Abstract
While many students apply for an ORCA grant to fund scientific research or, in the case of other Commercial Music majors, technical audio application, I wanted to complete a project that was purely artistic. My emphasis has always been in classical concert composition first and foremost, and when I received the opportunity to write the music for a ballet, I wanted it to showcase my best work. My ORCA grant made that possible by allowing me to hire 6 top quality musicians and a professional recording studio to layer live players in with my software instruments. The finished product is almost indistinguishable from a live recorded orchestra.
