Description:
Angels We have Heard on High, Done with Reason 4 and Sonar 7.

Exported to Audio Format via Reason.

I am not allowing Garageband or any of the garageband family of products near my audio workings.

Lyrics:
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.

Refrain

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Refrain

Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Refrain

See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.

Refrain

wow &mdash 12/22/07 - 11:05:06 AM
this was an unexpected surprise. Such a nice arrangement.
And to think I only see one fan. This is really a gem.

The feeling that you achieve here is unlike I've ever heard before.

Asounding to say the list, your choice of piano chords and leads are stellar in a very pop way.
Wow, what a surprise to me. Way to go Spannerotoole!
Way to go!

A very satisfying compostion.Would be a great backdrop for a good singer too,but works on its own too.Whats up with Garageband? I dont use it myself purely cos I cant afford to upgrade but its pretty good from what Ive seen.

Cheers - RG

The Problem with Garageband &mdash 12/25/07 - 09:27:57 AM
I lost this one in garageband due to a system crash and had to start reworking it again.

I now use reason, and Sonar 7 in windows via Parallels.

OS 10.5 does not yet seem stable enough to do multimedia on

My main box is Studio 64 which runs on linux as a base, the mac is there just for messing on, see how things come out, sometimes they come out nice, sometimes, not so nice.

The Studio 64 Box (which is a 64 Bit OS) is there as a High Definition Audio (M-Audio Based Card) Recorder, I'm not paying good money for an OS to do HD Records

I may try Logic 8 when it comes out. Some Kind soul bought me the Jam Packs for it, so I guess I'll have to get it. (GarageBand '08 not yet stable enough for me, I Consider it to be in Public Beta for the moment.)

That said, My Reason/Sonar Combo Seems to be working out just fine. To record to wav, I use a Program Called Audacity, It's free and it's good, It's a wave editor, (like cooledit or Soundforge) but it's free and used in some studios to record the actual sound. Remember, it's the hardware that makes a difference

To Clarify &mdash 12/25/07 - 09:32:00 AM
Mac is used for composing, Studio64 Used to Master.

GB is just a tool &mdash 12/25/07 - 11:07:37 AM
But whatever works for you...

Nice arrangement. What is the plucky sound? It sounds like you're using that sample in some ranges where it's not exactly supposed to be used.

But the whole things sounds good together.

The Plucky Sound &mdash 12/26/07 - 01:35:30 AM
Is a Slightly Distorted Bright Piano.

It is an experimental piece but seems to be well received on macjams.

There are a couple of plucky sounds, the other is a Celtic Harp
