I like this piece a lot and would love to hear what it would sound like preformed professionally. The harmonies are wonderful and very satisfying. I agree with MusicFiend though. The piece is great, but you would really be getting some oohs and aahs if you very cleverly resolved some of the tensions you build and don't resolve. From about 3:00 to about 3:40 you have a very poignant moment or at least a possible poignant moment that could just send people to tears if you do it right. I think, however, what happens is the chords you build alternate between each other and kind of flatten what someone might expect to be more satisfying then it is. I would love to hear the harmony open up and change after about 20 seconds or so of that section. Really have the bass line walk downwards and open up to a really full glorious (and different) sound. Have the top line sing out on the top note of the chord. Maybe take the trumpet and give it the root of the chord held above the rest of the instruments. Build dissonance against that trumpet line for a short sec and then resolve it in the most satisfying way you can think of. You also have this really full sound going, and I am not sure whether it is just the midi or the notation, but it drops out in the middle of this part I am talking about. I would not do that. I would just keep building. Hope those suggestions help. I love what you have done with this.
