Hi, I really don't quite understand the theory underlying the composition ... (although as a retired professor of social work, clinician, and school administrator ... retired); if you have any questions about a career in social work feel please to ask me.
Now about the music ... my only observation is the pairing of the English Horn with the French Horn. I think matching dynamics would be a bit difficult since the timbre and projection of the instruments are quite different especially in the lower and upper registers.
The work is quite pleasant to listen to .... and flows quite nicely.
