Layering for Orchestral Effects

My Hiding Place is one of my favorite tracks on the With All My Heart CD.  This track was composed and produced by Claudius Cazan.  The melody is gorgeous and so is the arrangement.  One effect that Claudius tried to achieve is the sound of a true string section without the use of string orchestra.  He played sixteen tracks of backing violin parts to accomplish the sound heard in this track.  The effect is a unique and luscious sound.

Claudius was born in Romania, and the Romanian influence can be heard in this piece.
