Thanks PeterthePapercomPoser for reviewing my piece. This is the third movement of a planned six total. I appreciate the feedback about printing out the midi data.

Barbarossa is the third movement of this World War Two-themed symphony about Nazi Germany's ill-fated campaign to extend its Blitzkrieg into Russia in 1941, which subsequently opened the door for the Allies to fight the German advance on two fronts. Barbarossa ultimately failed due to the Red Army's resolve to fight and Russia's vast territory was too great to conquer. Please let me know what you think about this piece that was composed and sequenced entirely on the Roland FA-06 Workstation and recorded on the Tascam SD-24. I did some light processing with Audacity.

Thanks for the feedback on the trills. I was relying on the Roland auto trill specific to that piccolo but now that you mention it, a whole step would be better.

The second movement of this World War Two symphony expands on the Nazi theme introduced in the last half of the Prelude movement. This German-styled march evokes a celebratory tone as the Nazi war machine rapidly advances its way through Western Europe, paving the way for a new Third Reich.

I really liked this! What a great complex waltz with engaging dynamics. I really liked the rit. at 5:14 to end in such grandiose fashion. This really portrayed the aura of a ballroom. Congrats on this composition!

Thanks for the great feedback! I know there are great software options that allow for some really compelling orchestrations, but I always found myself spending more time troubleshooting computer issues and less time composing. 🙂 Thanks again for listening!

Thank you very much for the detailed feedback. To answer you questions, the Allies theme begins at 3:44. I'm not surprised the piece sounds like it was composed on a keyboard, because it was, using only the one Roland sound module. The German theme isn't introduced until 6:15 and builds to its transformation to the Nazi theme, climaxing at 7:25. I used older German themes to inspire me away from the typical polka marches, though I suppose I can hear the Russian possibility. Thanks again for the feedback.

This World War Two symphony opens with the Prelude Movement, which paints a bleak picture of the world as it was just prior to the outbreak of war in Europe. This first of six movements introduces the Allies theme and then the German theme, which slowly builds to the Nazi theme.

Thanks Mark! I've been looking for feedback avenues, because my style of music is not very popular in my immediate circle of friends and family.

Really nice. Sounds like the East meets the Mediterranean. What sound module (s) are you using? Very realistic sounds.

Hi all. I'm new to the group and would love some feedback on my first upload. If this forum would prefer uploads directly to this site, rather than linking to SoundCloud, please let me know.

Nice intro to what sounds like an intriguing piece. I think it's ready for some horns or other brass melody to introduce the theme. What synth(s) are you using?

Your track is the first one I've listened to since joining the forum and I really enjoyed it. I can definitely visualize the soaring sleigh with the violins and sweeping horns.
