Help needed on short term..

[PeterG]

Thanks mikexception.

Next question is: who has access to a great sound-database / virtual instruments and is willing to process the midi into something that sounds great? I must admit Finale + GPO isn't that good for this ensemble..

One day left, so let me know as soon as you can....
This also applies to comments on the new version..

Boneman: as you probably have noticed I did some tweaking, but want to express here that I really, REALLY appriciate what you've done already ! Thank you so much!


Thanks for all the help already,

Peter

All,

Attached is the latest version, including some error removal, adding dynamics and slurs etc.
The sound is from Finale GPO (still), but better..... I thought.

Is it worth entering into the contest?
If yes, I'm going to upload it tonight.

How about the glockenspiel; add it (a few tinkles) or leave it as it is?


Kind regards,

Peter

Peter - enter it - what can it hurt!

If you're concerned about your future reputation, you can always use a pseudonym :-).

I do miss the glock. Some, but not too much :-). Think nutmeg in your egg nog.

Oh yes! Peter - ALWAYS play through each of your parts individually - there's no better way to find things that might be funky that might otherwise be covered in combination. You also want to check important pairs or trios, etc. too. For example, if I have three parts doing accomp against a melody, I'll play that, but I'll also check each of the three accomp parts individually and as a whole (without the melody). If it's an outer voice pair and inner voice pair, I check the whole thing, and the pairs in addition to the individual line, and so on.

I once discovered I had asked a Bassoon to go ledger lines above the staff to ledger lines below the staff in one note - I missed it all the time because it was across a page turn in both the score and the parts (what a coincidence) - and I finally caught it when I played through the part individually!

Best,
Steve

Hi Steve,

But...... is it any good (now) ?

Peter

P.S. who cares about reputation... I'm having so much fun with it, even with the current time pressure.....

[PeterG]

Well,

It's out there now... it's done.

With a little nutmeg and a lot of Boneman's help. THANK YOU !

Now I'm hoping you will all go and play it over and over, and/or download it (it's a free download; christmas spirit told me to give stuff away), and vote it high into the rankings....
That is, if you like it of course.

If you happen to know a brass quintet looking for a piece to play for the upcoming x-mas: let me know and I'll send you the nice looking, Boneman edited, score.

Enjoy !

Peter

Hi Boneman,

Good I guess. It gets played and even downloaded 2 times now... I'm now sitting back and relaxing, looking at the soundclick charts daily.

But seriously, I just started a new tune for my piano again. Just a few scribbles so far; this new one needs to stew for a while I think..

The composer in me can't keep to himself anymore......

Greetings and thanks again,

Peter

P.S. just got notification that it entered round 2 !
