Daylight Suite

[László]

I've been interested lately in smaller ensemble studio-size orchestral stuff, and I wrote a piece that for the most part seemed uncharacteristically sunny. The melody lines are carried by flutes, clarinet, and viola.

What could be shinier than a platinum flute, fergoodness-sakes?

Oh, three of them. As an added bonus, there are a few measures of stuff that isn't shiny. Because I could!

Daylight Suite by Leslie Schefman

NOTE: This thread had a different title with one track. BUT -- I created a suite with a few simple changes to some recent tracks with a similar vibe that I was able to knit together.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

This could easily be an excerpt of a movement taken from Sonata 1 by L Schefman.

Thumbs up, Les

 

[Moondog Wily]

Great job Mr. Les! I really love the little flourish at the end, a happy bounce if you will in the rise and shine routine!! Looking forward to the next piece!!!

 

[veinbuster]

Well worth the listen.

Thanks guys! I might lengthen this thing, though it's simply intended to serve as music for a short cue, so I'm not 100% sure. Figured I'd let it percolate in my head for a while and decide later.

I think you should, you’ve got a real motif here. You could develop a theme.

Hey I’m just saying for a friend.

Wait...it's not a theme already?

Haha, ok you got me.

See worthless drivel (me that is).

It's OK, I get it! I'm reworking some of the other recent woodwind-heavy stuff to create a suite, along with this piece. I'm going to call it, 'Daylight Suite', since most of my other work is darker.

Yes, I have the name before the suite is complete. Hey, gotta name the file!

 

[László]

OK, take another listen and tell me what you think about the three singles going into a suite now.

les les les, you are one in a million but your brother… kill me now to know that level of talent and discipline. huzzah!

These three work really well together. They evoke different emotions for the listener, well they did for me.

 

[toothace]

good stuff Les!!

His work is being shown in the Smithsonian, and mine is only posted here.

Somebody has to play the role of the less-talented person, and now you know why!

On the other hand, there are less remunerative jobs than 'ad composer'. Poet, for instance.

They definitely flow - with the third movement giving a nice resolution to the tension in 1 and 2.

 

[gemyneye]

I like this one! Was that a bassoon and french horn going forte to fortissimo there towards the 4 minute mark?

He is actually quite masterful on the etch-a-sketch. Really!

I did use bassoon and French horn at various points, I'll have to check.

I have used those two instruments together myself, I love the combined sound.
