A friend of mine sent me a midi file of a keyboard line in 7/8 and said do what you want with it or to it. I added a load of stuff to it and this is the result.  I like a bit of 7/8.

orchestral parts are from an obscene number of Spitfire sample libraries and the choirs and soprano was from omnisphere.  The piano line is based on the original midi file.

Very engaging piece. Lots of different textures used in the the music. An enjoyable listen. I like the voices.

a ride into the thinking mind....brace yourself there may be some twists and turns....but they are all throughly enjoyable...refreshing bright and airy with a slight mystical feel...excellent

Orchestral sweetness! Very creative composition and those choirs are icing on the cake! Well done Paul.

What a cool musical journey Paul and friend! The 7/8 timing took a bar or so to get my mind on board but once that happened it was pure joy. Nicely done!

Those strings sound epic.
Drums sound amazing too.
So much going on,my head would hurt putting this together,I have the attention span of a fly.
I love the change around the 2 min mark, and those horns.
So much to take in,wow theres even an operatic singer.
You would give mike outfield a run for his money.
Epic.

Feels like movie scene music....
It winds nicely around mostly lovely scenarios..
A little, just a little proggish... sounds like Yes used it when coming onto the stage!
Lovely stuff Paul

I circulated around this one for a while incase it would be too much for me. I don't want to be forced to think in this hot weather :)

Luckily this was such a joyous piece of music that it made the day more bearable. Airy synth sounds, big harmonies and orchestral sounds + clever composition make this a winner in my book.

Hi Paul,
Very dramatic, and love the melody.
I love the orchestra sound, and the joyous vibe is so nice.
You did a wonderful job in this creation.
I am enjoying this music tremendously.

Paul this really is superb. It also gave me a little bit of a Yes or ABWH vibe. But just so much going on in here. Really uplifting. Downloading for future listens. Thanks for posting.
