that was fine for the lay-out, I'm only looking, not listening for now.
nice short theme. cor anglais and bassoon will make a VERY "reedy" sound. but It should work beautifully.
your chord I'm a bit less convinced of, however.
notice that you're doubling all the most prominant woodwinds together in the same register: flutes, oboe and clarinets. there's nothing patently wrong with the chord, I can definately see its use in an orchestral context.
I would have prefered something a little more "traditionally" orchestrated
care to give it another go? with a 3-note chord (either major or minor as per the instructions))
don't worry, we'll get LOTS of chances to try more of this anyways as we go along.
