I would love to know what all you accomplished composers think of my little piece evoking the "gloaming" (Scottish word for twilight) at my local beach in Japan. I'm Scottish but have lived here a long time, so the mixture of the Japanese name with a Scottish word in the title was deliberate.

Omae Hama in the Gloaming - link to YouTube video

The first section is for piano only (see Omae Hama in the Gloaming.pdf below). The second section is a fuller version including oboe and strings (see Omae Hama in the Gloaming for piano, oboe and strings.pdf below)

I think it is very evocative and deceptively simple - like Satie's music.  To me it kind of sounds like you mixed Satie and Sibelius as your influences in this piece.  Omae Hama looks like a beautiful place to live.  I personally like the piano version better for its simplicity.  The version for piano, oboe and strings sounds like a Japanese video game music track (which isn't necessarily bad just different imo).  Thanks for sharing!
