Thanks Thank you, I am glad you liked it. As far as hardware I have a Powerbook G4 512 MB SDRAM 867 MHz (I really should upgrade) and I am using Garageband 2 with Jam Pack 4: Symphony Orchestra. If you are composing classical music Jam Pack 4 is a godsend. I could not ask for anything better. Well, I could, but you get what I mean. Check out my latest song called Giving Up (Instrumental)

orchestral lust Darn it, I was hoping not to lust after JP4, but if that's what it sounds like, I may have to save my money... Those are some rather good sounding samples, and orchestral instruments are what I mostly tinker with. ttfn, Drakonis --- deja vu, it's the next best thing to being there Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

THIS is great! I listened to your other submission a few moments ago, and immediately noticed how well you orchestrate for band, but the piece needed more development.... Now there's THIS piece, which has all the necessary ingredients which were missing in the other! Your orchestration here is very good, and you developed the themes nicely, even varying the tempo in spots. The percussion did sound a bit far away, and also a bit late in spots....just lagging just a tad behind the brass. I noticed this especially when you used the bells. The repeated running eighth-note theme at the very end didn't seem to fit the earlier material, and also came too late to really tie in with the rest. I am VERY curious to know if you have transcribed this piece in a notation software program. (Of course, GB 2 does this to a certain extent.) I really do think this piece SHOULD be performed live. Please e-mail me about this, let's talk! The only instrument I would change here is the flute, which seems like a rather lonely woodwind in the midst of the brass. Make it an all-brass band with percussion. I'm grateful to hear that JamPack 4 has such great brass sounds! Check out my latest song called EPONYM

musical naming what an interesting name our mother has. was she named after someone, something? is that name in the family? what did she think about such a name, did it affect her personality in some way? i really like that name. do you pronounce it de-VARE-so? very cool. Check out my latest song called Rock The Baby With Voodoo (w/Tobin)

Wow! That's quite classical! A full orchestra pumping away on those drums and horns. I'd have to say, you've presented some of the more convincing midi horns on this site. They don't pop out, slapping me in the face with their synthetic flavor. Feels like it could go right in a parade in the old west, endearing! Check out my latest song called With You

Hey, this is a nice arrangement, and pretty darned good
sounding instruments too... what are you using for
software/hardware? This reminds me a little of Holst's
Suites #1 & 2 for band, which I played (long ago) in High
School marching band. I like it!
ttfn,
Drakonis
