As I started listening I heaved a huge sigh of relief. The world is starting to be relieved of the clutches of the Zimmer era thump thump music with ostinatos and taiko drums and program patches. Congrats Rahul on achieving the craft of our masters...the orchestration is exquisite. Your heroes are the same as mine, JW, Ravel, Mahler and Debussy. Besides Ravel and Debussy I hear a lot of Richard Strauss influence in your music Thanks YT for showing me this channel!
Agreed, I like film scores but man this just tickles me correct. I'm sure if Ravel were still alive he'd be grinning ear to ear with glee in his eyes listening to this.
This is breathtaking music. Not only is the music a cocoon of comfort but also the scoring is astoundingly readable. This is magnificent and I sure hope that this style of orchestral works becomes mainstream and popular. I am Favorite-ing this and putting it at the top of the folder. Were I to compose, THIS is what would be considered the goal. Congratulations and best wishes.
I am absolutely fascinated by your work ! This is probably the most well written classical music from a modern composer I have ever heard.... This is braethtaking.
This is awesome work! The Nocturne has some direct Mahler references that really made my ear perk up. Gorgeous writing overall - I love your sense of harmony and color. Thanks for sharing!
What a breath of fresh air. I've only just started listening but your control of texture and harmony is evident. The introduction feels very ravelian in its melodies and orchestration, which I enjoy.
Nice work. Very English - reminiscent of Delius in some ways. Aptly titled as symphonic interludes, and skillfully orchestrated. Thank you for sharing.
Only posting this because of this "hype it or shut up" vibe I'm getting in the comments. Too common on TH-cam these days, and it lets you forget criticism isn't hating. To be clear, it is a good composition, and I can sense the hard work behind it. Maybe it's just that I don't like the common Hollywood style of most modern compositions. But to me, this is a mere soundscape that lacks really characteristic moments. I would have wished for more distinctive themes of effects like in Debussy's "Preludes". Now hate me all you want. And of course, if you really like this suite, tell the world 🙂.
Yes, it’s well orchestrated, and has a very pleasant late romantic/early impressionistic sound, but in the end it’s largely a pastiche. Perhaps most tonal pieces nowadays will necessarily be so. The orchestration skills are certainly evident; and the composer may find a unique voice in time?
The only catch is that orchestras can choose from unlimited original music by great composers he is literally copying from., and which are of no comparison in terms of sophistication and complexity
Wow, this is incredible! A beautiful modernisation of familiar sounds from past renowned composers. This is a breath of fresh air in today's increasingly oversaturated contemporary and 'film score' music scene. Ka Pai!
La musique est salutaire quand elle suscite une émotion ou une humeur en vous. il ne s'agit pas nécessairement d'être mélodique, religieux ou ouvertement musical, mais plutôt de transporter l'auditeur quelque part où il n'était pas avant. Dans ce cas précis, j'ai l'impression d'être assis sur un banc de cimetière par une tiède soirée. Le vent me caresse doucement le visage, et tout est silencieux à part la nature qui m'entoure 🤗
I'm a composition student in Bethlehem, PA, and I just wanted to tell you that your work has helped me break through my writer's block and introduce new compositional ideas/techniques into my vocabulary. You truly are one of the greats of our time. This is all VERY well done, congratulations on writing pure beauty and masterful, awe-inspiring sonic soundscapes! Where can I buy a score???
This is really awesome! Feels like a mix of impressionist, romantic and the golden/silver age composers wrapped into one. Also, is the nordic music society a specifically-recording-only ensemble? Let us know if you have any live concerts in London. Would love to listen live.
Thanks! Everything you hear in this video is a VST virtual midi instrument there’s no live recording, and the Nordic Music Society is a record label that has subsidiary labels for neo-classical, electronic, pop etc. but they’re not specifically recording only I’ll be sure to post an announcement for any London performances 👍
It's lovely, but you do know D-flats aren's evil, right? Same goes for A- and C-flats. It makes many of the lines much harder to undestrand from a harmonic perspective as a performer and a person reading the score when normal triadic chords are spelled with random enharmonics. But the music itself really is very nice, and I hope someday to hear it live
23:07 sounds a lot like Tod und verklarung opening. A bit later I hear a lot of Ein Heldenleben, Not a criticism at all. You reproduce the textures amazingly well with your own touch.

