Song to the Universe

[Jerry Gerber]

This piece is on my 13th CD release. It's scored for virtual instruments, including piano, string quartet and the soft synth Massive.

Hi Jerry,

A most surprising piece ndeed. After the rather classical fugato intro the synth comes in as some kind of anachronism, but the composition developes to perfect integration of the traditional instruments and the electronic one. I found it thrilling from beginning to end. 

Thanks for sharing,

Jos

It has some very interesting harmony in it and also shows how integrating a synthesizer with analog instruments is a very fruitful approach, even though it is not done very often these days.  In old Hollywood scores the electronic instruments would be added to orchestra for the expanded timbre and effects, but today one usually hears all acoustic, or all electronic.  Especially with sampled acoustic instruments.

Thanks William and Jos for your comments. Jerry
