I didn't know you composed too! =)

Not bad ^^ Good use of instruments, there was direction and flow, nice harmony . . oh, in your middle section, there's one very short melody that reminds me of What Child is This/Greensleeves =P so be careful!! Hehe . . I liked the part immediately following that, with the strings on pizzicato (very dainty!) . . and er . . yup yup . .

Maybe chuck the staccato that's going on in the flowy bits (as in at the beginning) ;) It really doesn't fit with the flow you've created everywhere else. I really like the bit you had at about 39secs but the bit after it (the pizzicato etc) sounds like you've jumped to a completely different piece - and then it jumps again at 1:17. I would suggest doing a passage to tie these two bits together, or alternately chop out the pizzicato bit between 39 and 1:17 as the bits before and after that fit nicely together. It just feels a bit like you've got a mixmatch of a lot of different styles in the one piece chopped together. I do like the individual sections that make up this piece, just it seems like each section you could make an entirely different song out of! ;) Maybe listen to it again and pick out the style you like best and then assemble all the bits out of that piece that fit with the style? The flowing thing you had going at 39secs and 1:17 (minus staccato :P) sounded really nice and worth developing. The staccato/pizzicato passages at various points in the piece could also be combined into another song :) Have a fiddle - I think you've got some good melody and harmony ideas, just you need to tie them together a bit more firmly ;) Going good though!

Thanks, for the suggestions and comments. I'll see with the jumping from part to part (sounding like a different piece) :boo:

. . and I'll be careful Al. ^_^

E: Grammar X_X

Aww that song is beautiful. :) you are really talented motion~

:D so many parts to it just seem so lively and yet it finds a bit a relaxation to it. I don't know what to classify it to myself. I'd say like a jorney that is somewhat difficult :D ^_^ and there is a part when it seems so sad but I love it alot! it's like dreamly haunting and exciting all in once! wowi congrad gal ;)

Thanks Diamond. I'm working on putting the parts together so it dosen't sound like seperate pieces in one song, that's my main objective right now. :whistle:

When we upgraded to vBulletin the attatchment got lost and I don't have my copy of it because I had my computer reformated.

Did anyone happen to have saved it? XD
Renewed interest. :whistle:
