Love the recording of it. Like how the harpsicord sounds and how it
interplays with the rest of the instruments. The list goes on and on . . .

Thanks for sharing

I got carried away
Authored by: atwood1956 on Tue, 1 Nov 2005 20:19:16 -0600
and accidentally fav'd this while I was logged in as the Noel Project. So
the Project fav'd itself, which is certainly within its power as a Project.

But I want you to know, Scott, that this is one of my favorite Christmas
pieces, and I was really surprised and happy when you offered to post
it here. I know how difficult it is to get a true orchestral sound, but I
find myself caught up in this arrangement of yours, so much so that I
am almost unaware that this is not a 'real' orchestra. Excellent!

Thanks again. I and the entire Noel Project are proud to fav you.

Grand
Authored by: TobinMueller on Wed, 2 Nov 2005 06:55:14 -0600
Captures the grand nature of the piece and uses the pallet of strings
beautifully. Well voiced, with open intervals and gracious pacing. A
thrill
to listen to.

This is lovely, Scotty.
You've done a marvelous job with the software instruments, and the
lilting 'voices' are sweet and sublime, with just the right undercurrent
in the lower strings to carry it along serenely.

Thank you so much for sharing this with the Noel Project!

This recording is really good. There is only one thing: Usually in this
time,
music like this was played in a more "waltz-like" rhythm. I can't really
describe it because unfortunately I don't know what "synkompiert"
means
in english. But if there's any German out there who can translate...

Thank You Mr. Novatian,
About the tempo:I purchased this composition from
the iTunes Music Store with a performance by the Berlin Philharmonic
and
also Saint Martin in the Fields to check for tempos. The
Saint Martin's is much FASTER while Berlin's is a little
more rubato and even drawn out in places.
I don't think Corelli had the idea of a waltz...but who knows for sure
exactly what was in his mind. Thank goodness there are many versions
and we can then focus on the one we enjoy even if a waltz.
Regards,
MidiOrleans

TEMPO
Authored by: MidiOrleans on Wed, 2 Nov 2005 17:10:26 -0600
....guess I could always just easily
set the tempo up some in GarageBand to make into a >Waltz...? easy!

Wonderful Job Scotty!
Authored by: digitalnirvana9 on Mon, 7 Nov 2005 23:11:01 -0600
My only suggestion and this MAY be a by product of the MP3
compression
, but if it isn't, I would EQ some of the highs off the strings on the right
channel...Its a little too bright and tips-off the software
instrumentation..Aside for that you did a brilliant job that, I'm sure,
required lots of work to attain...Peace to you, Digitalnirvana9

Excellent sound
Authored by: John Stebbe on Tue, 8 Nov 2005 13:02:58 -0600
What a great "synth" orchestra sound! And it sounds authentic. You
have to listen for a long time to get the idea that the orchestra is
virtual. Obviously Scotty has spent many an hour experimenting with
virtual orchestra sounds, to the benefit of MacJammers everywhere.
Thanks for this gift.

You've created a wonderful balance with all the instrument sounds -
which makes this an incredibly rich sounding piece. Fantastic job!

Scotty, I have enjoyed listening to this piece evolve over the past
month. I know how difficult it can be to get the 'sound' you have
achieved here. Excellent. Thanks again for letting us include it on
"Splendor Bright."

impressive! i`m new on macjams and didn`t expect to find a piece of
Corelli. Nothing like classic to understand the impact of music in our
minds and souls.
again congrats for the rendering of the piece.

I am very new on creating music with garageband and i have no idea how
a piece like this is created. I only know that it sounds great and very much
in balance.

Wow, excellent Scotty. What a great listen! I think the strings sound excellent; the harpsichord has a nice sound, but could use a stronger more percussive attack. Well, that's my ears, maybe that wouldn't mix with the flowing of the strings. Anyway, I love it.

Excellent. Everything is just right. So good!

Really like how the cello and bass (I think) gets powerful at times. Very,
very nice. I think scott has a flair for that effect and really makes the
sound professionally done. Puts the finishing touches just in the right
places. Love this type of music.
