Aella (A Character Sketch) 
Orchestral arrangement 
Composed by Fred Nachbaur 
Ending quote by W.A. Mozart (from "Die Zauberfl�te") 
 

============================================================== 
This short piece for small orchestra (Flute, Cor Anglais, 
Clarinet, Bassoon, French Horns (2), Timpani, Gong, Violins I, 
Violins II, Violas, Cellos, Basses) and drum kit was written 
as a character study of a fictitious character in ``Steampunk 
Saga,'' a freeware RPG game written by Ricky Ip and Kevin Chu, 
and containing work (graphics, animation and music) by many 
other talented and enthusiastic contributors. 

Aella is a fascinating character, a blend of strength and 
vulnerability, power and sadness. The three themes presented 
in this character study attempt to relate portray these traits 
in a compact rhapsodic form. 

A midi demo (virtual orchestra) is available from my website

Composer source file. Also available is an mp3 recording of the 
"virtual orchestra" demo, at my site at