I sincerely congratulate you on the composition of this suite, I really enjoyed the use of orchestral textures and the combinations between the various instruments. May I ask what notation software you use to write the scores, and what House-style? (At a glance I notice a similarity with the 'Academico' font, which is part of the 'Norfolk' House-style compatible with Sibelius and Finale but I may be wrong...) Greetings from Italy
«Everything you hear in this video is a VST MIDI virtual mock-up, there is no live recording». Sounds like a real orchestra. Which program or instrument library did you use? :S
Undeniably beautiful music. But I feel compelled to ask : what is it all about ? There seems to be an all-pervading aimless quality to it. What is all this superbly crafted music for, and where is it going ? What is it trying to say ? Stylistically, it is clearly massively indebted to Ravel and Prokofiev. In terms of its genre, it seems to only make sense as film music. It is episodic, and not symphonic - it ends up going nowhere despite all its soul- searching.

As a (budding) composer myself, this makes me jealous. I need to catch up a lot. Great work, Rahul! 🎉🎉🎉
this is literally one of *the best* orchestral works I have EVER heard, hands down. why does this channel not have more attention?!
Gorgeous. Your style hits all my favorite styles. Well done. I don't know how you have the patience to make such detailed mockups but hats off to you!

This is so beautiful. What a masterpiece!!!!
Very nice the mahlerian nocturne. In general very great work, GG.
What a breath of fresh air. I've only just started listening but your control of texture and harmony is evident. The introduction feels very ravelian in its melodies and orchestration, which I enjoy.
The extended techniques are so fresh!!!!
Nice work. Very English - reminiscent of Delius in some ways. Aptly titled as symphonic interludes, and skillfully orchestrated. Thank you for sharing.
Simply beautiful and well crafted❤

If we lived in a perfect world, *every major orchestra* would be tripping over each other for the honor of premiering this suite.
Definitely !
Gosh imagine the Berlin Philharmonic or the Vienna Symphony Orchestra doing this live.

I also really enjoy your Mahler 2 finale reference in VIII Nocturne!!!

Sounds incredible! It would be wonderful if you could please share a video on the production process as well.
Well done!
Nice work! It's classic, but at the same time it's contemporary

@@rahulgohilcomposer very nice! What libraries did you use? Amazing mocking up skills!
.....same goes here for Acapulco.....unlikely? Y'never know!
Really amazing! bravo. Could you tell us the libraries you used in this suite please?

Hello! Hope you are good. How did you achieve a sound like this? You used those VST on Sibelius/Dorico or how? Thank you.
This is great! which VST's are you using?
Have you considered making this an album and putting it up for sale on Bandcamp? I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Per the description, there is no live recording. But how do you achieve this level of realism when using VST MIDI instruments?
I hear some references to The Planets, Daphnis and Chloe and Mahler 2 ;)
and Richard Strauss too! This seems inspired by all the masters, not bad people to mimic at all!
What VST have you used here?
Just listened few snippets, sounds great what libraries?
«Everything you hear in this video is a VST MIDI virtual mock-up, there is no live recording». Sounds like a real orchestra. Which program or instrument library did you use? :S
How does a viola do on a D string a Bb below middle C?
they cant do that
Impressive writing and realisation, but also a little worrying for orchestral players.
Undeniably beautiful music. But I feel compelled to ask : what is it all about ? There seems to be an all-pervading aimless quality to it. What is all this superbly crafted music for, and where is it going ? What is it trying to say ?
Stylistically, it is clearly massively indebted to Ravel and Prokofiev. In terms of its genre, it seems to only make sense as film music. It is episodic, and not symphonic - it ends up going nowhere despite all its soul- searching.
quite delicious.....
Is this AI? I hear a lot of Ravel and Rachmaninoff (and others) in this piece. It's rather nice listening.
I like these pieces, rahul!
Can you please put a link to the full pdf score?
I really want it!
What an amazing sound! Which VST did you use?
