Q. I have several chord progressions that I write down when I'm at the piano and I've got Sibelius. I was wondering how can I develop my ideas into full orchestral music?
I want to compile music for a composition folio but I'm not sure how to go about it. Any ideas?
Should I start basic with a string quartet or something?
A. String quartets is a great start.
For orchestra, you need to know the ranges and keys of all the instruments you write for.
It would be to your advantage to line up an amateur orchestra to try your work. It will surprise you when you first hear it and most likely you will want to do major revisions.
Good luck and I hope you succeed!
What chord progressions make a song feel certain emotions?
Q. I already know that chords and chord progressions can make a song have an emotion. I don't want entire progressions but what chords should I use for happy feelings, sad feelings, funny, angry, scared and calm but progressive feelings?
A. Major chords obviously have a more happy feel and minor keys give a sadder tone to the song. I play piano and like using 2nd inversion chords. one of my favorite progressions is: G major 2nd inversion, then A minor 1st inversion, F minor 1st inversion, then G major 1st inversion. I guess you could say that this gives a sort of calm yet progressive feel. There are a lot of places that you can go from this progression, and different ways to develop it. Hope this helps!
