I Listened to this yesterday and didn't have the time to comment then. To get people here to comment, do exactly what you did with me. Comment on theirs and hopefully they will return the favor.

You have a very nice beginning here, but now the hard work starts.

When doing computerized music, you have to be the conductor. In order to get a good playback, you need tons and tons of dynamics and articulations.

Imagine a horn player. Will he play each note from start to finish at the same loudness? Well, that is what the computer will do unless you tell it differently. Hairpins are something that need to be on almost every note. You need to be constantly changing the dynamics just as a real player would do.

I do all of this in my notation program ( to a degree), but the professionals do this in sequencers and look at every single note played and this is why they get such spectacular results.

I opened this in Notepad, so you may have done more then what showed up in there, but this is where you can really make the music come alive.

I know one guy that writes in Finale and say it takes him 10 hours there. He will spend another 50 hours in a sequencer playing with all of the notes. Getting the attacks just right, the vibrato the way he wants, the modulation of each individual note is worked on.

Believe me, it is a long and sometimes tedious process, but the end product is worth it.

So you have all the raw material here...now you just have to work with it.

Be the conductor!
