Hi Dominique,
Although these Lieder were not meant to be orchestrated, you did a great job, not only in the technical aspect of orchestration, but in the emotional atmosphere as well. Your instrumental contribution describes so well the feelings and inner conflicts that go with death and dying, with departure and grief. When listening, I almost felt tears coming up, thinking of passed away beloved ones. Your music is not sentimental at all, but evoques (together with the original song) all the mixed feelings attached to definite goodbeyes.
Glad I could listen to this and thanks for your marvellous work!

Wow, this is so beautiful. I just listened to the originals (like the one with Brigitte Fassbaender) and I would have never imagined such an orchestral work in this - you did a perfect job not only in orchestration, but also in a great VSL setup.
This is really great work, keep it up.
Here is a third song by Johannes Brahms that I orchestrated. It's 'Schwesterlein' (Little Sister) from his 49 folk songs WoO 33.
The song is about a boy repeatedly asking his sister to come home from some kind of fair. The evermore exhausted sister - probably suffering from consumption - repeatedly refuses because she wants to enjoy her last night and dance with her darling. I hope you can grasp from the music what happens in the end.

In the mockup everything but the horns is from VSL sample libaries.
Hi Dominique,
very beautiful and realistic work ! Bravo ! The mix is excellent too... Is it Dimension strings ?
Thanks for sharing.
Best.
Philippe.
