For being your first composition, it's good!

I like how the flute introduces the song, and how the chord progression works. The song creates a calm ambiance, and I feel calm when listening to this. The instruments you chose are also good, but I think you shouldn't present all of them at the same time. I would start off with the flute (and mybe add a second intrument) and then, after a while, you start a main melody, and add strings and a bass to it. Also, some of the notes don't match together...I can't really out my finger on it, but I think it's the piano that's ruining some of the song. Speaking of the piano, I think you should include a part for a piano solo in this song, later on if you continue on it. (I suppose this is unfinished, if not, the ending is way to bad) Good work though. Don't take my rating too serious, I don't want you to give up composing, but believe me, you'll laugh at this when you've been composing for a while! Good luck in the future. ^.^

+ Ambiance
+ Choice of Instruments
- Orchestration
- Lenght
- The piano

65/100 - Fairly Good.

I liked this song. The melody is flowing and the harmonies change pitches are just the right times. :) The instrument choice was very good, in my opinion. Fits the piece well. To me, it seemed like more of a forest song than a "soft wind" type of song, but that title fits it almost as well. I very much liked the left hand piano (or whatever bass part that is... :P) Also, as Noir7 said, it does create quite a nice ambience.

The only problems I see are:
-the RH piano seems to be just a bit off sync with the rest of the instruments at a few parts (maybe it's my imagination)
-the piece should be ended either by a cadence or just a home key chord so that it feels like it's come to an end

(Any chance you can post a completed Mp3 soon?)

Good Song ^.^ I like it! The melody got a nice calm touch. The only negative thing I see, is just like Gnomish said the sync (no Gnomish it's not imagination :P).
Not bad for a first composition. ^^

WOWOWOWOW very very VERY good ^_^ expecialy the fact that this is your first composition :D

yep i think this name suits this song better, it's like a hidden village theme ...or something :)

hmmm at around 1:27 or so the piano messes up alittle but by the time it gets to 1:31 it's already fixed :heh: so it's not that much i guess...

i think if you add pan-flute/ flute some what softly in the back ground that will sound pretty good too :think: (not sure...it worked for some of my golden sun midis :sweatdrop:)

all in all you did a very good job :)
