I'm sorry MithLuin, but I don't think Musescore has a vuvuzela as one of its instruments . I shall have to invest in some software that does.To be completely honest, I will be performing in a joke version of the Ainulindalë in a few weeks. We're going to have tin flutes, a mandolin and drum....and Melkor will interrupt with kazoo.
So, if you can work in a vuvuzela, I think you will have nailed Melkor's personality
I mean...they sound like angry bees....what is better at interrupting than that?
My apologies for having no useful contributions here. All I know about making music sound evil is to put it in a minor key. But I'd want something bombastic for Melkor.....
I like the Devil's Trill in the style of playing for Mairon, but I really can't see him doin' some boot scootin' while he is carrying out Aule's work.So, I asked a musically talented friend who is as familiar with Silmarillion as I am about this, and here was one of her suggestions for 'Baroque Melkor Music':
The opening of 'A Clockwork Orange', using "Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary - March" by Henry Purcell 1659-1695 (as this is the actual opening of the film, there is voiceover about 2 min into this)
And for another Stanley Kubrick film score, Handel's Sarabande:
She also suggested this for Mairon/Sauron:
That conductor is brilliant. Who did he get lesson's off? Bugs Bunny?Like this!
I mean, this is too happy, but it is certainly ridiculously pleased with itself.
For something more dramatic, the-world-hates-me, try:
For music that sounds like it should accompany an army of elephants, try Dvorak's 'From the New World':
Yes Haakon, these suggestions will get to the execs. My summary will include these discussions and links.By the way - will any of these ideas reach the execs? Or is that only if we make our own music?
