What’s Included

Tap into the tones and textures of an earlier musical era with an array of orchestral instruments and voices.

Choir

Male and female vocalists from a Baroque-inspired choir produce pure, natural tones singing German syllables taken from Bach’s Passions.

Strings

Recorded with gut strings and period bows, Miroire’s violins and violas deliver rich, complex sounds and softer tones than modern instruments.

Basso Continuo

Double bass, two celli, and a bassoon enable you to create bass lines as part of the basso continuo section.

Woodwinds

Miroire offers multiple period woodwinds, including Baroque flute and oboe, oboe d’amore, and oboe de caccia. Built with softer materials than modern winds, these instruments offer gentle, warm, and mellow tones for expressive parts.

Brass

Valveless period horns, restricted to the harmonic series, were captured without a hand in the bell for a direct tone. Valveless period trumpets deliver a powerful sound, perfect for fanfares.

A modern lens into the past

Miroire features stylized vocal sounds plus specially prepared instruments to evoke the music of three centuries ago. Singing vowels from 18th century liturgy, the choir offers pure, natural tones with little vibrato. Coloratura legato enables fast ornamentations.

String instruments use gut strings and period bows for warm tonality with complex overtones. Winds made from soft woods and using few mechanics provide a mellow, intimate timber. And valveless brass instruments deliver a full sound.

Recording details

Musicians were meticulously sampled in the main room at Berlin’s acclaimed Teldex Studio, enabling you to blend these sounds seamlessly with other Orchestral Tools libraries.

All voices and instruments were recorded at A4=415 Hz—the most common tuning for performing Baroque music. Samples were mapped a half step lower to provide compatibility with modern tuning, though they retain their rich, slightly darker tone.
