Hey all,
Decided to update this piece. Harmonies are still a bit off, and theres a section I think I could exploit the melody a little more, but I'm a lot happier with this, especially the second section. I hope this piece is a lot more evocative of imagery than my other ones, because this is the first time I'm actually trying to depict a scene. Either way, it may not translate. Please comment!
