To New Heights Hi Steve - wow, this is terrific orchestral work! E/W is certainly the gold standard - your trumpet sits in here beautifully - such a regal sound! love your use of snares and bells - you clearly have a gift for this kind of composing and i hope to hear much much more of it from you!

EastWest Gold Thanks, magnatone. I do like EastWest, it's very flexible (too flexible?). It has dozens of parameters I never touch. Sometimes it has too much reverb for me. Check out my latest song called To New Heights

Now, what a great surprise! I thoroughly enjoyed this composition. There's something heroic about it: The beginning of a quest or the backdrop for an arduous journey. Love it. Thanks. Check out my latest song called The Sea

To New Heights Thanks, Char. The powerful horn section gives that 'heroic' sound I like. If I didn't play trumpet, It'd be horn. Check out my latest song called To New Heights

Beautiful I like the way you build the tune and introduce the different elements. I especially like the crescendo and what follows around the 2 min mark. There's a lot happening, but the trumpet line remains the focus. Gentle ending. Much enjoyed. Check out my latest song called Close to Midnight w/ alackbass, rok41, paul f. page, & KyasheMusic

Quality... Hi Steve. Lovely confident opening that sets up the entrance of the trumpet. The dynamic middle section is quality listening and you do a great job bringing things back down to round the piece out. Like the instrumentation a lot. Much enjoyed. Regards, Peter.

intriguing Nice orchestration... good slow build, great crescendo, keeping things clear and distinct. The march coming out of the crescendo had almost a spaghetti western (Hugo Montenegro) feel (not a bad thing in my book.) Excellent trumpet work... more great music for me to study! ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Belle Aire (for Mandolin Orchestra)

Spaghetti western Spaghetti western...I didn't think of it at the time but you may be on to something. Believe me, it was unintentional. Thanks for your input. S. Check out my latest song called To New Heights

Beautiful Lovely music and well put together. It's obvious when the real instrument joins in as has been mentioned, but still this has been so well put together that the difference isn't jarring or painful to listen to as it can be. Great stuff. Check out my latest song called An Eventful Walk.

Hey Steve ... I enjoyed listening to this very much. You can tell when the real instrument enters but you have done a nice job of melting it together with the midi. I like the way you build it dynamically and then bring it back down into a gentle ending. Good composition.
