Trio for Harp, Flute, and Oboe, No 4?

[lexx3rs]

Is the sheet music available to by? I would absolutely love to play this as I play both flute and oboe. You're very talented, the instruments blend amazingly.

[lexx3rs]

@lexx3rs buy**

[TheInstrumentalist99]

Would you ever consider starting an instrument or recording live instruments? I would be honored to do a solo or anything actually.

[TheInstrumentalist99]

Wizard Walk? Do you play all the instruments you write for? I play both the oboe and the flute and don't think I could ever compose something this beautiful.

[WizardWalk]

@TheInstrumentalist99 Thanks! I unfortunately can't play any instruments at all really... I just use my computer

[DaltonMunnal]

@WizardWalk .....You don't play any instruments!?

[WizardWalk]

@DaltonMunnal I can punch out melodies on a keyboard but that's about it

[DaltonMunnal]

@WizardWalk How much music theory do you know? My mind is blown at the concept of being able to write this stuff without playing an instrument.

[WizardWalk]

@DaltonMunnal Thanks!  I guess that's the advantage of living in the computer age -- you can learn to compose by just clicking notes into a program without having to ever touch an instrument. I know some music theory, but have much to learn...

[fatmanandschizard]

so that's what an oboe should sound like? Being in high school all of the oboe playing I've heard sounds like a dying goose

[TotalWeirdAlFan27]

I almost teared up when I first heard this (I play oboe). is there any possible way I could get the sheet music to this? Absolutely astounding, I think it is my favorite piece of music I have heard in my life, honesly. Incredible work!

[AriaMysticlas]

Its something that belongs in a fantasy movie. Its so lovely. :D

[DoorMatt1995]

Have you ever thought of selling your songs as Mp3s off your website? I would probably buy them that way rather than a CD.

[WizardWalk]

@DoorMatt1995 Most of them I just give away for free, but some of my latest are for sale on CD Baby and Amazon MP3. :-) (I'm waiting for iTunes to get them up too, they take forever!)

[terrihodge]

I love your stuff! Yes please post the sheet music to this arrangement.

I wonder, do you think the oboe part could be played on ( transposed for ) cello?

Just an idea.

[hotty456]

please post the sheet music!

[kcschweig]

nice!! who plays the instruments? or are they digital?

[WizardWalk]

They are digital ... all my YouTube videos use digital instruments, mostly from Garritan Personal Orchestra

Many thanks for watching! :-)

[xxDarkGregxx]

sheet music for this piece??? i play the oboe and my best friend plays flute and i was thinking of playing this...please sheet music?!?!?

[SaraxLizabeth]

check on his website it should be there.

[Rodier1128]

Hi!

Is this based off a Hymn? It sounds familiar. I would also like to try it for church sometime. ^___^

[WizardWalk]

It's not based on anything, hope it doesn't sound too similar to anything already in existence :-)

[Rodier1128]

it sounds kinda church-ey in some places. All of the trios sound very minstrel (or Irish)

alsooo, anything new coming out soon? Im dying to play a new song by you. Write something fun for flute ^_^

[WizardWalk]

really not sure when I'll have something new out... been indulging my other interest of trying to write literature lately :-/

[Micidami]

Good one, but try with more space between sounds for flute and oboe. Beauty lies in their sound, do not change it so often. Keep on, Wizard!

[WizardWalk]

Thanks! I'm not quite sure what you mean by "more space between sounds for flute and oboe"?

[Rodier1128]

I think they mean space between chords.

[darksiderules88]

i love this peace... i also play the oboe and all of these peices inspire me to play even better

[eoghanm64]

Magical!

I was delighted to see you made another Trio piece. I love the other two and this one too. Really wonderful works of art. Well done.

I'll enjoy this one for a while now and hopefully you'll make another in the future!

[WizardWalk]

I'm sure I won't be able to resist composing more sometime in the future! :-) Many thanks for your kind words!

[HoverPizza]

A beautiful, peaceful song! I love it!

[WizardWalk]

Many thanks!

[DBiscuit481]

Great! :)

[WizardWalk]

Thanks!

[amistrymister]

wow! fantastic! the harp sounds like the one from edirol orchestral! Ive got gpo but i dont like it that much!

i hear some inspiration from lord of the rings going on there!

[amistrymister]

i just realised that its the glissando harp on gpo right???!!!

[WizardWalk]

Yeah, there may very well be some Lord of the Rings influence in there; I love that soundtrack.

The harp's the Chromatic Harp 1 from GPO, but its sound heavily relies on reverb settings, since that what makes the notes blend so well I think. It took me a while to get reverb settings I was pleased with...

Many thanks!! :-)

[smalin]

I like the way this works with the balls and lines display, especially the arc of the harp arpeggios.

[WizardWalk]

Thanks! Though I do use the balls and lines for almost everything, I think it comes out particularly well with music like this. Thanks again for the software!

[Rodier1128]

great, loved it. I still like the first one. But now that you have three its almost like movements. Im waiting to see if you do an entire band kinda thing, or a marching piece. That would be interesting.

[WizardWalk]

I don't know if I have what it takes to do a good marching piece, but it would probably be fun to try sometimes! Many thanks for watching!

[Rodier1128]

I can tell you that marching pieces rely on, in order:

Bass

Trumpet (almost always 2 parts)

Percussion.

The other parts are just "enhancement" on to the brass, since a flute is very hard to hear from the field. If, however you need a woodwind sound, clarinet or piccolo are the main choices.

[psychofroglover]

I've listened to many of your pieces and this definately makes it to the top 5!!! i love it!!

[WizardWalk]

Hehe... many thanks!! :-)

[TheSongsOfTheWind]

Amazing! Yet another great trio :)

Great work!

[WizardWalk]

Thanks! :-)
