Soldierbs Waltz

[George Johnson (jorjonzn)]

One of my first on Notation (vs cleaning up Cakewalk Scorewriter midis) is from an old fiddle tune 'Soldier's Joy'.
Still don't have the right Soundfonts assigned.<center><table border=1><tr><td>http://www.notation.com/discus/icons/attachment_icon.gifSoldier's Waltz

Hello Geroge,

That's a beautiful tune.

Here's a interesting musical challenge: Study how Copland orchestrated the Simple Gifts tune in Appalachian Spring, and apply similar MIDI orchestral techniques to this Soldier's Waltz. It would be glorious.

Cheers

Hi George,

Beautiful indeed! I was listening using the Taiji Generation GM (sort of) soundfont, which has oboe for the melody and synth strings for the two chord staves. It sounded beautiful, and a good tempo for evoking a grassy-meadow warm spring day feeling for me http://www.notation.com/discus/clipart/happy.gif

If you decide that you've found the perfect soundfont for your vision, please do let us know. I'd love to hear what you're hearing http://www.notation.com/discus/clipart/happy.gif

ttfn,
Sherry
