The Queen 2 Theme - Orchestrate

The 4th in a series following the orchestration of music based on Chess pieces. In this episode, Glenn Scott Lacey orchestrates a piano sketch featuring an oboe soloist into an orchestral piece based on a theme for “The Queen.” Topics include, the use of Harmonium, staggered instrument entrances, and the use of Church Bells.

This is a beautiful development and rendering of an idea from start to finish. Excellent instrument choices to convey the magnificence of a noble royalty, especially the pump organ and church bell additions. This is definitely a candidate for an extended work. Thanks for sharing this, Glenn.

Thank you. I do plan on possibly writing connective material and combining all of these themes into a longer work. Or possibly taking a few of them on their own and developing them into a full piece, and “The Queen” is certainly a strong candidate for that. Thanks for coming along on this journey!

This piece really turned out well. The piece is sad and beautiful and that ending is so tragic.
There was so much great info in this video that I had to watch it twice.
Thanks for this video.
