So..in this post. Tim attempts to assess music.
The piece i,ll be attempting to assess is persis overture by James L. Hosay.
Dont ask why.
When Xinyi first sent me that piece i thought it was ok.
But 30mins ago when i woke up , i listenend to it again and something was different this time round.

I only wish i knew a little more about ochestral instruments so that i dont sound like a fool

The song begins with a strike on the timpany.
Then , the instruments come in , playing a descending scale.
The first thing that flashes through my mind is large scale of the music.
Its the kind that fills every corner of a room , every corner of a large hall
The music then proceeds to what i think is the trumpet playing a sort of Medieval kind of sound with flute and clarinet ( i think ) accompaniments.
The trumpets and french horns play in fortissimo ( pathetic attempt to apply music theory ) while the oboe , flutes and clarinet sort of play the softer running notes.
Theres this part where the percussionist goes all like snare snare snare. which i like.

After that i hear something which i think is the Xylophone. as the music enters a softer more relaxed phase. A particular low sounding instrument resonates in the background i cant seem to identify what it is though. A little bit of chimes here and there.

The sound of what i think is an Oboe or Clarinet pierces the silence.
Hearing the sweet sound which brings tears to my eyes. The solo brings across a sad story soon the oboe or clarinet stops playing and the flute takes over , giving the same sad feeling but on a more subtle less outstanding way.

Next , geez. i would really like to know what that background instrument is. It sounds kinda like a horn or smth. zzz lack of knowledge. I swear if i knew a little more i could put across my feelings towards this piece.
But after that little solo , i get this sort of chamber music kinda feel. Something like what you,d get from Lord of the Rings.

Soon , the music progresses to sort of like a different tone.
How do i explain. The "rythmn instruments" sort of blend into each other and the lead instrument portrays this kinda hopeful picture. Its not a happy picture but it sort of gives hope to the listener.

Then theres this cool cool percussion section.
The snare again is all like tatatat tata tat and its accompanied by some timpany too.
Then it goes into this sort of Baroque style which is sort of thrilling. That same instrument that did the background for the oboe / clarinet solo is playing again. It sounds cool that instrument.

Then there comes to this Section where the Ochestra goes like BANG then the Xylophone and this instrument which sounds like a ???? but there are plenty of running notes which is like sexy.

Towards the end of song , theyre playing this similar tune that sounds kinda hopeful with some like fast fast thing which is soft being played in the background.
After that , a grand finish with the percussion build up.

Ok. So there you go.
Tims erm not so accurate attempt at assessing a piece of music.
Man.. i could probably do better if it was like a five piece band.. but this is cooler i guess.
