Outstanding piece. Really. There isn't much I can say about it. As for coherency: I give it a 10. As for instrumental capabilities: I give it a 10. As for Theme originality: I give it an 8. Why? Because it seems like a generic military theme. Orchestration/Instrument parts: 9. Why? Because the horn writing was fantastic, but it was just that. Aside from the beginning trombone exposition, it seemed like the horns dominated the piece. Harmonic variety: 4. Why? Em... i V i V from what I heard. Mabye some slight changes here and there. Thematic variety: 8 why? Given the length of the piece, there isn't much you could have done with the theme. Mabye you could increase the length. Also, I loved the smooth chorale in the middle, but it was all horn again.
Overall, in my opinion, I give it a: 49/60 ... but it isn't your fault... I understand this was meant to be a short piece. So.. I really liked it.
