up like hell.

#rae rambles #almost time for a new laptop #but I don't have the money #and I'm not asking my parents #You can do it Pooter!#t

Apparently the orchestra I'm orchestrating this piece for only has one clarinet player.

#talk shit about clarinet all you want #it is the french horn of reed instruments #plus this means no bass clarinet #and THAT is not okay.#*side eyes at the bassoon*#rae rambles #t #clarinet #music

*gives the trumpets and oboe a million rests because I do what I want*

#and also I guess their sound just isn't appropriate for what I want #but I like to think it's because I'm a big jerk #rae rambles #t #trumpets #oboe #orchestration

Tomorrow I am going to get 80% of my Orchestration done, so that I can go to Tuba Christmas without feeling guilty.

Tuba Christmas is exactly what it sounds like. All the music kids cram into the Music Building lobby and the UWO tubas play Christmas carols that everyone sings to. And it's the best.

#rae rambles #t #I am not even a very festive person but I need this #also still finishing theory right now but ehhh #p sure my prof is used to me handing things in superrrr late #plus apparently I'm funny so there's that
