Story behind the song

For many years I've wanted to explore writing for strings, so finally I've taken the plunge. The score was developed with the aid of a program called Finale (free download) and the individual parts were broken down into MIDI files with a program called Mozart. However the MIDI sounds weren't all that good, so I ended up playing all four parts myself on keyboard. Unfortunately I don't have access to a real live quartet. Hopefully this can be overlooked. A lot more work than writing pop songs, but I'd like to do more of this in the future.
