Yeah Dom, Beethoven has no PC, no Recording Machine and so on. He has only a pencil and many sheet music..... All the Arrangements are in his brain. What a Genius..... Today we can playing alone a big Orchestra on PC... What an evolution.... Best regards from Germany 🎹🎵🎸🎙
@@marcelcouture5373 he was going deaf at the point he wrote this but he wasn’t totally deaf. One critic said he it was proof Beethoven had lost his mind, while Friederich Wieck said he must have been drunk when he wrote it… Oh and he had a piano to go with the ink pen and paper. The piano was being developed during his lifetime and he was sent new models to try out, which is why his music started getting louder and more complex. There’s some disagreement about whether his music developed to use the new more powerful instruments, or the piano developed to keep up with his demands. Late models had metal frames. You couldn’t play the Hammerklavier sonata on an old fortepiano as it would break 😂
Bravo Dom! I've been blessed to play Beethoven's 7th symphony countless times in my 38 year career as a violinist. Your timing and artistic vision are impeccable. The subtlety of your playing and skillful use of the sample libraries really brings out the majesty and pathos of that opening melodic statement. Truly brought a tear to my eye. Again, bravo.
😂 are you fake ? How a musician can play this symphonie since 38 years with real instruments and make a positive comment about this awful imitation ? It’s your friend ? Your earn something ? You play in the plugins …
Only 20 seconds in, and you already got my COMPLETE ATTENTION! This is one of my favourite pieces of music. I'm eager to hear how you orchestrated it in a DAW.
👍Thanks, Dom, for the pointers on ties and slur expressions. I'm learning from scratch with Dorico Elements 5 and also tried MuseScore some with success. Years of reading chorded music sheets for guitar only goes so far. Now that I am getting serious about releasing my own music, I'm doing the hard work of writing out my notation ideas for keyboard and midi instrumentation. I resonate with your passion and really like your TH-cam presence and teaching style.
WOW...LOVED IT. Very profound and insightful. I love your passion and how you expressed it as you made this video. Thank you Dom for making this video and sharing it with us.
This is so cool. I love this music very much. And I love your version. It's a wonderful interpretation. So for me, I don't listen to a library. I listen to Beethoven and your music! I think this is the best what you can reach and transform with music. Merci❤
I learnt a ton about articulation from Glenn Gould, he plays such a variety of phrasings in his Bach interpretations. Good musician s are slways aware of articulation how the start, sound out, end and connect the notes.its not just about hitting the right note at the right time.
Great video as usual! For me this piece is all about the writing more than the orchestration itself: I mean the orchestration derives strictly from the lines Beethoven wrote, which follow a superb counterpoint a balance themselves in the polyphony.
Great job Dom ! It has been a while since Lacrimosa experience… I was waiting for such a wonderful and passionate number 2 in classical theme. Thanks Dom, thanks and please continue this original series. You are the only one on TH-cam having so complete and diverse knowledge to be able to make that. Requiem is my favorite from Mozart, 7th symphony is my favorite from Beethoven… what will be number 3 ?
I would love for you to do the same video, just with the internal factory sounds of a Yamaha Montage (M). To see how far it could go, if a pro like you does it. Just like your Mozart video, this one is as impressive, resulting in a beautiful rendition.
Thanks! DOM, please! Could you make a tutorial video how to cast the sound from cubase while screen recording, or while I'm in the zoom- or Skype- conference. Would be very useful)
I appreciate your respect for the music, and you have my respect for that respect. If you would like a suggestion for another piece to demonstrate/orchestrate, I'd suggest Bartok: Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, could be very interesting! Oh, and Brahms, Piano Concerto No 1. And Britten, Four Sea Interludes, and that's just a few "B"s... Then there's... no no, enough already 😉Wait - can I add Penderecki, Threnody? Ligeti, Requiem? All very challenging to DAW. I'd love to see what you can make of it. Given music of sufficient quality, the musician does not play the music. The music plays the musician.
Do Mahler next. I’m off to a performance of the second symphony next month. The last twenty minutes are to die for. Or Wagner. Or a Shostakovich symphony!
Be honest Dom. How much do you wish you actually had this giant "monitor" floating right in front of you and it wasn't just edit magic? 😅 The fact that Beethoven was able to compose this while having already gone completely deaf at that point still is the most mind boggling thing to me. Also must have been absolutely soul crushing to be a composer and only ever get to imagine how your work would sound like without ever actually hearing it.
