Think of Me with Kindness

I picked this arrangement out by ear from the soundtrack for It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. The original was written and performed by The Vince Guaraldi Trio. I used PreSonus Studio One DAW with Presence sampler, NI Kontakt, S88 controller and Roland JV-880.

The Great Pumpkin Waltz

Live tracked to MIDI, no edits, not quantized, a tempo. 
120 bpm, with no signal processing 
Played on "The Giant" Kontakt library,
