How to work with an orchestra.

Hello...

I have been composing for all my life I think but I did never work my (great) compositions out. I Just made some compositions with great melody's on my keyboard with some nice strings. Now I have EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Gold Edition, and i want to work my compositions out. Well I don't know very much about the techniques with working with an (virtual) orchestra. Do you know where i can find some information about this, like to create nice orch hits, of what instruments are very beautiful to use??

Thanks already,

Greetings,

Arne
