Hi Here is High and Lifted Up,

https://soundcloud.com/user-219964721/high-and-lifted-up-hugh-mcdonagh-2019

Its mainly BIAB MIDI In Classical Style.
I used with thanks Spitfire Audio "Free" VSTi for the most part with Arturia making up most of the end of the song.
This is the link to LABS and fair play to them for producing and giving away such great sounding virtual instruments
https://www.spitfireaudio.com/labs/
I mixed it in Reaper and mastered it with OZONE 8

I hope this song lifts you up to an elevated position !enjoy Hugh

Hi Hugh,

I like some of the melody elements / motives in your composition. Very soothing to listen to.

The free Spitfire stuff is well made - I agree!

Thanks a lot for sharing!
Will

Hugh,
a very pleasant listen though I'd not be inclined to call it modern classical.
The ebb and flow is more like an orchestrated ambient track.


Cheers

Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to have a listen,
Ambient ,building ,cinematic ,floaty is what I hoped it would be,so great to hear you liked it.Ray I guess modern classical is a complete contradiction in terms lol !
I was constantly thinking of it getting higher and higher and I was also trying to measure the audience interest level ,trying to bring something new along every few bars.
Would like to buy Spitfire in the future ,Thanks again Hugh

No, not really - there is a huge amount of work out there in the classical frame made in the 20th & 21st centuries. The term covers a massive range of styles, structures, orchestra types etc. and you could pprobably pop yourself into it but orchestral ambient is what it is - more or less.
This is a snippet of my current favourite "modern classical"

Wow - this is gorgeous smile Definitely has a cinematic feeling to it. I can imagine it definitely sounding right in place as part of a movie soundtrack. It is calming and epic and pretty all at the same time. The ebb and flow of it fantastic.

Great work and thanks for sharing!

Beautiful, relaxing, emotional… very nice buildup. Like a wake-up song to a sunny morning after a stormy night.
