An old dude with new shoes

[Raymond62]

.. is not the title of the piece, it has been released here before. Now completely renewed. All GPO strings of course.

Andante Grazioso

Yes, I know it is loaded with old classical clichés, that was the purpose.

Very nice Raymond. The mix/sound is excellent.

Nice piece, well rendered grace notes . Is that what the "grazioso" is referring too? The structure reminded me more of a Scherzo, by the way.

Then I would have called it: Andante Gracioso. (haha).
Rendering those grace notes were the hardest part.......

Hi Raymond,

Very nice mix and render on this and a great character piece.

The old boy sounded well pleased with his purchase on the whole, but did I detect a touch of discomfort here and there where the new shoes were rubbing? By the sound of it, he also picked up some "third party" attention along the way!

A great listen - thanks for sharing!

Best regards,

Keith

Discomfort? Where?
Third party attention? What do you mean by this?

Just uploaded a new version (same link). One can look and look a thousand times and not seeing it. But after all I found out that some keyswitches weren't in time. To speak with DPDAN in another thread: I did fix it (see: http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/...1&postcount=99)

Hi Raymond,

Apologies for the somewhat veiled references. The "discomfort" I referred to was the slightly wistul mood in some of the episodes, as if your "old dude" was not completely comfortable in his new shoes but putting a brave face on it for the sake of passers-by. As to the "third party attention", I thought I heard some signs of romantic dalliance along the way (possibly culminating in a"dudette" on his arm at the end?)

Probably just my overactive imagination and a side effect of upgrading to Windows 7!

Anyway, thanks again for the listen.

Best regards,

Keith

..... and a side effect of upgrading to Windows 7!

Then I must install this also, when it has such effects......

And I learned three new words:

dalliance
wistful
dudette

So this forum is useful for extending my vocabulary.

Aw, a delightful mix with a lot of gracious effects. I enjoy all your renderings. Skillfully composed and rendered.

Just beautiful Raymond - again with the Old World charm and the melancholy shadows of history, tempering your prose. Nicely done, I must say!
Perhaps I hear a bit of the Spanish Vacation in the mix?
