Hi All,

This is the instrumental version of "Visiting Beautiful Kyoto". I replaced the Japanese vocal with the oboe and clarinet plays. The song was a Japanese song, but it now becomes an international song. I therefore changed its title as well.

https://soundcloud.com/hirokata1121/visiting-beautiful-city

I hope you like it.

*** Song Summary ***
First part (Strings):
Key=C, Tempo 80
Style: PNOMOOD2.STY (PianoMood2 -Gentle Soundtrack st)
Second part (Oboe and Clarinet):
Key=A, Tempo 80
Style: ARPORK34.STY (Orchestral arpeggio 3/4)

Sonar X3 was used for assignment of VSTi instruments to MIDI tracks and final tuning of the song.

I really like this - a very haunting melody... The oboe / clarinet are a great combination. Great work!

Very well done Hiroshik, another very well-balanced classical piece.
Actually, I am kind of curious how this would sound with vocals
