"Why is the rum always gone?" This track features multiple leitmotifs, each capturing a different facet of Jack Sparrow's character. The cello introduction reflects the captain’s drunken charm, while the middle section conveys his adventurous, unpredictable nature. "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?" Fittingly, the track builds to an epic conclusion—just as Jack Sparrow’s escapades often do.

This was my second orchestral programmeding cover of a full song, and it deepened my understanding of composition and orchestration. My goal is to start creating original orchestral pieces that feel at home in a cinematic setting. I’m constantly looking to refine my skills, so any tips or feedback in the comments are greatly appreciated.

==============================
🎹 ORCHESTRAL PROGRAMMING
Orchestral programming is the art of creating lifelike orchestral music using virtual instruments on a computer. It involves meticulously layering and shaping each instrument's part—such as strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion—to sound as if a live orchestra is performing. Through detailed control over dynamics, articulations, and timing, composers can evoke the depth and expressiveness of a real orchestra. My goal is to produce music that captures the full emotional and sonic range of live orchestration, allowing me to bring my visions to life with just a keyboard and a keen musical ear.
