Well, I made several changes in the orchestration and recorded a live trumpet player as well. (It's amazing how loud a trumpet can be in your living room.)Anyway, I hope it sounds better than the original version.www.richardemmet.com/SilentNight.mp3Richard

Hey Remmet, this is just gorgeous! Your strings sound FAB - are you sure you didn't pull in the whole NY Phil ...? They sound very real to me. What are you using?Well, I will have to try that too - did you just find a trumpet player hanging around on a street corner??? Takes me months to organize to get a live player... Hats off to you! Hope you get a deal with this - it's deserving!Georgie

Hope you get a deal with this - it's deserving!GeorgieThanks Geoff and Georgie,I'm lucky to know a good trumpet player (Lewis Livermore is his name) who lives nearby. I called him on Friday and he came over on Saturday afternoon. The first 7 notes of his melody were played on flugelhorn, the last 7 notes on trumpet. I'm realizing that it's a challenge to record a live player in your living room and make it fit with the ambience of the sampled orchestra. I used a long and thick reverb from Reaktor on the trumpet, but I'm not 100% satisfied that the blending is perfect. Maybe a convolution reverb would work better, but I don't have one at this point.The strings (and the rest of the sampled orchestra) are from EWQLSO Platinum XP-Pro.Richard

Really wonderful arrangement!!! The only things I could suggest are to put a little vibrato on the flutes and bring out the chime in that section.Beautiful job!!Kitz

I revised it once more, this time to help prepare the trumpet entrance and to fix or add a couple of other small details. Maybe I should title this "Endless Night" instead of Silent Night. Same link.Richard
