Ode to Joy (Partial Draft)

Have always wanted to conduct an orchestra. Had my chance during a soloist competition in college as a freshman and made it past the first round, sadly not the second.

The next best thing to conducting an orchestra is to acquire DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) some MIDI software and sampled orchestral instruments. The sampled orchestral instruments used are from the Vienna Symphonic Library.

This time-consuming process requires the performance of each instrument and part, one by one and usually by phrase or phrases, so we're looking at a minimum orchestra example of of about 16 parts.

Whenever I get some free time, I'll devote several hours at a time to lay down and clean up tracks.  Hopefully will have more completed works as the years go by.

Enjoy!
