Description

The time is the revolution, he may not see her again, he asked for her hand in marriage and to his utter astonishment she accepts. . .

Four weeks later . . . .

The marriage celebration has started, the cannons can be heard in the backround. They dance, he takes her hand, she twirls gently under his uniformed uplifted arms.

He can't believe the love he has for his newly beloved bride. His heart swells with undying love . . .

His officers, as they pleasantly look on to their commander, who they know is so much in love. Realize the time has come he must soon have to depart to what will be the hardest most terror-filled war of the revolution . . . .

Expanding your horizons!
Nice multitracking Bill - from memory this is the first of yours where I've noticed more than the single Betsy track (I may be wrong here). I really like the way you have expanded your approach with this. The strings are beautifully subtle and really add to the emotion. The doubled runs are very nice indeed. Great piece Bill!

Well, THIS one...
...goes instantly to five Playlists...

The historical back story really sets the stage. I don't
usually like those sorts of things... they can get twee or
cutesy too easily...

But with that scene-setting, I can see this tune easily
serving as soundtrack something of the like of Barry
Lyndon, Tom Jones, The Duellists, or Elvira Madigan...

Wonderful melody, wonderful dance really, wonderful
background orchestration...

Run out of superlatives, Bill...

	Well, THIS one... Thanks Ed for reading the setting. It gives me inspiration to think that it is worthwhile to do that and make tunes with that type of style in mind. At least I hope I can come up with more:) Thanks for putting this tune on some of yuur playlists! --- The Tiler Check out my latest song called I't Been A While

Thoroughly excellent!!
This is far and away one of the best structured and
interesting pieces I've ever heard on macjams- you're
obviously extremely talented. It sounds like the piece was
very tightly composed- if any part were improvised it
certainly isn't obvious. The piece is able to draw pictures
instantly in the listeners mind. It seems to have quite a
baroque feel to it. I like the picture you've posted it's very
interesting!!

Thanks, I am not sure if there is nothing better than the friendliness that you
have shown here to majer's Jack. You are a vital part of this communty.

Thanks for feedback on this tune. I had so much fun composing this tune
working with JP 4. The french horn and violins are a gas to work with on this
tune. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. It seems to be like a musical
puzzle and try to fit in the right pieces.

Almost Missed
I caught this piece on Skipper's "MacJams Radio" having missed it
previously. Really outstanding and lovely. The orchestration is subtle
yet adds so significantly to the composition. The mix is very well
balanced and has much more sonic excitement than I might have
expected in a piece featuring acoustic guitar.

The composition is lively and lyric. I could envision this melody played
on a dulcimer, but the arrangement here really celebrates everything
that makes a guitar unique. If only I could relate to my guitar in the
rich way you so clearly approach the instrument - but then that would
take practice. I'll have to stick to distortion and ham-fisted chords. :)
