This is an orchestral work I composed using Band in a Box to generate the Harp line and the bass line. The style used was EMERALD.STY. I chose my chord progression and used BiaB to create the background. I then took it to my Composition program (MakeMusic Finale) and added strings, brass, woodwinds, chorus and orchestral percussion. No parts were performed by me. Every instrument was generated by either BiaB or MakeMusic Finale using the Garritan Aria Engine. I am not sure if this is the correct forum to place this work since it goes well beyond using just BiaB, but I thought I would share it with this community. The piece was inspired by the recent SpaceX launch of 2 Americans Astronauts from American soil to the International Space Station.

Certainly a very interesting and enjoyable orchestral piece.

It has a very slow build, but I do understand that this is the entire intention.

The triplets gave interest.

Very well done.

First this is the forum to post as you did use BiaB. Some of my songs only use a track or two from BiaB.

This is an excellent orchestral piece of music. Very well laid out and the mix was spot on.

You should do more of these!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Thanks for the comments. My wife suggests I should write a novel to go with this music. I do have 4 other novels that I have composed music for.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
