It's called Masquerade and has been written for full orchestra and piano. Unfortunately it's been encoded at 96kbps because the file was too large for MySpace at 128kbps. Hopefully it won't sound too bad though! Cheers, Terry -------------- http://purplerhapsody.co.uk - no words, just emotions Back to top

Negative comments and ideas for improvement are just as welcome as pats on the back! Cheers, Terry. -------------- http://purplerhapsody.co.uk - no words, just emotions Back to top

This is a great track and nicely executed, I've had a quick listen to your other pieces and your work is very promising, keep it up   -------------- my music website www.bluetape.co.uk Back to top

My only complaint would be that I find the violin pizzicato a bit strange at the end of this very part, but I might get used to it with more listenings. The transitions are very nice and the piece is very coherent, and remains interesting even at this length. Well done and thanks for sharing! -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism.

Ginger Daddy Group: Members Posts: 401 Joined: April 2002 Posted: Dec. 30 2007, 13:34 Thank you BlueTape and EeTon for your positive comments. I've been composing music for years and years but must admit to being a little doubtful about my skill in arranging for orchestra so your comments have really given me a big confidence boost. EeTon - did you mean the bit that is just piano and pizzicato violins or the bit just before that with the brass as well? The bit with the brass I considered using short bowed notes rather than pizzicato but ended up using pizzicato because otherwise it was hard to hear the tune... I'm planning to revisit the arrangement before it makes it's way onto my next CD - I don't plan to make any major changes but I'll certainly consider your comments. Thanks again!
