"What a wonderful compilation of Violin pieces accompanied by orchestra! Great job performing this! This was a great Thanksgiving treat!" Hello everyone, I wanted to celebrate this year's Thanksgiving holiday a bit by making a quick (and admittedly imperfect) violin cover of my 3 early fiddling compositions, woven together as a fun little suite. Feel free to share your thoughts on this; your feedback is always welcome! And lastly!, enjoy today with your family and friends and loved ones, and show your thanks and gratitudes for all the things that made your year! I know I have mine(: https://youtu.be/7JzSdoikcPs ~Frank
November 29, 20241 yr Hi @Frank Normandy! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! These were a treat to listen to. Are these supposed to be Irish or Celtic influenced? They certainly sound like it. It's great that you're able to perform these for us and perhaps at some future time a live performance with an orchestra could be arranged? Great job and thanks for sharing!

Hello @PeterthePapercomPoser! Glad to hear from you again!(: At the time I composed these 3 pieces, I haven’t heard of Irish or Celtic music yet. The only influence I got was from my middle school music teacher, who often got us to play tunes from the book Fiddlers’ Philharmonic and its sequel Fiddlers’ Philharmonic Encore. They were really cherished moments from my youth. As for a performance with live orchestra, my former violin teacher is a member of a local community orchestra, so maybe I can contact him for a slight chance of that opportunity. Thank you! Your feedback really motivates me to continue pursuing music. Wish you a great Thanksgiving evening!(: ~Frank
