Varen (Last Spring)

Varen (Last Spring)

by Gerry Timm

Composed by: Edvard Grieg

I chose Varen as an exercise in expression control and dynamic balancing of 8 parts. My Music 5000 was originally obtained as a means of trying and storing musical ideas and arrangements - which it does admirably - but I am now 'hooked' on AMPLE and trying to unravel it. The Staff Editor is a boon. I initially write parts here, laying them down one at a time, listening for errors not detected by the editor. Before AMPLINEX my only real source of information and help was studying other people's programmes.
