Nice one wig! But it's a little too calm for the way it's gonna be at my house in a few hours!Happy Thanksgiving!

Wig,I really like this!!! After the 4th listen the only thing I can notice is the snare might come up just a tiny bit and the bottom end might need a little more umph. I love the way it moves and it's majesty. My son Chris says "that's a nice song and he also said sounds awesome."Like I asked - how hard would it be to get a local orchestra to do this in real time? I guess it would be a pain to score but hey!!! - Midi instruments are doing great for what it is but MAN CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD SOUND LIKE WITH REAL INSTRUMENTS??Kitz

Thanks, Bill Kitz and Warren. Hope you had good Thanksgiving dinners. Mine was excellent. Everything was super.I'd like to write the score the piece and have real instruments play it, but I'm not sure I could get our local orchestra interested.I wish I did this in midi because the score could be printed out easily. Maybe I can redo it in midi. I played all the parts in straight audio.When I return to this, I'll bring up the snare and maybe add a bit more bottom.Thanks for the listen, Wig

Hello Wig,Nice piece and a good arrangement. One thing I would like to hear (aside from mix adjustments) is add some timpani beats with the marching snare. At the end of each snare passage, (the roll specifically) play 4 16th notes on the timpani to accent/highlight each snare passage. This I think will also add to the crescendo your building into the next passage.I really enjoy the snare drum and I think the timpani's can really help highlight this piece.Nice uplifting melodies.M~
