Dream World

I am way out of my comfort zone on this one.

I used BiaB style Emerald-Slow, peaceful ¾ orch.
I deleted the drum part and split the string, bass and guitar tracks into double bass, cello, viola and violin parts. I wrote the violin/viola lead lines and I played the oboe via my wind controller.

I’ll let you decide how I well I did.


Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?

Hi Mario,

The sound is wonderful. And the 'oboe' playing is top notch, incredibly realistic. There were times when your composition reminded me of the adagio movement from "Spartacus" by Khachaturian (it was used as the theme for the BBC show "The Onedin Line" back in the '80s).

Like Richard above me, "Magnificent" was regularly floating through my mind as I listened.

Great stuff!
Noel

Mario,

Loved it... I only thought a longer fade out at the end might be nice, but this is a very beautiful piece of music!

Mario, you should just go ahead and put style that right inside your comfort zone.

Well portrayed, presented, and performed.

I think you've mastered that one for sure.

Thanks for sharing

Very nice Mario. Love the oboe and the lush strings in particular.

Mario ,

that was beautiful.
A ballet could easily be performed to that.

Thanx all for listening and the extremely kind reviews.

Noel, Khachaturian? He is way above me in compositional skills! My favorite hockey team is the Buffalo Sabres and they play his Sabre Dance during their intro. Plus my wife’s favorite waltz is the Khachaturian Waltz.

Gibson, I never thought of it as a ballet song but you’re right, it just might work for that.

90 dB, I’m sorry that you left ballet. I’ll bet you looked great in a tutu!

Nice, Mario!

Sounds like the score from some Italian love-story film. The oboe is very nicely done. The strings are big! What are they? And the harp?

Enjoyable. A good change of pace...

Thanx Floyd!

All of the instruments in this are from Kirt Hunter’s Diamond Orchestra for Kontakt. It is quite expensive but I bought it during a half off sale. The reverb I used is the Cathedral reverb from Sonar’s B-Verb. I used my MIDI guitar controller to input the harp’s notes and the oboe’s input instrument was my EWI-USB wind controller.

I’m glad you liked it.

Mario,

Just beautiful! As stated before, the oboe is really nice. I love the arrangement.

Here's a suggestion...
With Bob's background in ballet, you should team up with him and make a video for this one. I would love to see it! smile
