Big bands not that seldom include more often atypic brass as well as less often atypic woodwind instruments, let alone special string sections, but usually this is a domain of "radio orchestras". Regarding light muse we awful Germans have some well maintained fortune, the so called "radio orchestras". I suspect that this is the only relatively positive income of the otherwise disgusting distinction between "E-Musik" (serious music) and "U-Musik" (entertainment music). A few musicians don't need to do completely unrelated jobs or to be willing to play such music as salon music. As a hardrock musician you unlike could benefit from this approach, but for audio engineers, it could be helpful, even if you never ever would be willing to record a "radio orchestra", at least for getting in contact with employers. My personality is absolutely ambivalent, also regarding "radio orchestra" arrangements. While I like your composition and arrangement, I would prefer to get rid of the harp and phrases of the harp repeated by other instruments. OTOH regarding your inspiration, it makes sense to include it. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
