Scoring Program Homework Week 3

Saya pernah cerita tentang PR pelajaran komposisi strings saya kan beberapa waktu lalu? Ada 2 hal yang menjadi PR saya. Yang pertama adalah saya diberi melodi dasar yang harus di aransemen ulang dengan strings section. Yang kedua adalah saya diberi nada lengkap dengan piano dan saya harus menjadikan nada-nada tersebut menjadi sebuah aransemen strings.

Not bad for a starter. Hehe..

Ini hasil PR saya yang pertama.

Music Composition Program Week 3

First of all, if you notice I change the word "day" into "week" for my post about my composition program. I just think it's more suitable that's all. And I finally know how to put my audio file into this blog. So you don't have to open my soundcloud to listen. Fiuuhh...

Anyway my lesson this week is about Orchestration. It will guide us to know how we do the orchestration specifically with the strings instruments and the characteristic of each strings instruments.

We can do orchestra with small group, medium or full group. It depends on how much people available for this orchestra. Usually we have violin 1 player, violin 2 player, viola player, cello player and contra bass player for a strings orchestra. We can add horn and percussion if we want. We will talk about this later.

Even if you can't play strings instruments, it's important for you to know how to tune each strings instruments if you want to compose orchestra. So we could know the note range of each instruments.

And there are so many ways and techniques for playing strings instruments. Like bowing, Double steps, divisi, Glisando, Spiccato, Jete, Trill, and so many more. In my class, Mas Indra played the audio for each technique while explaining to us about the technique. So we would understand more.

I'm sorry that I couldn't share about my lesson in detail. But you can read the book written by Samuel Adler titled "The Story of Orchestration". The explanation is very clear and easy to understand.

In the end of lesson Mas Indra gave us some homework for the next week. We given 2 songs. For the first song we given the melody and we should arrange the strings orchestra. And for the second song, we given whole piano arrangement, and we should put the arrangement into strings arrangement. I've done my homework but i still need to finalize it in some parts. I'll post them in my later post.

Kejadian Agak Mistik

Mau tahu apa yang gue lakukan selama beberapa hari ini? Selama beberapa hari ini gue mengerjakan tugas komposisi gue di kamar kerja gue di lantai atas rumah gue. Dan untuk menyelesaikan tugas ini gue bekerja sampai malam banget. Bahkan ketika seisi rumah gue sudah tidur. Kebayangkan betapa dong sepinya.

Suatu saat, gue masih mengerjakan tugas gue sekitar jam 2 pagi. Gue lagi merasa tanggung karena sedikit lagi selesai satu lagu. Dan tiba-tiba, PATS! Lampu kamar tersebut mati! Sebel karena gue kira masalah listrik byar pet yang terjadi lagi.

Namun ternyata gue baru sadar komputer dan peralatan listrik lainnya masih menyala. Brarti bukan listrik mati dong. Karena penasaran gue akhirnya mengecek saklar lampu kamar. Dan ternyata lampu saklar kamar gue seperti ada yang memencet mematikan lampu. Memang gue sempat mendengar bunyi cetek ketika lampu tersebut padam seperti ada yang mematikan.

Akhirnya dengan sok berani gue bilang "Ah, iseng banget sih lo!". Entah ke siapapun atau apapun yang ada di dalam kamar tersebut. Namun pelan-pelan gue beringsut merapikan dan pergi dari kamar tersebut.................
