A transcription and MIDI mockup of Christopher Gordon's "Becoming A Dancer" from the film "Mao's Last Dancer".

I personally find producing mockups to have many benefits. It trains your ear, teaches orchestration, mixing and production techniques, as well as familiarising yourself with the software and virtual instruments in your possession.
In my case, I chose this piece to make use of Embertone's 'Chang Erhu', and select VSTs from Kong Audio's 'Chinee Orchestra' range. And I simply really like the piece...

VSTs used:
Chang Erhu by Embertone
Hollywood Strings by EWQL
Sable 1 & 2 by Spitfire
Hollywood Brass by EWQL
EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Percussion & Woodwinds
Silk by Quantum Leap
Kong Audio Mini Dizi, Guzheng, ChineeNanXiao
