  2. Love this equilibristic writing. Very high quality work, I was thrown into an adventure! It would be nice to hear this in a live performance. One day I hope to have the same confidence as a composer.

  3. Nice! It sounds quite epic and Final Fantasy-esque to me. The build to the main section (where the snare drum comes in and gives a very martial impression) is very enjoyable. Your piece starts sounding quite overly dramatic and operatic with the liberal use of those scalar runs around 3:00. Overall though, from an orchestration standpoint you use very limited forces of the orchestra at any given time rarely employing tutti instrumentation - and you seem to have quite a big orchestra including choir but never use all of it at once. I guess there is a tendency to over-orchestrate sometimes among beginners which you avoided though. I just recently figured out how to do this in MuseScore too but it seems like all your instruments are panned to the center when it could have made your piece sound fuller if the 1st Violins were on the left and cellos and basses on the right (sometimes some orchestras seat the 2nd Violins on the right - depends on what you want). You might want to consult an orchestral seating chart for where to put the rest of the instruments as well. Overall a really great job though - quite enjoyable! Thanks for sharing!

  4. Very calming and relaxing. I couldn't help but laugh though when I saw that cat sitting on a cafe stool! LoL Thanks for sharing - I really like all the changes in brightness/darkness you accomplish through modal inflections.

  5. Very nice and well rooted in the Romantic vein, a touch of Rach + Liszt (in the piano part at least). Nothing to comment on. The string writing is superb - well it all is and the balance with the piano is right on. It flows with ease. The piano part is difficult. It'll need an accomplished performer. Some is going to need good aim like the left hand in bar 4. - First beat, I'd use the middle finger (3) for the G of the triplet then coming down again, 1 for the bottom C which means an entire shift of the hand.( It's things like this that remind me of Liszt - a technical issue that has to be turned into art.) Then in bars 20/21 the triplets/duplets in the same hand - not so difficult in itself but the two stretches of a 10th on the fly (bar 21) will need a big hand. I'd play the 3 upper notes with 5. I may stick the laptop on the piano later to try that phrase. You come across as pretty experienced. It's things like your use of double-sharps that suggest it, preserving the shape of a phrase rather than using simpler accidentals that mess up the shape. A most pleasing lyrical section starting in bar 40. All in all, enjoyable - to listen to...not so sure I'd want to play it!
