I own the piano score but I found an accurate score as a midi file on the net and started from there. (That saved a 2 or 3 hours at my pace.)
Then I loaded the file into Sonar 8.5 and orchestrated it by assigning instruments to the VSTi called Kontakt 4 and its Vienna Symphony samples. Adjusting velocities / color / and a few notes took 3-4 hours. The most difficult part was creating the final mix which I'm still not 100% happy with.
well done friend,,, it's wonderful piece, and your orchestration it very interesting,,, some questions (and i'll make these as public, in case anyone else is interested in the tech aspects) did you have a digital piano score,, or working from printed manuscript first or perhaps you already know this memorized and broke it out from that? about how long did this process take??? It's a cool thought/work,,, and though i have not done this myself ,, yet,, it looks like a lot of fun.... once again well done,, i am constantly amazed at your creative/musical talents... Richard

I agree with ACL
One of the most beautiful pieces of music EVER written. Wonderful arrangement. w;-)

Sounds lovely, very nicely done!

The low brass captures the mood of the piece perfectly. Nice interplay between the voices. Well done!
Nice Job Fella! I'll have to check out that link that you sent me. Thanks.
Wonderful job! It all sounds very realistic to me!
This is a frosty little piece, I like the blend and instrument choices
very nice
Cool beans! Love the guitar work here...
Lovely, gentle sounds.
Great synth sounds!
well done I like it.
very cool,,,, and very nice team work
Ha! More like panting than voice. :p
Woah, deep sounds!
Very cool!!! Was the sax, pad, sequences done on the GR-20?
AWESOME COLLAB! Hearing that real sax in there makes me wanna pick my alto back up. Is that pic of 9/11?

*astonished*
Damn.... Elvis IS in the building~!
Man I just *love* your voice. The music and mood is great - but you have a great voice. Bummer on the injury.
lovely improvisation!
yeah - the vocalists get all of the groupies.
good point - Reg?
you certainly did this one justice - lovely!
exquisite! The choral entrance is set up extremely well.
cool cover!!
this is what I'm talk about!! Rocking! So did your hands hurt hitting the metal?
nice work Richard!
Norm I really like it! Is there anyway I could you into sending me the TUBS for the main beat? I want to plagiarize it for a marimba part.
awesome! You are unleashing your inner Sonny Landreth!
whoa! The gong sounds HUGE!
excellent work - sad, sad blues.
wow you nail Elvis so well.
and I 2nd what Norm said - you have an amazing tonal control over your voice.
lovely
this just excellent - the production has great clarity too!
this is an excellent collaboration!
