An orchestral arrangement with Organteq 2 Preset: Experimental Tweaked, combination 10 and full brass (trumpet, saxophone, Trombone from DAW). Fifty-fifty ”partners”, Organteq 2 - brass.
Organteq 2 in the middle, surrounded by brass orchestra
What an orchestral sound!
Here Organteq 2 and a large group of musicians playing many different instruments together. And I think the orchestral playing is both tight and elegant. Saxophones, trumpets, trombones + Organteq 2
That was hard work, but I did it.So I think I can say:
This orchestral music creates a rich tapestry of sound. High frequencies, from Organteq 2 and trumpets, captivate our attention, while low frequencies, like trombones and Organteq 2 bass pedal, add depth and warmth.
And the trombones passages glows wonderfully with the Organteq 2 and the rich orchestral sound.I first want to say that the end of this my piece 1.17 - 1.23, reminds me of David Bowie's Life on Mars ( the Official Video) from 0.59 - 1.06 (Bowie’s 4th studio album 'Hunky Dory' released in 1971, which featured the singles 'Changes/Andy Warhol' & 'Life On Mars). Absolutely incredible. Higgs 1913 & Bowie 1971

Miniature 12
Henry Marcellus Higgs (1854-1929)From "Twelve Miniatures” No 12 ”Henry Marcellus Higgs (1854-1929) H. M. Higgs worked with several music publishers and published a fairly large output of organ music. I have no indication of any places at which he served as organist, but he clearly knew how to write for the instrument.
"Twelve Miniatures" dates from 1913 and was published by Novello & Co. Ltd. The set was part of the publisher's "Original Compositions for the Organ (New Series)," where it appears as No. 27. It is dedicated: "To A. Healey Foster, Esq." Each piece is different in style and format, and some could be called "studies" as they deal with a particular technical aspect of organ playing. This is the last one, No 12. The twelfth piece, ”Finale”, which I use here, is in the key of D major, written in 4/4 time, and marked to be played "Allegro marziale."This is the perfect English march, and shines out as being representative of the period. It is quite brief, so it would be ideal as a fanfare, postlude, or any liturgical usage. Like a number of these works, the piece is "bigger" than time of duration that it takes to play”.
Although the composer makes no indications for use of brass, I made my version with brass, fifty-fifty partners,half Organteq 2 - half brass, and I am pleased with the outcome. I hope you can enjoy it too.All the best, everyone
StigHere are my recordings from 2022 of all 12 Miniatures in a long row with Organteq 1, for those interested and those who missed them. I never got any reply on that long row although I myself think they are good music. It was really hard work but I loved to do it.
