I agree fully. I didn't really want the tension to resolve, in fact, when it ended, I wanted more tension! "Is that all?!" was the thought going through my mind. However, I loved the piece from start to finish. Birth was my favorite section, especially the huge buildup to the climax to the end. I have to agree that the second half was slightly lacking (what it was lacking however, I'm not sure). Also, the second section (I forget the name) seemed to drag on a little bit, with all the repeating lines and what not. If I had written it I probably would have added some more melodic stuff in the bass instruments underneath all the upper woodwind chaos. But hey, it's your piece, not mine.

All in all, great job. There may be some orchestrational flaws, but I'm not one to be all nitpicky with the score analysis and whatnot. It sounds great as it is anyway.
