Noel Adams and I spent a year working with the Berlin Philharmoniker* to produce this MeisterWerk based on his libretto "Deciduous Love." Good luck to anyone else who enters the contest. https://soundcloud.com/davidsfilmmusic/mein-baum-ist-uber-allesHowever, a teenager did our song 10 years ago!! On YouTube!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NReZtHcCUrgA Meisterwerk by Sir Noel Adams and Sir David Snyder, titled Mein Baum Ist Uber Alles, or "My Tree is the Best"--sometimes referred to in the secular canon as "Deciduous Love." Ranked among the best loved new symphonic works among the Germanic people. Libretto by Sir Noel Adams, Music by Sir David. MEIN BAUM IST UBER ALLES (English Title: Deciduous Love) By Sir Noel Adams and Sir David Snyder [Verse] Lost and lonely autumn leaves My only friends tonight We're tumbling headlong down a road going nowhere Forgetting once we had a happy life [Pre-chorus] All alone, where cold winds blow Don't we deserve a home? [Chorus] Deciduous love Deciduous love Lives for summer sun But where does it go when summer is done? [Verse] I remember back in springtime The new beginnings were good Then summer shone and love grew strong as days got longer I was invincible and self-assured [Pre-chorus] But seasons changed, blue turned grey Then came autumn's blade [Chorus] Deciduous love Deciduous love Lives for summer sun Leaves when summer is done [Bridge] Maybe one day I'm hoping one day Summer will never go away Finale: Mein Baum ist über alles Mein Baum ist immer grün! Mein Baum ist über alles Das ist nicht Deciduous!! Mein Baum ist über alles Mein Baum ist immer grün! Mein Baum ist über alles Das ist nicht Deciduous!! by Noel Adams and David Snyder David Snyder Conductor For Bookings contact the Berlin Conservatory of MeisterWerks * in a dreaming fugue state

David, Between bouts of laughing so much I hurt, I had to pinch myself! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This is INCREDIBLE...  You and your philharmonik are nothing short of astounding. I sat here enthralled, speechless, laughing, and TOTALLY, TOTALLY entertained. In all honesty, I've never enjoyed anything I've written as much as I enjoyed listening to your work. Brilliant! Thank you for a truly unique and wonderful listening experience. All the best, Noel P.S. With an imagination like yours, you must be quite dangerous at times! P.P.S. Fancy someone else using this title!!! I started these lyrics back in 2012. Even then the title was old it seems!

Hello, David
Bravo, Maestro!
Not only a wonderful composer but also a wonderful conductor, and additionally a wonderful vocalist.
The orchestra is very nice.
The song is transient, expressing deeply the contents of Noel's lyrics.
I was so sorry that the tickets was sold out and I could not enter the venue.
But I'm very happy to listen to the live recording on the day.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

I had a thought that perhaps a mouth organ solo and change of name to Philharmonika would be cute but I listened again & it doesn't need anything to add humour or depth.
Cheers

Sir David, I see you have put forth such a work as to bring rise of ear to all the land. I do say; the likes of which my ear hath not heard before.
The two of you have bestowed upon us such lyric, rhythm and melody as to create in the fairer of us a weakness at the knees.
The origins of your soul have given birth to this most incredible of works. For that, I truly commend you.
Rock-eth on my good man.
Chad (Hope that makes it easier)

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
