Skating, a tone poem

Skating is a full-orchestra work, the second movement of my Three Winter Scenes suite. This version was done in Sonar 8.5, using only Track, Event and Staff Views. Sounds are from Garritan, EWQLSO Gold, Vienna Sp. Ed. 1, and Cinematic Strings2. Also, I use several Dim Pro sounds, as well as one from TTS1 (tuba). One reason I am posting it is so people can appreciate what can be done working in staff view. (There is currently a debate about SV and improving it). I work almost exclusively in staff view. So it is valuable, and IMO should not continue to be neglected in updates. Thanks for listening.

Yes, I got the same result. I guess Dropbox doesn't work well for this. I guess I need to rethink this.
By the way, can I delete this thread myself, or does admin have to do it?

Thanks, actually I am already on Composers forum (in fact I'm an admin). I just opened a Box account and am uploading. I will paste in that link and remove the old one and hopefully that will work.

Beautiful. Glad you were unable to delete it!

Now that was worth the wait, sounds very nice here I may come back and do a download.
 
Thanks for persevering and for sharing.

This is a nice journey. I can see Snoopy and Marcie, I'm pretty sure it's Marcie, doing a routine on the frozen lake.
 
My only crit would be to use more dynamics.
 
Excellent work!

I like this a lot.  I don't listen much to orchestral tunes any more but well into my teens I listened to the classical stations, while I was playing rock and roll for a living.  That seems odd but I liked it.  I have thought of getting into a piece and trying to do orchestration but the older I get the more I just do what I know.  This is quite interesting and I listened to the whole 7 + minutes.  I usually lose interest before that.  So, kudos.
