Thanx to all of the suggestions that I received I have what I believe to be the final version. I added more reverb to the English horn and French horn and I moved the final timpani and gong so the last chord ends the song.

I like this version the best - thanx for all of your help.

Super Moon

The original post data:

You are on vacation/holiday, laying on the beach watching the super moon slowly rise above the ocean horizon.

The style I used was Orchestral 9/8. I deleted the drum and French Horn parts. The string pad parts are verbatim from BiaB. The acoustic bass was changed to a double bass.

I am playing the English horn, vocal pad lead, French horn, and the string melody on my wind controller. I wrote the drum parts.

What do you think?


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

That is really a production! A great soundtrack to the scene you describe. I think the remix worked well and I liked the French horn section which lifted it well and then of course the timpani taking it even further. Well done.

Hi Mario,

Wow! That was some listen. I love the way you increased the emotional intensity as the music developed. Very creative work (but then aren't all your creations painted with this brush)! This is a terrific soundscape.

Regards,
Noel

Mario,

That sounds great. The combination of strings and horns is terrific.
The drum parts are cool!

A great listen.

Mario,

Great music, listening to this the only thing that was missing was part of a movie that this song was the soundtrack for, the movie scenes that might fit it kept playing away in my head, something towards the climax of a film I think would do.

Great music Mario and well arranged

Strangely, I hear strains of "Laura's Theme" (Somewhere My Love) from Dr Zhivago trying to sneak in. Howjadothat?

Seriously, a wonderful piece, old friend, I loved it, start to finish.

I enjoyed the earlier version and this one is even better I especially love when it goes into the swell and starts to just soar.

Great job Mario.

Nice work.

I like classical sounding things. It takes me back to my earliest days when I was taking piano lessons. We were always learning things by the masters.
