Made With Dorico - "Vista" for full orchestra

I created the following YouTube post several months ago in Dorico 5.1.70. The work in question is for full symphony orchestra, and is titled, “Vista” (not to be confused with the crappy Microsoft OS of the same name :smile: ). It runs around 5’40" and is between a grade 4.5 and a grade 5 in difficulty. (Yes, I’d like to get it published.)

I welcome any and all feedback. Thank you for listening!’

Hi Mr. Jackson,

Very, very nice. I really appreciate how varied and imaginative your piece is. I’d love to study your piece in Dorico. Also, I’d love to hear it with a better sound library, such as Spitfire’s BBCSO or the VSL Synchron series. Of course, the ultimate would be a live performance by a world-class orchestra. Congratulations on your beautiful creation!

Mike

A bit Copland-esque at times … (that’s a compliment :slight_smile: ). I’ll agree with @MikeInBoston , varied and imaginative are perfect words.

Nice job.

Thank you - I was definitely shooting for a Copland-esque sound, especially right around 1:54 through 2:48. Glad to see I wasn’t far off the mark! :smile: .
