#originalmusic Quasi un santo

Hello @Vavrinec and welcome back to the forum!

I first followed this thread and closed the window and came back to the site later to find that your composition still seemed to be in the "unread" state in the activity list.  But I guess that is because you made the title of the thread bold?  You fooled me!  And because you did I was tricked into clicking on the topic again and listening to this wonderful composition again.  LoL  I love what you're doing with the orchestration and the inversions of the chords that you're using in the harmony to create a nice bass line for the melody and smooth voice leading.  I love how it starts so bittersweet and serene and grows to be very passionate and intense.  The effect is especially great with the horn glissando/rip near the end of the excerpt.  It would be really fun to play!  Thanks for sharing this beautiful and reverential piece.

Hello @PeterthePapercomPoser Thank you so much for your feedback! Of course, I had no intention to lie to anyone, lol, but it was my first time posting a topic here and I'm not quite experienced, so I may have made a mistake. Thank you for your words, I appreciate it very much. Such comments help me to compose better, and at the same time give me the enthusiasm and zeal to continue!

Hi @Vavrinec,

This is lovely! I love your melody and your orchestration very much! The contrasting theme in 0:56 is great as well.

I would be very interested in hearing any feedback or thoughts—do you think I should continue developing it further?

For me you can at least continue with the ending melody to complete the contrasting theme, then go back to the opening theme with different orchestration.These 3 parts will comprise the 1st section and you can go for new themes for the 2nd section!

Thx for sharing! I like this one.
