This is a nostalgic piece that I felt was fitting for Thanksgiving here in the USA. This was inspired by a television news segment called Road Home. I thought that would be an excellent title for a song and came up with this piece.

The Style is from the Band in a Box Celtic Air style and the Viola is a RealTrack from Band in a Box.

Style: _CAIRPGS.sty
Bass - ~518
Piano - 2065 played by Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 Intimate D Piano
Drums - RealDrums BossaBrushes
Guitar - 1814
Strings - 2058 played by GPO5 muted strings
Viola - 2336 Viola, Background Pop Ev 085
Violin - Melody played by GPO5 violin solo instruments and sections combined

The strings melody was developed from the first four notes of the Violas RealTrack
melody.

I hope you enjoy The Road Home.

I have a remix version that you may be interested in hearing. It adds a little more reverb to the strings and thins out the players on the middle section bridge to just Piano, guitar, muted strings and Viola.

Very pretty Rich!! Feel matches the title and the picture. I would make the strings a bit wetter. Very nice job on this! Take care. Greg

Beautiful and emotive piece of music here, Rich. I could see this in a film, easily. Goes really well with the family-together, falling leaves, thankful for what you have holiday vibe.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
