Hi all,

I am new to this forum. I had composed a simple melody and made it a full song by using BIAB. The title of the song is "Harmony in my heart" because the melody came out of my heart so naturally and smoothly.

I think its genre is Orchestral Pop.

https://soundcloud.com/hirokata1121/harmony-in-my-heart

The melody track is from me and all the rest are from BIAB. The styles used are as follows.

From measure 1 to 34: 128ORK.STY
From measure 35 to 66: ARPEGGIO.STY
From measure 67 to 82: CAREY128.STY

After completed the song by BIAB, I transferred it to Sonar X3 and made some more arrangement such as;

assignment of five different instruments out of Rapture Pro to the melody track,

assignment of Rapture Pro instruments to all the other MIDI tracks.

I hope you like the song and please give me any feedback if you think it deserves.

Note: This song was originally posted to 'muzie' (Japanese site). I have made significant enhancement to it and posted it to 'Songcloud' so that I can make it available outside Japan.

Welcome to the neighborhood HiroshiK

A very peaceful, tranquil melody, with perfect builds throughout.

Hi Sonny,

Thank you for your comment and encouragement. I am glad that you enjoyed my song and like my way of using multiple styles in a song.

I have another song that I would like to post to this forum, but it needs further tuning. I hope I could finish it and post within next month (December).

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed my music a lot. I organized it in such a way that it starts calmly like classical music, adds energy gradually, and ends like pop music with full energy. I am very pleased with your comment.
