"I have just listened, and I know you put it up as a sound sample, but I can't resist saying how much i liked it as a piece of music too !  The sounds were very good too, and had a good choral quality. I will check out whether it could be…"

"Here’s a small choral piece StaffPad and Voxos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXKnir4oxfc ;"

"Thanks Michael,  I have not heard of VOP so will check it out. Think i will probably not be going in to world builder (well, maybe just the odd piece !) as can't face spending so much time as a technician ! I tend to compose orchestral…"

"Hi Suzanne. I had been using Noteperformer with Sibelius, I think it does a good job of interpreting phrasing. Sounds are better than default Sibelius. I also got “Voices of Prague” when it was on special a few months ago.…"

"Thanks for that Dane. it seems that lots doesn't run on Sibelius ! Have just found "BBC Symphony Orchestra" by Spitfire Audio (no vocals, but good orch. sounds) also doesn't run on Sib well. May be useful for others though, as…"

"I doubt this is going to be helpful but, going through some past bits and pieces I unearthed a wordless madrigal I wrote and mocked it up with Peter Siedlaczek's classical choir - a set of samples covering several styles. While I believe…"

"I hesitated to comment on this since it was posted under No Critique Sought, but since it seems comment is acceptable, I'll share my opinion that this is very good and a successful multimedia poetry/photography/music production.  The music…"

"Thanks Dane ! Well, I am delighted it afforded you some obvious pleasure, and thank you for such lovely and uplifting comments ! Yes, the volume is rather to quiet... I worked on it with head phones, on laptop, ... but could not really test, as the…"

"What a lovely piece. Just what I need to soothe the savage beast or is it 'breast' after wrestling with converting an xml into notation software. (Oh that I could be a magician to ensorcel it into doing the right thing!)  The music is…"

"Hi Stephen, yet another useful reply. I like this forum, as one does get real help when one posts a query ! I wonder why the demos sound better? I heard Note Performer on a sound sample from a member here, and thought it sounded great. We downloaded…"

"Hi Suzanne, I saw some reviews of the East west subscription service and overall it got about 2 stars. Mostly because people were getting charged for a year, even after cancelling after a month. Also, their libraries are getting old and the quality…"

"Hi Gav, Firstly, I really like the rather haunting melody in "Remembering December," lots of beautiful moments. Unfortunately, i don't  think this would be an option for me, due to the cost. I have a good friend who is a…"

"The proprietor is a man named Carlos Cordero and he does all the singing. I sent him a Finale File and an MP3 and he uses those to come up with a price quote. Not sure if he works with other notation programs. Here is a sample for one voice, Alto.…"

"Thanks a lt Gav, Yes, do post an example or two... I'm interested in all options ! We actually found last night ( well, Geoff,  my husband  and also a composer. actually...  he's more techi than me  !) That East West do…"

"Hi Susan, I  use The Happy Choir, an internet service that provides a real singer for a fee per song, and have been quite happy with the result. I can give more details or samples of their work on my songs, ask if interested - Gav"
