Sherry,

This is a good example of what can be accomplished with improvisation and some good sounds. The sparkly bells track (not included in the .not file) really adds a convincing "finish" to the piece. I think the piece very well captures the quiet winter snow feeling. This is all done with just three instrument sounds, including the bells. The piece is at once sparse but also rich in depth.

Anyone who wants to check this out should look at the .not file (with the beta of Composer Pro) only to see the notes, not to hear the music. Hear the MP3 or hi-fi at www.soundclick.com/beanfield_castle. Click the 'Music' link on the right side of the page to get to the list of Sherry's pieces.

Cheers
