Aaron Copland meets Paul Yoder Wow. What a great little piece. I kept thinking, while listening, that this is something my daughter's middle school band might be able to tackle. It would have to be orchestrated differently, of course, for wind instruments. But this is something a young band would love to perform. A crowd pleaser. Reminds me of Paul Yoder, a band music composer who sometimes wrote sound effects (including a real fire engine) into his pieces. Check out my latest song called Keep Looking for Jesus (MJRF)

a delight! I really like the playfulness of this! It's inspiring, as I am looking for my Jam Pack 4 copy to arrive from Amazon, so maybe I might tackle something in this vein myself sometime. But maybe I don't want to spend 15 hours....mmmm....can I borrow your composition skills? Seriously, this is awesome! Check out my latest song called Weather or Not w/awigze

Cowpie, me favorite! heehee, this was very cute and upbeat. But it was also very well written, orchestrated, and produced. You did a wonderful job choosing instruments & balancing timbres, nice and clean sounding! And yes, it is Copeland'esque. Well done! ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

you must like henry mancini. Baby elephant walk, or pink panther inspired? Very loony tunes-ee. Nice job with the loops. Sometimes they just click so good don't they? Fun. Check out my latest song called Five Pound Samwitch

you must like henry mancini. Loops? I rather think not. Heck, everybody likes Henry Mancini. What I'd say is more along the lines of, "You must like being so talented." You certainly are, Daphna. Check out my latest song called Just As It Is

City Slickers... soundtrack! Seriously, this sounds like it is production ready as a film score. Awesome composition skills on display! Thx D. |

Wonderful production! Was this done using that new Jam Pack? Seems like the instruments in it are a definite step up from your average orchestra stock in GB... that is, if it is the Jam Pack, if not... how DO you do it!? :) Happy, light hearted piece with that touch of country humour. I dig it. Does remind me of City Slickers, but then again, I'm pretty sure that soundtrack would remind of previous ones as well. Check out my latest song called With You

Wonderful production! thanks packosmokes. What I used was the Silver Orchestral library that you get with Sibelius. But I'm also looking forward to getting Jampack4 and check it out. Check out my latest song called I Love My Mac mjrf

in the great tradition... ...of the film scores of the old westerns from the '40s and '50s -- with a little bit of Steiner, Newman, Elfman and Rachel Portman thrown in. This is a very lighthearted, facile piece with vivid tone colors, very "American" sounding. You captured the "south-of-(your)-border" western flavor very well! I'm very interested in how you worked with the Sibelius sounds in GarageBand. Did the sounds play through a MIDI keyboard, into GB? Or did you convert the Sibelius files into mp3? As a user of Sibelius myself, I am definitely curious. Great job on this, daphna! Check out my latest song called EPONYM

nice. I definitely got a Randy Newman "Toy Story" - esque feel from this...but that probably has more to do with the playful subject matter than anything else. Good stuff! Check out my latest song called Story of Her Life

Whimsical and classy Sounds like something from a musical. "I am Farmer Joe and my pants are on fire so get the wooden pail and dance with me!" |

I like the playfulness and arrangement to this. I feel I was
in some western comedy.
