I'm not too sure about the basson in the first one...

In the second I re-orchestrated a melody from another piece of mine. In that piece it uses tuba and very low bassoons so it is very plodding and heavy. In this I tryed to make it a bit light but still kind of keep a little of the 'plod' if you know what I mean. Hence the high bassoon.

The third one I had most problems with, is it ok?

Thanks for giving up your time to do this, I really appreciate this.

ok, in exercise 1, be careful, your Oboe is too low in the low register.

exercise 2 , very good. flute and bassoon is a mixture I particularly like in my own music. hehehe

exercise 3, that's a very pretty chord. I think to reinforce the bass I might have placed the bass clarinet on an A an octave lower (sounding G in bass clef, between the two bassoons)

the flute sound comes out very clearly in the texture.

If you want to try again for something different, try to think of how you would re-orchestrate that same chord to blend the instruments more fully.

take into consideration the added elements of stacking, enclosing, enbricking and overlapping we have now added to our vocabulary in the latest lesson.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
