Thank-you Matt and Mark.
Actually, Chris, why don't you try setting my example in Sibelius?
There's no reason for it not to sound OK.
I'm using a sample library called GPO, but I'm working in Finale with no sequencer tweaking. There's no reason for Sibelius to sound any worse.
What Matt is trying to tell you is that no matter the tool you use, if teh foundation is good, the end result will work better.
I've listened to examples done (on another website) using very expensive sample libraries and sequencers that were tweaked to high heaven... and they STILL sounded like crap... because the person didn't ORCHESTRATE the passage. The just "filled in the blanks". Which is really the worst way to proceed with orchestral music.
It's a slow process. Doing these exercises once won't do it. The best thing is to try MANY realizations of the same passages over and over.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
