Thresholds Of Genova - for String Orchestra

This draft has a major change in that the main library was changed to Spitfire BBCSO. It was also transposed to D maj - a common key for love themes. There were also quite a lot of production changes compared to draft 1 with parallel compression being (variously) applied to the Abby Rd Vln1 and Celli. Lots of small changes to the WW and mid strings to smooth out the harmonic accompaniment. An important lesson was to continue to use the Spitfire Solo Strings instead of the Vln and Cello leaders in BBCSO - both very weak from an expressiveness and vib point of view

A life altering event in 2005 kicked me out of my chair to pursue a dream I'd had for a while - composing and recording my own music. Another life altering event in 2021 kicked me again to pursue another dream I'd had for a while - sharing the creations that the Universe gave to me and see if others might like them. I hope you enjoy.
