Hey Marius,
Thanks for posting. I see what you mean about the trumpet. The sample is a little harsh and I may have mixed it a bit loud compared to the rest of the piece. However, it does help with the heavy dissonances so I will mix it lower and double it with some warmer instruments or I can lower it and arrange the horns to play in unison and raise there volume since they will produce a smooth layer over or behind the trumpet.
I agree that this piece is more of a cue than a standalone piece. In a sense I was going for that although I recognize that as a double edged sword.
I also see the orchestration communicating issue. I left the melody to the woodwind and the brass with small sections of piano. The strings as well as the horns played resonance and harmony for basically the entire piece. The 2nd part of the piece the strings plays the same notes but as rythm. I did purposely do this though I realize it isn't the most advance method of orchestration.
Well, thanks for the detailed critique. It is greatly appreciated. (Glad you liked the glocks.

Hey Ron,
Thanks for the enthusiasm. Glad you liked the snare and the piece.
I like the trumpet too, it just needs a little work on the mixing side.
Thanks for posting.
