The Fairies' Waltz

When the fairies crown a new queen they get very serious about it. The royal composer must compose a new waltz for the new queen. The royal choir flaps their wings creating various pitches sounding much like human humming. This is the waltz for the new crowned queen.

BiaB style = Waltz Soft - Slow Smooth Waltz
Tempo - 60 BPM

I deleted the drums and modified the string, bass, and guitar tracks.

Strings - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter's Virtuoso Strings and Amadeus - Full String Ensemble
Bass - Kontakt - Amadeus - Full String Ensemble
Guitar - Kontakt - Pure Jazz Vibes
Piano - EZKeys - Dream Machine - Mark VII Dreams
Utility - EastWest - Play - Full Choir
ME - Guitar
Via my keyboard controller - Kontakt - Amadeus - Cellos
Viola - Cellos 8via

Thanx Elliott. I did a lot of work on the BiaB string track so I'm glad that you liked it.

HI Mario ...

Elliott already said, pretty much, what I was going to say. Whatever you did to the strings, you aced it. They're so beautiful. The entire production just oozes warmth and satisfaction. Simply gorgeous!

Best to you ...

Alan

Thanx Alan. The effects on the strings are a touch of chorus and reverb. I read that adding a touch of chorus to strings can make a huge difference so I tried it. Yes, it did make a big difference.

The article also said it works on vocal and seeing as I need all of the help I can get on my vocals I will try it.

You (or they) seem to start with some sadness over the loss of the OLD queen. Man, you are so good at creating musical magic, Mario. Mario The Magical Music Man. Gotta love that alliteration. I wish I could play this for my 4 year-old granddaughter. We used to watch a lot of the fairy movies back then. Unfortunately she is 8 now and we won't see that 4-year-old part of her personality back for a few years yet. Mine, however, is in full bloom.

I played it twice just to hear how brilliantly you portrayed those wings building the song with each flap. Well done.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Soothing, calming and an all-is-well feeling in this song.
I can see her slowly becoming air borne as the flower petals open.
Great job.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Nothing to add that hasn't already been said: beautiful song with a really good arrangement (not just the strings).
Well done.

The royal choir hummed up a good one Mario.

And you with your skill on all those multi-faceted tracks took it to an ethereal and wonderful place.

I hope the newly crowned queen sends you adequate payment for a job well done!

Thanx so much Marty. Your "Mario The Magical Music Man" is much better than what my coworkers called my wedding band. That was Maestro Mario's Merry Music Makers"!

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."