Hi Dom, great video. Could you do a video on your technique using CC controllers to make the sound more realistic ? No one ever goes into detail about how to do it and make it sound smooth and natural. 🙏
Just fabulous, Dom! 🙌 Any chance to watch your approach in regards to GAIN STAGING ochestral sample instruments sometime? I'm kind of strugglin with that as attempting to create my scoring template. As always, thank you for the amazing content you're always providing us with.
As a noob not knowing how orchestration is done this was super interesting. So did some guy do this when orchestrating 'set fire to the rain' for Adele's Royal Albert Hall concert?
Hello. Please make a lesson on Arpacha 5. Tell me, what is the principle of manual arpeggio pattern adjustment? What parameter is each tuning band responsible for? How to set the starting note? No, I can't find a manual. Thanks in advance.
I attempted writing symphonies from 1990 to 2000 with the available sound modules but it sounded awful, could be with sample libraries today and a good powerful computer, it is possible. I went another direction and decided to create my own instruments with synthesizers and orchestrate those instead of trying to "fool" people into thinking they were listening to an 80-piece orchestra.
You are so talented man. I’m buying the drum kit max very soon. Couple questions: What midi remote is that? Are there any resources that show how to setup orchestral templates and articulation maps in Cubase? Thanks!
Hello, Dom! I've subscribed to your channel. Going to get this Beethoven symphony and learn it. What screen monitor and what expression MIDI controller are you using in your left hand? Beautifully done. Im new to composing and starting late in life, 77 yrs young. I'm using Logic Pro and don't have Cubase. Thank you🙏🏾
Some notes of the library sound monotone as if there were no roundrobins. At 21:45 the basses sound like bagpipes. I think this kind of orchestrations need more MPE. A Roli Keyboard would be fine to put every note in a different feeling. With the usual keyboards every whole accord is with the same intonation. I can not do it better, but I recognize the samplebased sounds. May be that SWAM string sections are more alive.
Hey Dom! Great video, very informative, thank you. My question is, do you balance the velocity you use with the expression/mod wheel map? Do you feel you generally have to?
Dom, this video is absolutly great, I like it very much! - One thing I's like to know: What are these two small white MIDI controllers on the left side of your desk? Unfortunately I can't find them on your gear list at Thomann.
Hi Chris, it’s called Monogram CC and it’s a modular midi controller. You can find them on their website but lately I know that deliveries can take a long time so keep that in mind :)
Hi Dom. I've written a piano concerto, which I've recorded in Cubase 12 Pro. Almost all of the instruments are from East West Opus and are arranged as a traditional orchestra. However, the piano keeps getting lost in the arrangement. If I mute the piano, the orchestra sound great, well balanced and works well well together and if I solo the piano, it also sounds great on its own (plenty of dynamics etc). I haven't quantized anything and I played the orchestral instruments using appropriate levels of CC7 and 11. I seem to remember you saying in another video that you don't use compression as such in orchestral arrangements? How can I keep the piano as the up-front instrument but while retaining the dynamics in the playing? I'm kind of hoping you may have done a video about this already? Cheers. 🙂
Never quantize when you do this kind of exercice? Ok... but what if you want to export the MIDI to Dorico to get a score? And by the way, Dom, how do you make that possible? Thanks anyway for this great video 😊
I recently invested in Native Instruments for their classical instruments and have discovered articulations not available in Cubase for example. How does Hollywood Strings stack up against NI?
I think I speak for the boys. We all want the video 3 hours long 🎉 😅 just a thought.
3 is for boys, real men go from 12 hours and above!
For real
Gestures : 10
Sound of the orchestra: 3
Muse Score sounds better with the new libraries than this and you have to do nothing, just write. and balance a bit with panning and mixer.
Sound of orchestra =0
Yeah Dom, Beethoven has no PC, no Recording Machine and so on.
He has only a pencil and many sheet music.....
All the Arrangements are in his brain.
What a Genius.....
Today we can playing alone a big Orchestra on PC...
What an evolution....
Best regards from Germany 🎹🎵🎸🎙
@@mattesrockt8054 And he was deaf …
Still waiting for his genius to re appear in a PC composer.

