Let me know if anyone would be interested in seeing my process for orchestrating the original piano piece that I wrote about five years ago!

[@sagehale1429]

This piece is so comforting. I wish I had a fire place to sit at while listening to it!

[@1teodebeo]

This piece has personality. Pensive and emotional. I like the build-up and development. Masterful. Proces? Yes!

[@AlexHeppelmann]

Thanks so much!

Wonderful piece, Alex! It would indeed be interesting to see the process for orchestrating this.

[@AlexHeppelmann]

Thanks, Karl! Did your orchestral piece get performed this winter??

[@dwdougherty]

Lovely, Alex. Yes to process!

[@AlexHeppelmann]

Thanks!!

I know by now I shouldn't be surprised at how nice your music is and the quality of your orchestrations are, but every time I listen to a piece it fires blow me away.
I also never tire of seeing your process of composing and orchestration, so would be happy to watch if you did a video on it.

[@AlexHeppelmann]

Thanks, Mark. Good to hear from you, and hope you're well!

[@wiseoldfool]

Beautiful! Yes, I'd love to see you transform it from the piano piece to the finished work, especially anything you tried along the way but later changed as it evolved.

[@AlexHeppelmann]

Definitely made a few changes from the piano piece, so I'll show how/why I made them!

[@hittjett]

Nice job, Alex!

[@AlexHeppelmann]

Thanks, Jett! Hope you're doing well!
