We must be close in age; I am 75. I did remember Can't Get Use to Losing You and well as Cilla Black. Remember the "101 Strings Orchestra"? They did some amazing music.

Teunis makes a good point in that in order to get the absolute best sounds you need to spend more money. Unfortunately most of them are out of my price range.

I guess your next step is to make a decision on what to buy. Personally I think the Kontakt Player and Amadeus is a good place to start. Amadeus does have key switches for various articulations. The initial cost is $149 USD but for the cost you get some good sounding orchestra sounds IMHO.

If need be you can also purchase a book on orchestration, google/bing MIDI orchestration.

I hope this helps and good luck.

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport, the terminal?
