![Andreas Theme
This is my favorite piece that perfectly captures a slightly grown-up sound, but still sounds like a 1990s-era action-drama.
Old Way: Synthesized Electric Piano
New Way: Actual EP Recordings that are built into virtual instruments that are then put through a lot of processors to make them SOUND like Synthesized Electric Pianos.
Old Way: Synthesized Ocarina
New Way: Assemble recordings of an ocarina player, and then make a virtual instrument that captures beautiful expression and legato lines... turn off all that fancy stuff and play it like a crappy synth.

![Southern Gothic
126 BPM
Banjos, Percussion, 12 String Guitar, Choir
Are you cool? Cool like a vampire planking in a graveyard in Alabama?
Planking is uncool... so, you gotta be really, REALLY cool to pull off this vibe.
Stomp and clap along to the cooperating banjos!

![Morning
60bpm
Classical Guitar, Harp, Flutes
Morning. The time of day when you can’t figure out how to get to your drive-thru coffee place because there’s new construction, and the sun is super low so you’re squinting at the signs trying to figure out if you are supposed to turn left here, or if you definitely should NOT turn left here because you will get 3 tires shredded by sharp metal chunks before you fall in a hole.
This piece of music is based on the old-timey concept of calm, beautiful, renewing mornings.

![Adeste Fideles Waltz
Its Christmas in July!
We start with a repeating music box theme.
The cello recontextualizes the simple music boxes providing a surprising and comforting bed for the low trumpet to sing over.

![Flying Kerfuffle
Happy happy, happy happiness. Happier, happiest? Happy. Now that the word has lost all meaning, take a listen to this thing. It is dripping with joy. Ever see a sad person on a jetski? Of course not. It isnt possible. Similarly, you cant listen to this and be sad. No Mortal Can! You can be angry at it, you can dislike it, but you cant be sad because of it. What happens when you employ modern club music techniques on music for folk dances? This.

![Canon in D for Two Harps
Harpists, by nature, are solitary people who love horses. Getting harpists to play fast together and contour a melodic line is neigh-on impossible. So we have to give all the notes to one person so it doesnt sound like harp hell. But now you need to rest, because plucking like that is insane, so the other person gets the next tough part.
You also need to make sure that each part makes sense so you can practice it and not feel like youre throwing your soul down a well.
I believe this is the best arrangement of this piece for 2 harps; A thing which should never have been tried. The arrangement itself is in the Public Domain, and sheet music is available.
