Homely Fragrance

My first work using a small group of instruments. Before I had always composed for piano only. Constructive criticism is welcome! 🙂

It's nice if a bit reminiscent of Pachelbel's Canon in D.  In some places in the D major section, in the Oboe and Harpsichord part you have A#'s which would work better as Bb's since you're borrowing from the minor mode (since D minor has a flat in it).  The modulation into F major is well executed!  In the F major section there's the same problem as in the D major.  You use C#'s where Db's would be more appropriate since you're borrowing from the F minor mode which has four flats.  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for listening! I'll keep in mind the enharmonics.

Wow, I really like this! I've gotta admit, it's been a while since I've written a piece of music, mainly due to lack of inspiration. After listening to this though, I think I'll try again. This piece is magical. Keep writing!
