Sicut Cervus

This song is my entry in Soundiron's Rainy Day Song-writing Contest. Wish me luck! The contest involves writing a song that incorporates ambient field recordings of rainfall provided by Soundiron. 

I decided to revisit ELO's classic album Out of the Blue, which has quite a few songs about rain, for inspiration, and I set out to write something in a symphonic rock style. 

The vocals are performed by Amy Guskin. The arrangement uses more than a dozen of Soundiron's instrument libraries -- covering almost everything you hear except the bass and drums.

Soundiron libraries used: Acoustic Saz, Alpha Organ, Antidrum Machine, Cymbology, Hopkins Instrumentarium Tines and Echoes, Hyperion Strings Elements, Iron Pack #8, Mars Choir, Mimi Page Light and Shadow, Montclarion Hall Grand Piano, Noah Bells, Sleighbells, Sonespheres (1, 2, 3), Symphony Series Woodwind Ensemble, Tone Morsels

P.S. Check out the other entries to Soundiron's songwriting contest. Lots of creativity coming out in the rain! https://soundcloud.com/soundiron/sets/rainy-day-song-writing-contest
