@Hughes Thank you for responding to some of the dynamics issues in my post. I understand now - I've heard this before about notation software rendering the sound, the dynamics and stereo difficult to balance. As for the piano part, if you play you'll know you can cheat with seconds on white notes and some black notes (depending what the rest of the hand is doing)! I'm sure Liszt did and I know Ravel expected it in his piano concerti. What I'm pretty sure of is it would sound good played live (with suitable adjustments made to the dynamics on the finished score). The choir could be given nuances of expression lost in a notation rendering.

The flute in the opening is very nice. It's a pity that the sounds are not the best because the orchestration seems pretty good, but the feeling is that the dynamic forces are limited. Good job!

It's very nice. The changing harmonies compliment the still ones well, and I like the modernist influence. The moments of smaller texture like at 1:35 are really beautifully constructed. I feel that the repetition at 1:49 went on a little too long for my taste - the change at 2:02 could have come quicker. Overall though, great job! A merry Christmas to you!

Nice peace. The first part is a bit repetitive because of a short chord progression one and again. The middle part is fantastic with "noises" and music...

I think it's pretty good. I like the style and the modulation (modal). It's true that so many key signature changes make no sense because the reading is harder. In this case, I would write the score without key signature, marking all the accidentals. The role of the marimba is nice. Not always all the instruments have to sound. But Perhaps a solution for those thick (and sometimes not playable) chords in the piano is to lighten those chords and complete the harmony with the marimba. Regarding the voices, they're effective. Take care of the tesitura, it's good, but sometimes the women are in the limits (high A), for a chorus.

@KJthesleepdeprived Will do, need to sort out a couple more sections and I'll share a link.

That's the @Ken320 magic working right before our eyes. Very good piece, as always.
