John B.Sullivan (mistersynth)

Fireside Rêverie
This is an old piece of mine originally originally created in Notator SL using my Yamaha SY85 in November 1993. I used sounds which I created especially for the piece and although they were vaguely reminiscent of orchestral sounds it's only since I've had GPO that I've had the chance to re-record it as a truly orchestral piece. The instrumentation is shown below. The only non-GPO instrument in the piece, and which comes in during the repeat of the middle section as a counter-melody to the solo Oboe, is the "Gt Pinch" patch from Cakewalk's TTS Softsynth which is bundled with Sonar 4, the sequencer I used to create this version. An electric guitar might not, at first thought, be the most suitable of instruments to duet with an oboe, but I think it fits remarkably well here.
