This is my ninth demo of the upcoming sample set by Forestpipes: Waldsassen, Stiftsbasilika (you hear the Beta-version).
More info about this instrument and sample set:

It is an improvisation with some variations on the hymn 'Awake, my soul, and with the sun', a melody by Orlando Gibbons called 'Angel's Song'.
A lot of colors of the Waldsassen instrument are demonstrated:
