Orchestral original music and arrangement by @grethehero played by FAWM instrumentals with synth and piano - Greg pulled this off with people playing with no guide track but music and a BPM notation. I don’t know what recording equipment people had but I was just recording into voice recorder pro through my iPhone mic. I hope we do this again and I will get a proper system set up to do it!
FROM Greg’s notes:
I am not sure if anyone has tried to write for and construct an orchestra out of FAWMers before, but I had a go. ALL REAL INSTRUMENTS AND PLAYERS ON THIS TRACK(!)
It was meant to be a song with vocals but I have tried to arrange it as an instrumental piece so you can hear what I composed and the performances at least. I am going to post it 5 times to give each player the credit they deserve. Deal with it.
the players:
violins @gammafied
flute @kahlo2013
flute @jaegerin
clarinet @helenseviltwin
trumpet @tjeff
Of the parts I scored, only the trombone part is missing. There is also a version without the synth/piano here: https://fawm.org/songs/137344/
If anyone tries to do this (multiple orchestral collaborators) in the future, be aware of potential issues about tuning, time/tempo keeping, recording quality etc. I didn't send a guide track, that would have helped the first 2 issues. But I am pretty happy with out it turned out.

Chamber music new style. Sounds very blossoming, spring-y-like. Celebration of life! Great job all!
