Yes, the link works and I enjoyed listening. Maybe the first attempt at a classical composition I`ve heard here.
Nice interplay of instruments, especially on the energetic playful sections.
It would be good to post more info about how you created this.

Robert,

Thanks for taking the time to listen/review my first posting being a classical composition.

That's good advice to provide info as to how I create my compositions.

This composition took me a long time ( 6+ months ) and so many details and huge struggles and frustrations with the Mac 2018 Band are buried in this old foggy head. I will have to set up a system here to keep track on what i did.

w,

That is impressive!

A very pleasant listen. Moves well, keeps the ear engaged. Well mixed.

Unlike anything I've heard done with BIAB, for sure.

Enjoyed that.

fj and Graham............

Thank you for your supportive comments because they will help me to finish my work on another composition that's in the works .

At the moment I'm working on a " cover song " Somewhere In The Night - a ballad written by Richard Kerr and lyricist Will Jennings which was a US Top 20 hit for both Helen Reddy and Barry Manilow in the 70's.

Fully agree with Scott. I think he summed it up perfectly. You are a talented composer. Tip of the hat for a great production.

Hello, w

Great composition!
Full orchestration is dazzling.
I am also very interested in classical composing, but I have many problems with my composition skills.
I tried several times, but I have not finished my work yet.
I am jealous of you.
Really beautiful work!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi, w:

Wow, incredibly well done! Others have nailed it--great background music for an animated short or film. But that aside, this is a complex production, beautifully executed. Awesome work!

All the best,

Deej

Wow - you nailed this! It sound so full and epic. I can imagine this sounding perfect in a movie or a video game. It is so cinematic and animated. The multiple courses it takes too keep it sounding fresh the whole way through.

Not a thing I'd change here - thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

Wow, this song has a really magical feel to it! We don't get to hear much in the way of classical styles around the User Showcase, so thanks so much for showing it off!


Cheers,

I agree with Al. This is pretty stunning.

SO many ways it could be used in film.

Extremely impressive.

Wanna give us some background on how you did this?

I am totally fascinated.
