60 players would play it in 40 minutes, or perhaps slightly less. There is a scenario where it might take more, I’ll get to that.
The second part probably bears some explanation. Any composition, excepting perhaps stretches designated for improvisation, has a defined amount of time it should take. If everyone plays perfectly, one musician or a billion musicians will take exactly that amount of time, no more, no less.
But we’re dealing with humans, and even robots would have humans involved at some stage of their manufacture or operation- so perfect playing is out of the question. Herein is where the orchestra size can matter.
The most likely case for deviation would be that they take less time- specifically, that it should take something like 39:30, and the 60 gets it in 39:45. Why? Simple. With a larger orchestra, the average difficulty of seeing and keeping up with the conductor, and managing other cues to keep everyone on the same sheet of music(haha), will be harder. This will slow down the orchestra. Reducing the number of people will make coordination easier, which will speed things up.
That said, I’m assuming the cut is managed to ensure that all parts are properly represented in roughly equal proportion. But what if that’s not the case? Instead of taking 6 flutes down to 3, you keep all the flutes and decapitate your entire percussion section instead. Percussion is the primary timekeeping cue within a piece itself, and losing it will make people slow down so that they can stay coordinated, and the disturbing sight of all your percussionists heads rolling around while their neck stumps spout blood is likely to slow them down further. Thus, in some distributions of cuts as well as some methods of enforcing the cut, the orchestra might slow down.
I’m finally offering more options again for commissions! I haven’t been working during the spring as much as I used to, so any finances I can get will definitely help me keep up with bills, loans, and the upcoming semester. _(:3」∠)_

I will not do not safe for work/implied work. I will draw original and canon characters, any fandom, etc. I can do anthro characters, would probably prefer not to do mecha.
Email me at lzugeldergraphics@gmail.com with inquiries, and visual references!! I’ll be taking five slots at a time!!
Thank you so much for considering/boosting me. ;u;
I also have my new Ko-fi page up for anyone looking to donate or get a quick sketch!! ^o^
There are tales of a ghostly prince, who roams the halls of his castle, wailing in anguish at the loss of both his kingdom and his people.
An ghost Anduin AU I was playing around with. ((I”MmA GONNA DRAW A BETTER PIC OF THIS TOMORROW))
Stormwind is overrun with demons, killing nearly everyone including Anduin, who stood against the hoard of demons to let the few remaining humans left alive to flee.
The pain of his death, his father, and his people turned Anudin into a very powerful and resentful ghost.
The Legion makes Stormwind their main base on Azeroth, but oddly enough they cannot enter the castle, as Anduin’s sheer fury repels them from entering. Hundreds of years go by until the Legion is finally defeated.
However this victory is mostly achieved by the the Lich king (Bolvar) and his undead, with the Death Knight, Varian Wrynn. Neither are prepared for the sight that awaits them deep within the hollow castle…
hello I am Isei and sometimes I try my hand at comics
here’s a bit of a snippet that I had with a discord friend talking OOC about our characters that turned into a bit of an RP scene of how would Deyaenus explain his Old God manifestations and how in the heck does he manage to keep what would be a chaotic, destructive entity …well, not?
I also feel this is not something common with Shadow/Void magics and that every shadow priest, or void elf, or Old God worshiper may have different experiences and expertise in handling these destructive magics. It is after all an all consuming force that barely can cling to reality, so to each their own in a way that just works. Dey’s just happened to have been feeding on sad, depressive thoughts throughout YEARS in small amounts and used these also as ‘anchors’ to pull itself into a physical form using Dey as a sort of symbiotic vessel. When Dey’s Light cycle was fading it allowed these gnarled manifestations to grow stronger, but still depend on the priest’s delicious, depressive thoughts to ‘feed’ on and as its physical anchor. So, I guess it’s less symbiotic and more parasitic, but in a good way not really?
of course Deyaenus hears its terrible whispers, somber and pessimistic, but he confuses them as his OWN and by know he’s been living with depressive thoughts for so long he is just… good at ignoring them.
