Our Father

This is a song my buddy Chris Werle and I wrote a while back, which is our take on The Lord's Prayer. I've been wanting to arrange/orchestrate this for awhile, but life and time kept putting it on the back burner. I decided to go ahead do it for the XTRA Styles #5 contest, since I found a style I really liked for it in the Styles Pak.

Style used: _EMINENT
Category: Country Christian, RealTracks and MIDI

Composer: Christopher P. Werle and John E. Ford

I also used a lot of features from BIAB and RealBand in the process of creating the file. The song was originally done in BIAB. The trumpet and trombone parts were both created using the BIAB MIDI soloist feature. The instrumental melody part was imported into BIAB from a MIDI file which was originally created in Noteworthy Composer, then exported from there.

From there, I moved it to RealBand, where I assigned the VSTi's, applied various effects (both destructive and non-destructive) to the tracks. But it's mostly pretty straight, mainly achieved by some slicing and dicing of parts. I would have liked to have more time to work on it, but that's all I've got right now, as work is ramping up and I'm getting ready for a 2-week vacation the end of this month. Lots of non-music stuff to do.

The style I used was _EMINENT, which consists of:

  • 2937 Bass Fretless Electric
  • 1875 Mendolin, Soloist
  • 2914 Guitar, Acoustic Fingerpick
  • 1118 Guitar, Acoustic Fingerpick
  • RealDrums Americana Roots 16th


I ended up not using 1118, but I did use add the following additional RealTracks:

  • 2051 Guitar, Acoustic Fingerpick (generated on two tracks)
  • 2334 String Quartet Rhythm
  • 2291 Horn Section Rhythm


For the MIDI tracks, I used the following Kontakt based instruments:

  • Trumpet - Indiginus Blue Street Brass (1920's Trumpet 2, Lite Vibrato)
  • Trombone - Indiginus Blue Street Brass (1908 Trombone)
  • Flute melody - Auditory Labs RealFlute


Chris Werle sings the vocal part.

Enjoy!
