'The Ring' - Celtic Reflections Copyright - March 1998 by Alan Thomas Composed and sequenced by Alan Thomas Magic MIDI Music Co. *Profile: This composition begins with a simple tribal motif which gives way to a contrasting string theme and bridging sections on tenor sax. It ends with the simple motif returning and the orchestra's brass section and the tenor sax playing off against it. It is not truly classical in form, nor Jazz - it is simply an expression of Celtic cultural change. *Performance Notes: Realtime MIDI Input: Fatar Studio 900. Sequencer: Cakewalk Pro. 3.01. Sound Module: Roland Sound Canvas (SC155). To listen as intended use the old Sound Canvas GM 'Capital Tones' patch set; unfortunately GM/GS patch sounds vary greatly, even from Roland, and this piece is particularly fussy! *Technical Notes: Sysex messages are limited to a GS Reset at the start and end and an initial Voice Reserve re-allocation, otherwise it uses a default GS setup. If you use the Windows MIDI Mapper you must enable all 16 MIDI Channels to your Sound Canvas port. *Performing Rights Strictly for personal use only. *Feedback: Alan Thomas aathomas@compuserve.com
