- This is a sequence of Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto in G
- Major, the jazz-influenced companion piece to the Concerto (in D)
- for the left hand (which I've also sequenced and uploaded widely).
-
- The main sound module I've used for this sequence is the
- Proteus 2. However, I've had to use the One Stop Music Shop (sort
- of a GM Proteus on a 16-bit audio card) for the Wood Blocks since
- the Proteus 2 doesn't have this sound. Also, I used Hand Clap for
- the Whip (yes, for you fetishists, there's a WHIP in the score,
- although you only hear it once, the very first "note"!), since
- I didn't find such an, ah, Instrument in any of my synths.
-
- I also used the Pizzicato program from OSMS for the Pizzicato
- Violins since at times some violins are playing arco (bowed) while
- the others are playing pizzicato. I've done this due to track
- limitations.
-
- Other things I've done to save tracks are to have the other
- string programs share tracks, have the mute trumpet, (non-muted)
- trumpet, and string harmonics share a track, and have the various
- clarinets share a track (the Eb Clarinet gets its own track, but
- I've combined the A and Bb Clarinets into a single track).
-
- For the piano part I use a Korg P3 on its own MIDI output.
- Note that at one point I've created a second piano track to take
- care of notes that are sounded while they are still sounding
- from a previously-played note at that pitch.
-
- You should be able to combine the orchestral tracks into 15
- tracks, reserving the remaining track for the piano. Of course,
- you'll need 2 synths (or one with 64-note polyphony), but you
- should be able to get away without a multiport MIDI interface.
-
- Lastly, I've included the program map I use on my Proteus 2,
- as well as the XR banks from which some of my programs are drawn.
- I don't use most of the programs in this bank; many of them are
- there until I replace them with something better.
-
- P.S. You'll notice that there are many solo instruments (Ravel uses
- a small orchestra for this score) in this movement.
