This is a makeover of a piece I posted last year. Unsatisfied with the earlier 'swing' style, there were very few 'even' alternatives in 3/4 time, but I managed to cobble something together. WALTZING THROUGH A DREAMBIAB STYLE: SOLEMN.STY ev8 3/4 The standard tracks that come with this style are 3288 & 3287. However, the structure of the composition requires arpeggios that adhere quite closely to the chords prescribed (e.g. a 'C'chord should have only the notes C E & G) and although Quinn Bachand plays these tracks very well, they just did not suit. I replaced them with: 3236:Guitar, Nylon Fingerpicking CelticAir Ev 085 (Rev 40) 362:Guitar, Acoustic Strumming, Ev 085 (Rev 70) Then I added 778:Bass, Acoustic, PopWaltz Ev 085 (B:energetic) (Rev 40) RealDrums=PopWaltzEven8^6 (Rev 40) I ran guitar1 through a NoiseAsh audio enhancer to give it more depth and body. Reason 11 sound sampling suite: Vibraphone; Acoustic Guitar; Symphonic Strings Alt; Concert Grand Piano; Oboe (via Korg K61p keyboard). Mixed with Audacity.

Ghostgum,
This is a really lovely work here! The soothing atmosphere of the song is perfect! I can really relate to wanting to re-do songs I've posted. It seems that almost everyone I post, I immediately start hearing things I wish I had done differently! Great job on this one! Take care, Torrey

Thanks, JAOM. When I began to compose this I started with the oboe piece (using a descant recorder). Using that as a base, I wrote two counter-melodies. The first is played by vibes in verse 1, then by strings in verse 2. Verse 2 introduces the 2nd counter-melody (piano). These are repeated in verse 3 along with the original melody. Last year's swing version clocked up 150 plays on SoundCloud (my busiest composition to date). We'll see how the current one goes.

This is a very peaceful and beautiful piece of music. Your instrumentation, dynamics, and mix are all spot on.
Two thumbs up!

The melodies work so well.
The slight build at around 2/3 in is nice.
We have a deep admiration for folks who can
both compose and put together a mix like this.
Most lovely!

Thanks J&B.
It's very satisfying when such simple melodies mesh well enough to make a coherent theme. At the time I composed this I was listening to a lot of music by the Norwegian/Irish duo Secret Garden. Their arrangements were brilliant.

I can’t recall if I heard this before . . . but it’s a lovely composition. So well balanced and mixed. Very pretty piece!
Kindest regards,

Nice composition, well thought-out and played. The oboe sample was okay, not the most convincing I've heard.

Thanks, Tunemonger. Can you point me in the right direction for a better oboe sample? I have looked at real ones - $5,000 + or about $275 a month.

Lovely melody! And the way the track builds does a great job of supporting it.
Well done, enjoyed.
