Hello everyone Below I have attached one of my orchestral pieces, titled Spring. This work encapsulates the essence of spring's awakening, as the frost melts, and the flowers begin to bloom. Note: I am a simple brass man; a member of the plain folk who do not make sound with strings or pieces of wood, so if there are any notational or capability issues with strings and especially harp, any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you and I also appreciate the warm welcome I received to the forum from my last post!

Hello everyone, Since this is my first post here, I will add a small background of myself. I am 17 years old, a senior, and have been composing since 8th grade. I have had little music theory training up until last year when I took AP Music theory. I have additionally been playing trumpet for 8 years. I drew inspiration for this work after hearing the genius of Václav Nelhýbel in his work, Symphonic Movement, as well as the works of Danny Elfman and his various film scores. The main premise of the piece is to convey the mystery and intensity of the night, with a pseudo chase theme in the beginning, fading away to a calm yet unsettling theme, that builds into a dramatic climax. After the climax, a more evil chase takes place, leading to the finale, which briefly recapitulates on the cascading woodwind motif in the beginning, and ends with quite a punch. I hope I did an alright job explaining the general structure, and I would greatly appreciate any feedback I have attached the score and MP3 file in a Google Drive folder. The sound engine is NotePerformer 4 and Finale 27 is the notation software