thats what i love about classical music. no reverb, no computers. just piano, orchestra and pure skill
The imaginary orchestra that beethoven listened in his head must sounded better than the best orchestra of his time.

Tears streaming down my face by the end of that. Now THAT'S music. Amazing work, thank you, Dom.
I haven’t even gotten 20 secs into this and I’m already hooked! Please more content like this!
Fantastic video. 3h long is not a problem, it's a pleasure to see you share your knowlege !
Brilliant Dom. I really enjoyed the Mozart that you did last time, and now Beethoven, fantastic. More like this would certainly be welcome, thank you.
A standard controller keyboard and orchestral samples are such an imperfect way to simulate the string dynamics of a real orchestra.
would you care to provide an alternative....i can't play any of those instruments so what would you suggest
@@KarryConwayto enroll a real orchestra ?
more videos like this brother please
My favorite Beethoven movement. So brooding and emotional.
Only 20 seconds in, and you already got my COMPLETE ATTENTION! This is one of my favourite pieces of music. I'm eager to hear how you orchestrated it in a DAW.
What a talent master! ...and excellent explanations to read the score in the light of the new technologies....Cubase is incredible for this!
Awesome Tutorial and I like it! Thank you for this👍🙏!
Really amazing Dom!
21:35 somebody give this guy a trophy 😍😋
This is as easily one of the most objectively interesting music production videos I’ve ever seen
Thank you Jeff
Just found you. Amazing rendition of an amazing movement of music.
Fantastic! Thank you for this superb video; from start to finish you're talking about musicality and expression. Thanks and best wishes, DWB
Dover publications. Very good looking scores and good sizes. And most of all great prices.
Cubase is perfect for scoring and this type of music!
Dom is brilliant!
Brilliant .❤❤ god bless brother .
Woooow! What a mind blowing video! 🎉👏 Thank you, Dom! This is awesome! 🤩
I loved that video. Still remembering the Requiem one !
This is so cool to watch, thank you for uploading Dom
So happy about no quantize. I learned that the hard way!
Man..This is awesome! Thank you!
Such a beautiful piece of music. Giving goosebumps every time I listen to it.
You deserve all the medals, this is really awesome!
A cup of coffee and your this kind of videos wow
very interesting, Dom! Now I´m diving more in classical music again ❤

This was truly a mini master class
An excellent video, thank you Dom its wonderful to watch you construct the piece and explain how the composition works. Cheers Dave
According to Karajan...Is it a melody? ...Nah
WOW...LOVED IT. Very profound and insightful. I love your passion and how you expressed it as you made this video. Thank you Dom for making this video and sharing it with us.

Spectacular, Dom.
Thank you Scott ❤
What a wonderful studio great channel n video cheers Dom best wishes from Shropshire Phil 👍
The 7th is my personal favourite amongst Beethoven’s symphonies… and it’s not just because of the Allegretto movement.
Great video as usual! For me this piece is all about the writing more than the orchestration itself: I mean the orchestration derives strictly from the lines Beethoven wrote, which follow a superb counterpoint a balance themselves in the polyphony.
The best way to LEARN to Read and orchestrate, by reproduction Classical masterpieces, wonderful.
Expert at work...pay attention 😉
what amazes me is beethoven had to imagine the arrangement in his head, imagine if he had cubase!
Bravo!
Great job Dom ! It has been a while since Lacrimosa experience… I was waiting for such a wonderful and passionate number 2 in classical theme.

I appreciate your respect for the music, and you have my respect for that respect. If you would like a suggestion for another piece to demonstrate/orchestrate, I'd suggest Bartok: Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, could be very interesting!

Given music of sufficient quality, the musician does not play the music. The music plays the musician.
Excellent. Interpretive orchestration of Scarlatti sonata next?
Do Mahler next. I’m off to a performance of the second symphony next month. The last twenty minutes are to die for.
Or Wagner. Or a Shostakovich symphony!
Or, for us Brits, the first movement of Vaughan Williams’s sixth symphony, or Mars from Holst’s Planets Suite

Why no Montage keyboard?
Looks like NI's?
Hai, can you make a pdf of the score, so we can try this at home😀
All the shaking about put me right off hahaha
Really nice and inspiring video😊🙏🏻
What is the name of the fader controller you use?
Nice work on the arrangement! That computer monitor you're using is fantastic, what kind is it? Thanks!
I‘d say it’s a 4k TV
What are you using for the modulation and expressions. What gear?
Dom, what is the controller you are using on the strings with the fader?
Do you Know how can I use modx sound to Cubase without a sound card because montage, modx have also sound card in them?
Do you mix with headphones or monitors?
When it comes to Beethoven, for me it has to be the Eroica, the Pastoral or the magnificence of the 8th.
Never quantize when you do this kind of exercice? Ok... but what if you want to export the MIDI to Dorico to get a score? And by the way, Dom, how do you make that possible? Thanks anyway for this great video 😊
You are genius. But hey Dom, how big is your computer monitor? I would like to know.
Dom out of curiosity what made you go for Hollywood Strings 2 instead of CSS or Pacific Strings?
Great video! What is that midi controller you're using for expression/vibrato? Monogram? Thanks.
I recently invested in Native Instruments for their classical instruments and have discovered articulations not available in Cubase for example. How does Hollywood Strings stack up against NI?
