If you are looking for that larger-than-life Hollywood sound, the APPASSIONATA STRINGS are the perfect answer. In particular the legato and sul-G-performances, with varying intensities of vibrato, provide a passionate, large and epic string sound. These big strings are designed for all kinds of cinematic music, from slow and lush themes to fast action scores. In addition to arco and legato styles, the 20 violins, 14 violas, 12 cellos and 10 double basses (six among them being 5-string double basses) feature accented interval notes, staccatos and spiccatos. While APPASSIONATA STRINGS I covers a wide range of articulations, APPASSIONATA STRINGS II offers almost all of the articulations in the first Collection, but played "con sordino". Some composers even combine the "normal" strings with muted strings, resulting in a particularly thick and luxurious sound.
Included Collections:
Appassionata Strings I
Violin ensemble (20 players)
Viola ensemble (14 players)
Cello ensemble (12 players)
Bass ensemble (10 players)
As the name suggests, these string ensembles are quite
simply,
passionate. Their lush, broad and emotive cinematic
sound defies
expectations for a virtual instrument. They integrate
perfectly well
into a variety of musical styles, from pop and rock
environments to
symphonic arrangements, from emotional ballads to films,
from pure
string beds to complete orchestral scores.
The Appassionata Strings offer various facets
of sustains
and Legato Performances with different intensities of
vibrato as
their main focus, but also include articulations such
as sul-G-Performances,
accented interval notes, spiccatos, staccatos, various
Repetition
Performances, trills, runs, and much more. They also
include Vienna's
innovative "out-of-tune-samples" where various players
of the
ensemble carefully correct their intonation as the tone
progresses.
Mirroring what actually happens in live orchestral
performances,
this is a very effective technique for creating
heightened realism
and expression. The Appassionata Strings bass
section
of 10 instruments consists of 6 five-string and 4
four-string basses,
giving the low end a deep and rich flavor.
Appassionata Strings II
Violin ensemble (20 players)
Viola ensemble (14 players)
Cello ensemble (12 players)
Double Bass ensemble (10 players)
These muted large string ensembles are a special gem
for everybody who is looking for that sweet,
Hollywood-style string sound. The sequel to
Appassionata
Strings offers almost all of the articulations
that the first Collection includes, but
played "con sordino". This is going to be the most
lyrical string ensemble in your studio!
