I have just stumbled across this thread whilst looking for some ideas for a minimalist piece i have to write for a secondary school. and i think its such a shame that no one has commented! So i know this was posted a long while ago, but i wanted to comment!

You are right that it seems many people on this forum have some dislike for minimalism, if any of the other posts are anything to go by!

I think this piece is great! It is one of the few minimalist pieces on this forum, that i have seen, that has really tried hard to employ key minimalist techniques, with the static tonal centre, repeated, slightly varied rhythms etc etc. It sounds very Steve Reich actually. I hope you don't mind, but i'll be using your sib files as a starting point for my own composition, so thanks for the inspiration!

My favorite section of your piece is Fantasia, you have managed to add a Baroque like sound into a minimalist piece, which is great, especially as i love baroque music!

I really must get started on my own composition, however if you are still on this forum, i'd love to discuss what techniques you used etc.

Good Stuff!
