Excellent video, thank you for sharing. :) "Carlotta's Portrait" from VERTIGO is a great example of assorted triads uneasily wandering over an articulated pedal tone for almost two minutes.
I'm playing in a Rush tribute band, and the lead Geddy Lee also plays the bass and synths. Absolute mad man. He does rely a lot on bass and top pedal points to make it happen (but also does other crazy stuff) we split his role into 3 people, and I'm still not 100% sure how to play when he has top and bass pedal points, as well as keyboard melody just insane
Hi, guys. Thanks, very interesting lesson topic! It would be great if in the future there will be videos with different compositional techniques and methods. Regards, Yaroslav.
Great video. One crit - I think most viewers will know what tonic and dominant are and there are plenty of resources on TH-cam if they don't. We're here for your knowledge and expertise.
Thanks! A lot of people might know those terms, but I think it makes it more inclusive to quickly explain them. And those who know can enjoy being smug that they've got the music theory background 😅🤓
Fair enough, I understand your point@@clairewritesmusic. However, this isn't a case of smugness, I watch a lot of music theory videos and it gets tiring to sit through explanations of the basics every time. So I would encourage keeping revision as brief as possible. I think if people don't understand harmonic function it could be better to point them to a fuller video introduction. Pedal point being a slightly more advanced topic. That said, I look forward to seeing more of your presentations
I find the term "Virtual Orchestration" stupid and borderline offensive to anyone who stops and considers the concept for a moment. Or at the very least, a very poor use of the English language. As is this video tutorial.

Nice! I'm due a rewatch of Vertigo so I'll look out for that !
Awesome explanations! Thank you!
😁🙏 glad it was helpful!
Claire’s musical sketches are always so impressive and inspiring
Thank you so much!! So happy to hear that 😊😊🙏
Olympic fanfare and theme - John Williams
Yes that's a huge one!
This is very interesting, thank you Claire for this explicit video! I really like the example of the double pedal 🙂

Thanks for a great video! - My input: Mahler symphony no 1 - first movement, intro. A beautiful example of a double pedal - high and low! :-)
That's a great reference, beautiful writing - I'm going to have to listen to that again now!
The mockups are absolutely fire!!! And I love the double pedal
Ahh thanks so much!! Had fun writing these 🙌🤓
For people into game music, the most memorable and iconic use of pedal is the beginning of Final Fantasy VII:

Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks
🙏
Excellent ideas, Claire! I have something I'm working on right now where I'm going to use one of these! Perfect timing 😊
Ah great!! Glad it came along at the right moment 😁
Wow i did not know about the double pedal, great content ! Also amazing vangelis tip 😊
😂 it's a classic!
I actually noticed I kinda overuse it in my opinion😅🙈
Haha yes that's easily done, sometimes I have to challenge myself *not* to use one!
Thanks Claire. Great info! 👍🙂🎼🎵🎶
Thanks for watching! 😊
Thank you for these great tips Claire! I love the sound of pedal notes!
Me too! Such a good way of getting away from overused chord progressions
Thanks going to try this in my trance compositions
Now that I want to hear 🙌🙌🙌
Great presentation. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Claire that was really fascinating!
🥳🥳 always happy to hear that!

@@timflatus just meant smug in a playful way, didn't mean any offence!
@@clairewritesmusic none taken, I'm just a bit blunt sometimes 🙂
Lots of great ideas to try here - thanks Claire!
Let us know how you get on with it! 😊
Very interesting, as usual 🙂
😊🙏
Outstanding! Thank you
😁🙏 glad it was useful!
Thank you😊

Why? It's orchestrating music with virtual instruments. How would you call it?

Rude!
