Hello everyone! I'm just looking for feedback from anyone who has a few moments to spare; it would be greatly appreciated. This song is called "Impressivo: My Sorrow's Ostinato". Its done completely in a sequencer(Reason 3/4). I would love to have written it out in Finale, but I am just not skilled enough for something this ambitious. A further hindrance to my ability to write this out is that the dean of my music department feels that undergrads shouldn't be focused on composition and that they should just learn an instrument. That attitude is prevalent in the department to the point where most don't take me serious when I'm asking for help. . . but I won't bore you with any more of my sob story, lol. . . here it is, Impressivo, sequenced as realistically as possible, given the sounds I had to work with. . . Impressivo Click "Impressivo" Thx and have a blessed day.:thumbsup:

I think it had its moments but there wasn't anything that really stays with you. . . not like the themes from LotR or Gladiator or Harry Potter. . .

wow, this is really nice. you definitely have a professional quality to it all, even if some of the sounds don't sound professional...(like some of the strings, and the piano at times) content/idea-wise i think this is pretty on point. i enjoyed it. you should look into investing in some hi quality vsts. . . .like the vienna symphonic libraries or otherwise pe@ce

Wow, I really appreciate all this feedback!! :D on to my questions. . . JWhitmarsh, Since there will be many sections that the harp is overpowered by the strings, should I just double it with xylophone entirely? And for the stops in the viola part, that section, like most of the song is suppose to be divisi, but I'm not sure yet if that is correct. Very, very helpful! Musicninja, For the closing chord, do you think making the spacing closer would be a workable remedy? Thanks everyone

i uploaded the pdf and midi for you. . . i don't think it will sound anywhere close to the way it does in finale tho. . . the free finale demo will open and play it the way it's suppose to be heard however. . . Cransworth, Do you think I should work to make the theme more prevalent or just tone down some of the 'livelier' sections? thanx to you both for feedback

I guess this is what some would classify as a sketch but I have attempted to correctly orchestrate it to the best of my ability. This piece is called 'The Fire' and I spent a few months putting things together. I'm pursuing composition lessons currently so I can start hopefully publishing my music. Note: I have the harp doing some things in here that I'm not sure are possible, it would be helpful if someone could clarify that for me, thx. :) I'm looking for constructive criticism and feedback.
