Speaking of textures, I'm looking for a resource that will provide orchestral scores for free. I need to do some reviewing (for writing score formats), and I'm wondering if there's a source out there to just peruse scores without having to pay (much).

Hi Starkman,and welcome to the new forum,

The resource you require for scores (out of copyright) is the IMSLP at http://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page. There's thousands to choose from.

Kind regards,
John.

Ah! Thanks so very much! That is really going to help!

To see Gary and Randy in a single forum again is a delight.

Garritan samples have done so much for my projects just this year alone - a ballet, a musical, a choral dedicatory piece (with EW Symphonic Choirs) and two brass ensembles, and several sets of scene music for plays.

At the time I originally invested in samples there was no competition to the sound and price of Garritan products. It made it possible for me to share and sell my music.

To all, I say, lets keep the ball rolling.

Hi Tom,
It would be wonderful indeed, if they were still around!

We understand, from a post on Northern Sounds, that Gary has left the MakeMusic fold and so, I suspect, we'll not see him here again. I'd be delighted to be proved wrong!
What will happen to the development of GPO5?

Randy too seems to have "moved on" to work on other things, and good luck to him. I have an inkling that there is more to his lack of presence both here and at NS than meets the eye.

But, as you say, let's try to keep the ball rolling.
Kind regards,
John.

OH please don't tell me you are not a moderator on this forum and Northernsound. I hope you are not the j*** you are on the other forum.
