Album Notes

DAY DREAMING SPRING

Total Time: 27:54

Sealed jewel case
All arrangements by Clint Jones
All tracks believed humanly playable
All instruments tuned to A = 444 Hz on all tracks.

Track 1 - Mussorgsky's "[A] Night on Bald Mountain" - 15:44 minutes.
This arrangement includes the full traditional orchestra with additional instruments added, and piano included. The piano parallels the orchestra and is augmented in certain passages. The piano and orchestral music scores were carefully combined for this arrangement, as no combined piano-plus-orchestra scores were found.

Track 2 - Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" - 06:14 minutes.
This is the full orchestral version, which was included in this album due to the time of the year (in the Northern hemisphere). Additional instrumentation and choir was also added to this arrangement, which follows the orchestral score. Clarion and church bells were also added, pre and post.

Track 3 - Chopin - Opus 64, No. 2 - 05:54 minutes
From Chopin's waltzes, one of the favorites (Opus 64. No. 2) was chosen as this sounded well, using an 88-key synthesizer. This waltz was slowed and extended so it could last at least five minutes. Have played non-Classical waltzes for many couples in the past, who had learned how to waltz (or two-step) together. Generally, they expect it to be reasonably slow and somewhat lengthy.
