^ Hey guys, thanks for the levelheadedness (not to mention the politeness). I haven't noticed any of Justin's posts before, so I thought maybe he was just having a rough day or something. But I guess this does explain the Merlin/angels/Romans bit. o.O
I indeed do usually write fairly accessible music, which of course isn't very highly regarded in the "classical music" world. I suppose it's because I used to write inaccessible and even experimental music (never for the sake of inaccessibility, mind you), but most people just didn't like it. Most people I know just listen to what's on pop and rock radio stations, so "orchestral music" is far enough of a stretch. >_<
Nonetheless, I have more than enough "easy music" for any casual listener who would want to give my music a listen, so I think I've finally gotten that out of my system, and from now I can write music that challenges the listener, rather than appealing to their sentimentality...

Anyways, yeah, I'm definitely going to stop repeating melodic patterns without enough "obvious" modification. The piano part in the middle is definitely too long (though, does it seem misplaced? The instrumentation does take a sharp turn...).
