My last was Franz Shubert (sp?) La Serenade and pretty much making it real sick.
That's a really good tune, but extremely sad IMHO. What did you add to it? I can see adding some Classical Guitar to back up some of the harmonics and even someone playing something soft like a muffled trumpet.

Oh to go back to my original post on this thread, another modern composer that I forgot to mention was Billy Joel: He wrote a series of classical pieces early in the decade that actually hit #1 on the classical charts. The name of the CD is Fantasies and Delusions: It's actually pretty good!
