A (baroque??) HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION!
Here is a string orchestra arrangement of a Whole Tone Prelude and Fugue that I composed (on Musescore) for Halloween when I was 17 (2017). I started this arrangement shortly after completing the original but I abandoned it because I got sidetracked by other projects. I decided to pick it back up a few weeks ago to celebrate this year’s Halloween, and I just completed this draft. Though influenced by baroque music, it is definitely NOT harmonically consistent with that style (though the work is meant to be in C) and much of the fugal writing was also influenced by Shostakovich and late Beethoven. Also as the title suggests, the harmony of this piece is built almost entirely from the whole tone scales, though it still takes some liberties with the harmonies. It was originally for piano but I've been intending this arrangement since I completed that version as I think it suits the music better.
The Fugue is a single fugue with two subjects (It is NOT a double fugue because the secondary subject does not receive its own exposition). Apologies for the down-bows that are cut off at the top of the last page. Hopefully this piece has a frightening effect. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

If Scriabin and Webern had a baby
This sounds as good as the potato I just ate
5:51 Sounds like Messiaen Joie du sang des etoiles
Love !!!
This is really cool!
Complex music demands extensive study. I have listened extensively, but not studied. Thus, I cannot judge openly. But why is my mind so harsh? I cannot enjoy anything anymore. Year after year, my mind does not change. With no logical support, my opinion remains resolute. Is it just obsession? If it doesn't go away after a few more years, I will be forced to study to find relief.
Reminds me of Op. 57 no. 2
really really great composition!
Beautifully balanced. Proper music.
Scriabin esque in harmony only, and even then, only like one of his harmonies spammed
The first trill, I hear that first trill and brain go Scriabin 6.
Some of the motifs here remind me of Chopin’s Op. 7 No. 1 (but with more advanced harmony). Very cool!
0:52 ah my DSCH radar is beeping
Piano sounds like Scriabin. Orchestral grouping sounds like Berg. It's like Scriaberg.
Bergabin.
Wow beautiful i wish i could compose like that. But i think its more about playing scriabins music than reading a treatise on the style.
@@Piranesi-gc8gn I spent hours a day for over a year just playing through his late sonatas (though I only ever practiced 4, 5, 9, and 10 up to speed as well as playing through loads of his miniatures). I spent a lot of time trying to replicate his harmonies and voicings just by improvising and using chords/progressions I heard/saw in Scriabin’s music. I spent time also looking at the orchestration of Poem of Ecstasy and Prometheus Poem of Fire and got an idea of how Scriabin writes polyphonic textures in his ensemble works. I opted for a polyphonic texture because I wanted the music to sound larger than it would with a simpler texture. This wasn’t a great decision for the reading session though because the piano part is not exactly easy to sightread (I no longer have the recording from that reading). I think while this work uses “Scriabinesque” harmony pretty consistently, it still has a bit of second Viennese school influence as well (not actually intentional but it makes sense since I was also working on Berg sonata around then). I think if I finish/expand this one I’ll probably study a bit harder to try and make it sound closer to Scriabin’s style.
i remember the first time i heard prometheus live. changed my life man this sounds the same
@@kvn00000 I don’t think I’ve ever seen Scriabin performed live in concert (Which is strange to think about). I would absolutely love to hear his symphonic works live.
@@MasonIshida my city's FOOSA Group performed Scriabin Prometheus, which I was very lucky to have free tickets to since my Symphonic Orchestra Director and Violin instructor at the time had some to give away to students. Highly recommend going and listening to that though. I know some groups do orchestral transcriptions of Scriabins music. Scriabin also has an Andante and Scherzo string piece thats really good
Very nice!
Thank you!
very cripsy harmonies thank u
Deep fried music? (Thanks for listening!)
@@MasonIshida more vibrant but yes
berg op.1 opening?
I think I might have been working on Berg op. 1 around the time I wrote this, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that influence made it in.
its a great introduction do you plan to write the rest? to continue it?
I might revive it and finish it if there is some sort of Pierrot ensemble performance opportunity for me. Otherwise I plan to re use the motives/themes and or phrases in a larger ensemble work. Not sure when I’ll get around to doing that though. Thank you for listening!
Very able piece!
@@UtsyoChakraborty oh wow you’re here thank you for listening!
Great idea, bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

@@machida5114 hello again
@@MasonIshida hello
Prometheus vibes
Why is there constantly a natural beside the F in the bass clef😂
There’s an F# right before it, performers do tend to miss things like that in rehearsals. Probably doesn’t need to be on every single measure after it though. Probably could be some sort of “sempre” for that
Dude no way this popped up on my recommendations ❤❤❤
@@MrHullU that’s a good sign

