And now over to something completely different...
 
Here is a classical orchestrated "tune" I wrote in -99. This time I used the original arrangement to try to get a realistic orchestral sound with SONAR. We that don´t own our own symphonic orchestra have to do it this way.
 
I used:
- Dim Pro (with DSF symphonic strings HD)
- Sonatina symphonic orchestra (a great free softsynth! Should work with DimPro but I didn't understand how to so I used SFZ)
- Roland JV-2080 racksynth (had some some complementary sounds there for brass and strings)
- 4 takes (vln 1+2) with my violin to get a more realistic sound on the strings
 
Go listening and feel free to comment!

Sounds terrific, Lasse. Nice movement and great dynamics.

Super!  This is high quality programming and writing.  I enjoyed this very much.

Outstanding, and a shining example for us who aspire to write orchestral music.  I really loved this, and I don't usually love classical.  The melodies and counter-melodies were well conceived, and the performances sound beautiful and natural.  It does not sound "programmed" at all to me, although I admit I'm not an expert on classical music.  Really great!!

Enjoyed this piece. Nice work with the instrumentation and the mix is perfect. Very nicely done.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

James, Lynn, Walt and John: Thank you for taking time to listening and for your nice comment!

I love Orchestral work...very nice indeed!  The horns are fantastic!

This is brilliant; absolutely stunning.

Fantastic piece - it begs to be used in a movie! In fact, it reminds me of those classic soundtracks of some of the 80s adventure movies. For example the Goonies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWluEIx7mkI

Cclarry & Cabbitt: Thank you for your kind words!
 
3dmus: I love film music, and I remember thinking of John Williams style when writing this piece. Goonies is nice. I've always been impressed by the film music of Disneys 40-50s classic films. Everything that happens on the screen is hearable in the music. =)
