Step into the World of Ennio Morricone: Relive Iconic Movie Soundtracks with SWAM String Sections recreations. Experience the Magic of Cinema Through Music, as we honor the legendary Maestro's timeless compositions. As usual, no samples were harmed in playing this composition. 

"Deborah's Theme" is the main theme of the soundtrack from "Once Upon a Time in America," composed by the great Ennio Morricone. Its harmonic richness, with the typical inner voice movements, makes it a perfect piece for the use of SWAM String Sections, both for the quality of the performance and the sound exploration.

In this virtual environment, all SWAM String Sections are brought to life using advanced Audio Modeling technologies such as Room Simulator and Spazializer. These cutting-edge tools meticulously replicate the acoustic reflections within the room, faithfully following its geometry and absorption characteristics.

Instrumentation and Arrangement:

Violins I: 2 sections of SWAM Violin Section (6 violins)
Violins II: 2 sections of SWAM Violin Section (6 violins)
Violas: 2 sections of SWAM Viola Section (5 violas)
Cellos: 2 sections of SWAM Cello Section (5 cellos)
Double Basses: 1 section of SWAM Double Bass Section (5 double basses)

Choosing a larger room in the room simulator, less absorbent materials, and a wider placement of both sections and the virtual microphone (Mic Position) allows for a realistic reverb that smoothly blends the voices of the first violins, second violins, and violas. On the other hand, the cellos and double basses support and emphasize these harmonies with a single sustained note, gradually but consistently increasing. Clear equalization (brightness gain), especially for the violins, combined with the organization of the sections and the room dimensions, creates the typical timbre found in orchestral string arrangements in film soundtracks.
