Mario,
A film score-like instrumental . . . with swells of emotion moving sadly through. Really like the choir in this--wonderfully done. I think you made a good choice deleting the drums and guitar tracks--I haven't hear them with those instruments, but I think they would be distracting in the mix . . . so good decision there. Lovely work.
All my best to you,
Deej

Simply masterful Mario.
You really know how to work that controller to express your creativity.
This does invoke the feeling of loneliness.
Great job.

As usual, another masterpiece from Mario. I agree with Deej, this has an absolutely lovely sound as is and I think taking the guitar and drums out was a good choice.

Great job. I have to work real hard to get those controllers to do what I want; I'm still a hacker at it. Thanx for listening and commenting, I appreciate it.

Brad Thanx Brad. Those two tracks distracted from what I had in my head so I dumped them. What the others said, Mario.

Some well strung stuff.
Sometimes I miss the expressiveness you achieve with your reed controller but this doesn't need the extra nudge.
Nicely done sir.
Cheers

Nicely done sir. Thanx Ray. I was just given another EWI-USB and if I can get it set up correctly I will be using it.

Mario, I can't even imagine this with drums and guitar. You definitely made the correct choice there. This is well put together and should be used in a film score. Nice work, Tom

In the mood of Adagio in G minor and Always On My Mind, this great artwork describes perfectly the feeling of a lonely soul. Excellent arrangement, those angelic voices describe the crowd, at least in my thoughts. The solo violins sounded extremely beautiful. I admire your ability to create strong emotions from simple elements.

Janne Janne, thanx so much for the wonderful review. I'm not so sure about the great artwork statement but I do appreciate the comment.

Beautiful film score with a nice melody.
I think you've found your style for this genre, I really enjoyed listening to it.
From the mix, the strings sound a bit right-heavy, I'd probably pan the violin to the left (that's where it belongs anyway) and the viola to the right to get the foundation more balanced.
But otherwise it's a pretty good mix.

Really beautiful music Mario.
Would be a good soundtrack.
It brings "Conquest of Paradise" by Vangelis to my mind.
Meant as a compliment!

"Me via my MIDI keyboard controller"
There's a heckuva lot of talent packed in that sentence!
"Excellent arrangement, those angelic voices describe the crowd"
Could not express it better than Janne.
The sound is epic, huge on our monitors yet it is full of subtleties that send you back for another listen.
Wow,
J&B

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."
