Hi,

Thank you for your good wishes Djim. In this Forum we are truly in the company of many very nice and talented people, always eager to help others.

Here is my arrangement for a backing track for a Christmas concert, performed earlier this month. It was specifically written for a female voice. The performance was preceded and ended with church bells, recorded in a small village in the Austrian Alps, near where “Silent Night” was created. I had to split the .not file to overcome the size limitation of the Forum.

You need on your computer GPO, JAAB and Microsoft GS Wavetable of Windows XP for the piano. You might ask, why the Microsoft GS piano, when GPO has Steinways to offer. Well, a beautiful sound is not always the right sound for a particular situation. There is likely to be a delay problem between the piano and the other instruments. This can be adjusted in Composer’s Setup. In the performance the English Horn is replaced by the singer.

My very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to all

Herbert
