Fantasy for Orchestra - Original Composition (2023 PMEA Outstanding Composition)

Fantasy for Orchestra was the first orchestral piece I've ever fully completed. The piece began as an idea and the motivation to have my middle school chamber orchestra perform a composition of mine. Once I'd finished it, written for just strings, I thought the piece would sound amazing if I arranged it for full orchestra...so that's what I did. I also added some extra revisions. The work was completed in December of 2022, and I decided to submit it to the PMEA Composition Program. The piece was awarded "Outstanding Composition" in March of 2023, and "premiered" (a computer-generated recording I had submitted due to complications with the size of the orchestra) at the PMEA All-State Conference on April 20, 2023. The work may be performed by the Lower Merion Symphony Orchestra for the upcoming 2023-24 season.

Any tips to write like this?

[@ethanhcomposer]

Usually I like to study scores and keep revising my ideas into something I like. Also, if it's possible, a private teacher is super helpful!

Ok so I’m a tiny bit confused. What does H stand for in your channel name? Hero? Because that is what you are. I love this song, and it has made me automatically subscribe to you. I just have a couple, tiny complaints.
1. There should be a bigger clarinet part, preferably a clarinet solo.
2. There is no sax, the sax, if played properly, can blend beautifully, despite what many composers may say, such an Ethan H that goes to my school.
That’s all I really have to say, but I do have a request. Can you maybe think about writing fantasy, but every part is played by a saxophone? Thank you sir, and goodnight.
(P.S, if you don’t write the entire song written in sax, I will transpose it all into a sax and play every part with sax.)

[@ethanhcomposer]

Don’t worry, I’ll write a piece for alto sax :)

You’re a living legend sir 🫡
