This is the first choral movement in my long-form Requiem Mass. It begins with brass calling to open the Mass, and strings, vocals, and woodwinds come sweeping through to open with a very bright and upward-reaching welcome. The gates open, and revelation is upon us.

On this recording, yes. It's a fairly good soundfont, but still clearly midi.
On my more recent recordings, I'm using Garritan Personal Orchestra to play through VST rather than midi, with much higher-quality samples.
One of these days, especially if I'm looking to cut more of these to CD, I may get around to adapting the older Finale scores to the updated GPO instruments. It's a clumsy process to retrofit an older score to the newer instruments, though, so unless I have a pressing reason, I figure this sound quality is good enough for my purposes at the moment.

I use Finale 2009, which is awfully expensive, but professional level composing software that bundles and embeds GPO. USD$600, http://finalemusic.com/
However, if you already have a VST-enabled music program, GPO comes on its own for US$200. http://www.garritan.com/GPO.html
