It feels like I can almost see an incredible 1850 type dance scene here with your wonderful arrangement and I do mean wonderful.

You provide in my opinion some of the very best most uplifting music I've heard here. Probably said that before but hearing this I wanna say this again.

You obtain such magnificent time period music it is amazing. So full sounding and orchestral in a grand way. Plus the time period images, are so appropriate.

To me one of the most exciting things this has provided is amazing talent like you. How privileged we are to have this here. Especially in a world that doesn't seem to want to go back in music history and grab a hold of what people enjoyed in those precious times. It helps bring back their joy, there hopes and dreams.

Plus polkas are some of my favorite rhythms and uplifting dances!. Because as a kid of about 11 I went to a barn dance on a regular basis and saw and heard the job of polkas.

Way to go MO!

and tempos are perfect. I could almost feel a breeze as the dancers swirled past me across the floor. Never was learning about music so much fun. Wonderful Scotty. Just wonderful.

This piece is a wonderful reminder of some fabulous music. Thank you again for another fascinating piece of music history.

BTW, while listening to the ending, I was reminded of Sousa. I wonder if he was influenced by the music of Foster?

God bless,

Delightful re-orchestration and good recording here. The mix sounds quite good, possibly almost tooo much reverb (making it slightly muddy), but pretty darned good sounding! As usual, I detect a lot of care in tweaking instrumentation/dynamics here, sounds very realistic. Love the ritardandos here and there, and the information on the polka! Awesome work, and great choice of music.

Quite a gem. To me this is an example of the finest interpretive musicianship. There is a creativity here that is equivalent to the composers. Amazing!
