September 03, 2019  -  User Showcase Song - "Waltzing Through A Dream"

Construction: The melody of the 3rd stanza came to me first - composed on descant recorder. I recorded an oboe version in "Reason" and then set about composing two counter-melodies for bells, piano and strings (as heard in stanzas 1 & 2). I saved my favourite part (oboe) for the last stanza.
The next task was to find a BIAB style with backing instruments that would fit. I would have preferred 'even' to 'swing' waltz, but beggars can't afford to be too fussy! I'm reasonably content with the overall effect and am beginning to like it better than the 2008 version (which was 100% midi).
