Using chord substitutions...

[Larry G. Alexander]

All,

This is the well-known "Begin The Beguine", in which I have used chord substitutions in order to deviate from the standard progressions.

The strings are perhaps too loud. If you think so, I will do a re-mix.

This is partial GPO. I hope that you like it.

Regards,

Larry

Hi Larry,

I am BACK in town!!! And the first thing I did..... yes, begin the beguine!!
Nice chord harmonies, different from the standard, true, but refreshing.

Greetings from a new system,

Glad to see you back with your new computator.

Thanks for giving it a listen.

Oh I'm loving this--taking another listen. Your fresh arrangement of this standard completely works for me. I'd go so far as to say it's an improvement.

You asked for feedback on the volume of the strings--I don't think they're too loud. They're a bit "blocky" perhaps, sounding a bit too much like keyboard chords and without as many dynamics as I'd prefer, but their volume seems appropriately supportive of the lead instruments and rhythm section.

Nice!

Very cool. The new harmonies are fresh without sounding jarring. They flow well too. I'll listen again when I have some more free time and let you know if any more insights come up.

The strings sound like an inexpensive synthesizer, to me,
Larry, but certainly not too loud. In that, they're probably best
kept submerged as you have them.
