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

As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
I couldn't talk for a while afterwards and I felt like a moron after listening to my vocals, but it had to be done :) So no laffin'!
Our attempt to be on the roof of Abbey Road Studios if only for a moment!

Piano…
drip by drip..
I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
this is great!!! I love the jazz / spaces blues vibe. The harmony leads are seriously impressive! How'd did you make your fretless? I recently made one myself - amazing how low the action is now.
Stealin' Pumpkins off the vine...
Such good fun I do it all the time.
Single Gon Bops conga track miced for heavy bass. And 2 tracks of cow bell, of course.
4/4 200bpm
this is ok - I must admit I'd like to hear this with some shuffling percussion and a bass line to paste it together - and bring out that lead instrument a bit more. Its always dangerous to compose someone else's piece - so forgive me if the idea sounds ludicrous.

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

Cool beans! Love the guitar work here...
Lovely, gentle sounds.
Great synth sounds!

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?
