Secret Composer Synopsis1 – To compose music that depicts sneaking around in a comical setting, use the flute in the low to medium register, playing half-step trills. This creates an air of light mystery, but with a playful touch. 2 – Use the diminished scale to create melodies and counter lines. Use this scale to create a sneaky, tiptoe effect. This works especially well in the bassoon and pizzicato cellos. 3 – Use descending chromatic half steps to create a sly, comical sound. This works very well with clarinets and solo violin(s). 4 – Use light orchestration that also feels humorous. The best choices for this are the pizzicato strings, the xylophone, the bassoon, the clarinet and the solo violin(s).
