In this lively demo for Orchestral Tools' Berlin Strings library I focus on the short articulations (staccatos, spiccatos, marteles, pizzicatos, runs, trills, etc.) in an attempt to create a rollicking, adventurous piece. Also used in this track: Berlin Woodwinds, CineBrass Core, EWQLSO perc.

The Grande Plan

This "Chaconne Paysanne" from "Dance Suite no.2", draws inspiration from the traditional chaconne form while incorporating elements evocative of rural life. Built around a recurring rhythmic motif, the piece explores a range of harmonic and melodic variations that alternately reflect the discipline of agricultural work and the vitality of popular folk dances.

The composition stands out for its balance between the classical structure inherited from the Baroque era and a more direct, intentionally uncluttered writing style that highlights the simplicity and authenticity of the sonorities. This approach creates an atmosphere that is both solid and lively, remaining faithful to the spirit of the rural traditions that inspired the work.

Cette "Chaconne Paysanne" issu de la "Suite de Danse no.2" pour piano, composée par Pierre Fontaine, s’inspire de la forme traditionnelle de la chaconne tout en y intégrant des éléments évocateurs du monde rural. Basée sur un motif rythmique répété, la pièce explore différentes variations harmoniques et mélodiques qui traduisent tour à tour la rigueur du travail de la terre et la vitalité des danses populaires.

La composition se distingue par son équilibre entre la structure classique héritée du baroque et une écriture plus moderne, volontairement dépouillée, qui met en valeur la simplicité et l’authenticité des sonorités. Cette approche permet de créer une atmosphère à la fois solide et vivante, fidèle à l’esprit des traditions paysannes qui ont inspiré l’œuvre.

Stirring After Dark — Homay Schmitz

Nothing particularly ground breaking or new here, I was just looking to create a sci-fi  vibe. This started life as one of the Composer Club 30 Second Challenges. I flirted with it for a while longer but kind of quit whilst I was ahead.
