Mr. Brooks...
I think your "Winter's Song" is an affecting, symphonically satisfying piece of seasonally-themed music. All of the instruments coalesce in a lush, brooding, but harmonically enriching way. Structurally speaking, the song moves in and out of light and darkness in a truly grand, even epic fashion. There are also some chordal constructions here that are startling in the way they color the sound of the orchestra.
You are releasing some really interesting compositions here, lately. You've certainly got me following you!
Through your musical soul,
LOREN

Wow - what a gorgeous tune Definitely has that wintery vibe. I love how lush and vibrant it is. The textures are stunning and icy, and I thought the progressions on this were great too. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

This song definitely has a very wintery feel to it. Even if the song didn't have the "Winter Song" title I would definitely know this was an instrumental with winter as inspiration.
Thanks for taking the time to share!
Cheers, Ember

Hello Dave, This sounds so fresh! Love how lush the string sections sound and the overall progression on this. The mix sounds very well balanced too. Well done!
Cheers, Joe

I really like the way the violins come in, sort of...out of the cold. Really enjoyable.

Hi Dave,
I love the chord progression. Very beautiful soundscapes that you are creating.
I hear some sort of "white noise" on top of the strings. Is that deliberately? Maybe it is just my speakers...
Thanks for sharing such a great tune! Will

Hi Will!
Thanks for listening! I don't remember hearing any "white noise" on top of the strings, but I' go back and listen again.
I think your ears are younger than mine so you could be right. Now, from time to time, I've been known to add a taste of distortion to help the track cut through the other instruments, but I will investigate...
Thanks again, Dave

Hi Will! Well I took a re-listen, and didn't find any "white noise" as you believed. Maybe I had my High pass filters set a bit high, but by listening again, I came up with a new mix fix. You are now sitting "in" the orchestra!!! =D Let me know what you think!!! All the best, Dave https://soundcloud.com/davebrooksmusicfactor/winters-song

Well.. the first link didn't work so I went to the second link (your profile), but that is a 10 months old version of the song... still very beautiful though!

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."