Greetings Based Mincarelli
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice
Mmmmm really nice
This is such disrespect to scriabin
Why?
Scriabin is one of my absolute favorite composers and I adore his music. As the description says, this was merely “an attempt to evoke his harmony” I don’t by any means think this an accurate imitation as it’s an entirely incomplete work that I did as a homework assignment and the chord progressions are somewhat different from Scriabin. The coda also doesn’t sound like something Scriabin would write to me. As for the title of the video, that’s literally the reason I wrote this with this harmony, so I rather see this as an homage instead of any sort of disrespect. The piece didn’t have a title so I titled the video this because I thought it was humorous and relevant to my intense interest in Scriabin at the time.
Most positive Whatismusic123 comment
No it isn't. Not at all.
You don’t need to apologise. All music is derivative. Always.
Sounds nice.
what made you have the urge to post this 4 year old work.
I wanted to upload some music so I can share it with people. I don’t think it’s at all unusual to upload a four year old work.
Very interesting. I have a long standing interest in Scriabin and his idea of harmonies being associated with colours. I recall he had seven basic types of harmonies associated with Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. He put on the first light show, common in pop music now, in musical history. Thanks for this, I think I'll write a miniature.
Awesome. I love to try to represent colors in music. Definitely write that miniature, or multiple if you have the time.
why no key signature
@@deadlykitten9599 thanks for listening, I always compose without a key signature. I guess I could put one on this but it feels unnecessary to me
@@MasonIshida I mean, I would say it would clear up a lot of clutter on the sheet music with all the accidentals everywhere, but it's not a big deal.
@@deadlykitten9599I personally prefer to see the accidentals, though that’s probably an unpopular opinion. Probably if it was ever actually published I’d add a key signature. Maybe F# minor but I feel like that would go against the intended implied tonic of F, so maybe I could get away with F minor with edited accidentals, though an Eb minor key signature might also get the job done also with edited accidenatals. The scale isn’t diatonic so maybe I should just make my own key signature like Bartok did in microcosmos - Db harmonic major or whatever type of F Phrygian this is. This isn’t a favorite composition of mine anyway so I’ll probably not make any edits.
What key is it in? If it's not in a key, then which key signature would you choose?
@@pseudotonal I’ve been thinking I could get away with an F minor key signature after fixing the accidentals. The scale is F, Gb, Ab, Bbb, C, Db, Eb (F Phrygian b4 I guess). I could also make a key signature specifically for this scale but that would likely just make it more confusing for a performer. I do think I still prefer it without a key signature however.
Someone's been addicted to Prometheus lately
This is four years old so I’ve overcome that addiction at this point.
@@MasonIshidaeveryone’s addicted to Scriabin at some point 😉 great stuff!
@@MasonIshida I hope you didn't start to dislike it or be indifferent to it
cool!! the very first gesture in the clarinet reminds me a little bit of Vogel als Prophet
Oh, I’m not familiar with that.
@@MasonIshida Listening only to Scriabin and unfamiliar with basic Schumann... I can only shake my head.
@@robertschaaf8606 I’m definitely familiar with the music just didn’t remember the name. I’ve both listened to and played Schumann in the past and he’s one of my favorite romantic composers
@@robertschaaf8606 1. It's not basic Schumann. 2. I don't think anyone remembers the name of that piece. It's only three minutes long and part of a larger set.
Recognized the Scriabin sound with the piano introduction 🤣
dude really liked trills what can I say…
It sounded like sonata 7 ending lol
@@DynastieArtistiqueYes! Haha.
I can’t think of Scriabinesque or Russian futurist work for pierrot ensemble. The closest thing may be the chamber symphonies of Roslavets, but they are quite distant from this ensemble. In this way, your work is ground breaking.
If I had a genie, I would probably wish for Scriabin to have composed loads of chamber music.
that genie’s name is roslavets
@@samuelmincarelli5051his son Julian likely would have been the best successor if he didn’t drown when he was 11
If I had a genie I'd wish for better sound samples for this lovely, suggestive miniature with great possibilities.
@@ejb7969 woah careful you only get two more wishes… (Thank you btw!)
Quite cool
Very reminiscent of Ives, brilliant work; most especially the final three measures! Hauntingly beautiful!!!
Thank you!
A bit Ornstein?? Nice work on switching time sigs
Yeah probably some Ornstein influence. Others have said Ligeti or Nancarrow, for this one. Scriabin is definitely a large influence for me as well.
excellent piece! wow, keep up the great work. hope to see you gain more traction soon
Thank you!
