When I was 17, I had the chance to perform Brahm’s ‘Nänie’ with my high school concert choir, in Vienna, Austria, as part of an international youth-music festival.  I have loved listening to this beautiful work for many years since, and recently decided to try to recreate the introduction (and ending) using an orchestral library.  Here, I have used Spitfire Audio’s BBC Symphony Orchestra Pro library, and Presonus’ Studio One DAW (digital audio workstation).
