i hate to double post, but i thought i should include the new youtube video and edited/refined score of this piece. thanks to @PeterthePapercomPoser for the name!

It's been far too long since I've been able to sit down and dedicate any length of time to a piece. Life has just gotten busy, so...this evening while having some free time I decided to sit down and try to finish this piece! It's a suite of themes that I decided to string together and call..."The Return Home". Some portions of it have a grand sound that I relate to a Lord of the Rings feeling (but not nearly as impressive in my opinion). The piano takes a fairly lead role amongst the symphony. With features in there from woodwinds, choir, and a few others. I hope you enjoy the listen! I've enjoyed spending my time working on this one and personally feel that the stretched out approach may have improved the end piece. Allowing me to come back every few days and listen again with fresh ears. Tweak and change. And this is where it remains now! As always, this was put together in FL Studio using a variety of VSTs. BBCSO Discover, LABS, a couple Spitfire Originals. Looking forward to hearing some feedback!

Yea... wht a waste - I thought of this not long after posting it in YT. I wanted to insert a part w the same melody in A major : ( damnz...

Same to you!! It has some LOTR feels within! Not throughout the whole piece, but in certain sections! Hope you enjoy the listen!

Hi again @Aw Ke Shen, I don't think this is pop at all. As a moderator I'm tempted to just move it into the piano/solo keyboard forum since I think that's where it really belongs - but it might just be me so if you want me to move it just let me know. I perceive this as almost Grieg-like. Despite using lots of repetition this once again impresses me with the amount of variation; canonic imitation, changing subdivisions, change of register. And the melody is very beautiful in it's simplicity and especially prone to being varied in multiple ways while still being audibly related to the original. The only thing that's missing is a key change. The melody/harmony is also a good example of how parallel 5ths in this style of writing don't automatically destroy independence of voices. Thanks for sharing!

This is a piano sonata I've been working on. It's sort of a venting piece for me. I write it while dealing with the thoughts of being a gay man in a conservative Christian community, so I think it's applicable for Saint Valentine's Day, but instead of "I love you," it's more, "I wish I could love you (without being abandoned or shunned by everyone I know)." Kind of melodramatic, I know, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. I plan on making 2 more movements. Forgive my mistakes in the piano recording, (especially measures 246-7. Yikes, I butchered that)!
