This is my new song which is a classical and orchestral work. It has a calm and soothing melody with beautiful sounds. It comprises five parts and five different instruments I chose carefully play them in turn.
As usual, my wife helped me a lot in deciding its title. She said it gave her an impression as if she were recollecting fond memories of her days gone by.

It took me longer time than usual because I had rebuilt the part of melody and done a lot of fine tuning work. Frankly I am satisfied with the result.

I sincerely hope more people would kindly listen to it and give me their feedback. Any advice would be especially welcome.

Really nice piece of music with the build up towards the end, great chord changes. smile
That 'ARPORK34.STY' style is stylish, I'm using it on composition at the moment.

Rob,

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed my new song. In many cases, I use the MIDI styles rather than the Real styles. This is especially true for classical tunes. It is partly because the number of the Real Styles is small for this category. Moreover, I can freely assign multiple instruments to a track just like I did for this song.

Brian,

Thank you for your encouraging comment. I am glad you like my song.

Yes, ARPORK34.STY is really good to use for the classical waltz. It changes its face as different sets of instruments are assigned.
