Nice!

I've listened to all 3 movements (are there more coming?) and I'll comment on all three here.

I think the 1st movement is the most effective of the set. I feel that it did take me somewhere, and for the most part kept me wondering what was going to be around the next turn. I also think it went on for longer than it needed to (it's out of proportion with the others) and by the time I was about 6 minutes my mind was wandering a bit. But the contrasting coda with the brass was a good touch.

Having listened to several of your other pieces, I feel your music is least effective when you get into a repeating cycle of chord changes that happen predictably on the barline. Adding textural variations to something that becomes redundant doesn't make it go anywhere; it's still just static. You're indulging in that a little bit in the second movement, fortunately for not too many cycles. Still, this movement was my least favorite.

I liked the third movement, which has the feeling that it should be a culmination, and my only comment here is that it ends before it really accomplishes anything. If this is still a middle movement then maybe it doesn't need to go very much farther; but if it's the last of 3 then I'm left wondering what it was that you were trying to say.

Thank you Tom for listening to my music.

The 3 so called movements from Hraesvelg and the other 3 songs of that playlist https://soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/hraesvleg were music trial tests that I initially made for the BIFSC 2019 scoring competition. I was exploring different ambiance and writing for the short movie imposed but did not find them matching the mood set by the movie. I discarded them and had them stacked in that playlist.

The composition that I finally used for the competition was the following one. I hope that you will find this score better that the others.
