This is a new piece I made for string orchestra, done in EW Strings and some real violin overdubs. EW Spaces for reverb.
 
Hope you like it! Feel free to comment, but no - there will be no epic drums added...

No epic drums needed...

Sounded very good to me. If you hadn't of mentioned EW strings I'd have thought this was the real thing. I know there are real instruments added to this piece but I can't "see" the join...

Hello Sir,
 
Yes, I like this very much.
The name of the piece certainly matches the content.
 
Right off I had visions of a graduation scene, or a nuptial.  It is certainly very processional, to me.  This could easily be used for any of those occurrences.  The piece is consistent, has meaningful content, and emotes a feeling of accomplishment and promise.
 
I very much appreciate the fact that you played some live violin.  In a forum rife with nimble guitar practitioners, it is refreshing to hear an artist play a violin.
 
That was nice, I wish you the best in creating more pieces that render unto the listener the feeling you imbue.

Thanks for listening and commenting! The intention of overdubbing was to make it sound more realistic without getting the violins to stick out too much. Glad it worked!

Thanks Jesse for your thorough reply! I also can see the ceremonial picture. Glad you liked the violin play. I have a draft for a String orchestra suite where this one is the last of three parts, so maybe more will come later.

 Thanks mate, appreciate it!

I liked it very much. I like to have strings in my songs as well.
This music could be in a family drama film easily!
Nicely done!

Nice depth to the mix the basses are just making the room rumble in a pleasant way good stuff.

Thanks for sharing.
