Pluto

This is the first piece I ever composed that used a full orchestra.

I composed this in Sibelius and it uses the samples from there. In time I hope to update this with much better samples.

Here it is

The piece starts out with Pluto just enjoying himself out in space. Then the idiots on Earth decide Pluto is no longer a planet, so the other planets start laughung at him and taunting him with "Sorry Pluto your no planet." This continues until when shortly after the long held note Pluto responds with (in the bass) "I don't really care". Finally the others agree and life continues in the solar system.

This has always been one of my favorites.

Comments are welcome.

Wow, Ron, that is very nice - just put my mind a very relaxing space.

Excellent.

Ron, Lots ' o dynamics in this! I had the speakers cranked and could feel this go thru my bones in certain passages. Very BIG sounding. Great instrumentation used in this. Music fitting for a beautiful Sunday morning in spite of all the chaos in the solar system! Pluto looks at the earth fools and says "I stab at thee" then goes about his orbit once again...... Well done maestro!

Another great job, Ron!

That was one of the best kiper belt objects I've ever heard. It is no longer a planet as I'm sure you know.

You guys that do this type of music never cease to amaze me, really, it's beautiful.

You know Robby, I think that is the highest compliment you have ever given me. Thank you for it.

Do I feel stupid or what?

I have composed pieces that bear the same names as Holst has done, just nowhere near as good.

Pluto is now considered to be a Dwarf Planet.

Thanks for the comments

Robby

Pluto is now considered to be a Dwarf Planet along with the asteroid Ceres (found between Mars and Jupiter) and Eris and a few other objects in the Kuiper Belt. Pluto is the largest found so far in the Kuiper Belt. But much farther out in the OOrt Cloud there could be others even larger than Pluto.

Size is not the only factor in the decision of what an object is called. Pluto would be a Planet if it had cleared its orbit of all other objects, but since its orbit intersects that of Neptune, it has not cleared its orbit.

So although Pluto is not a planet, it is a dwarf Planet.

Ron

Now that's more like the robby I know.

Tell it like it is.

Get in the face and no backing down.

Pluto's a has been... Pluto coulda been a contenda.

LOL! No not pluto the song? Pluto the song is great! Pluto the used to be planet. Used to be's don't count any more, they just lay on the floor till we sweep them away...

Jon

My secret is out. I just thought no one would want to hear a song about a big dumb dog, so I pretended it was about a big cold rock.

Robby

I have a lot of pieces that used to be IMHO, good.

They also got swept away.

Why would your wife suggest a name having something to do about my anus? Granted my butt has gotten bigger thru the years, but it is certainly not planet size.

Thanks guys

Ron

Mr Larry

Hope you are starting to dry out. THanks for stopping by.

John

I hope better samples will just make it better

Thanks guys

Ron

I love the fact that you did not compress it much. This piece is beautiful and would have been hurt a lot if you had removed the dynamics. (as is the style these days)

It is very nice indeed. I don't know how you keep all the parts straight!? Impressive.

I have been sitting on it for a few years now while waiting for better samples.
Now that I have them I just haven't taken the time to work on it again because I also like it as is.

Erik

I rarely ever compress my works. It just takes away from the orchestra.

I don't worry much about keeping the parts straight except when my muse is drunik. Then it is a pain for sure.

Walt

I have some friends that are just as far outside of the box as I am. They just use different sequencers so I don't have to compete with them here.

Thanks guys

Ron
