This is really cool.
What instrument is the melody being played on and from which library (Garritan, etc.)?
Very interesting.

Thanks David...I don't have alot of fancy sampled products, so I usually double or triple the midi sounds onto a single channel...in this case, I combined piano, oboe, and marimba to get that sound.

Very nice!. We enjoy almost all genres of music but so seldom hear a reel. This is very nice reminder of the genre. We read your reply to David about the mix of instruments you used to get the lead sound. Never would have thought about mixing those three - but it sounds great! Nice work!

Hello, Tom
Nice Polka! You write songs of all genres. I think you are a man of many talents. I thought that your characteristics were appearing in the bridge melody. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Hi A&D, Shigeki, Scott..thanks for taking a listen..
Alan: I think I started with the piano on the melody, then decided I needed both a softer (wind) component, then a percussive...I added the marimba because I'm sure that I hear it quite often on orchestral movie scores when that slight percussive element is needed to add some volume to the melody line. Just experimented with different combinations of sounds until I was (somewhat) happy..still sounds a bit 'bright', but I've decided to leave it as is.

This might be the first reel posted...heard some Celtic reel RT's before on the forum but this is the real deal (awful pun).
That was 1:11 of fun!
And very interesting how you combined those tracks.

Tano,
I came close to commenting on this last night, but hesitated. I think it's wonderful-- it reminded me of a soundtrack that would accompany an animated (think Disney) cartoon or other animated short--backing to a sweet, cute dancing number. But I wasn't sure that's what you intended. Anyway, I enjoyed it a lot for that reason. It made me smile.
All the best,
Deej

Cool musical score type of thing!! I could see a really playful seen with a couple doing silly things, pranking each other, or maybe a sped up physical comedy scene. Really well done!! Take care. Greg

Nice work Tano It's got a great groove, and a really playful mood to it. It is certainly thematic. I can imagine it being part of a musical. Good job and thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

Thanks all... As I mentioned, I envisioned this being used as background music for a period-type movie, maybe from the 1800s, where there was a formal ball or dance occurring.

Sounds like you really had fun working with this piece, Tano! I definitely see what you're saying with envisioning it being in a period piece. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Ember
