I've only had a chance to listen to two of them so far. I hope you weren't looking for any advice since I'm an inexperienced newbie composer (~3 months) but your stuff is amazing.

Requiem, Dies Irae -- First, wow! Incredible energy and beautiful harmonies flowing together. You did an incredible job of building suspension throughout... which I've been trying to do, unsuccessfully . This was amazing and kept my attention 100% throughout. And I like strong, definite endings. However, it made me wonder about the title 'requiem' because (and I'm not too sure) but isn't that a song for the dead that's supposed more of a hymn-like dirge??

Wanderers Nachtlied -- A beautiful soothing little song. The melody was good. However, I was mostly impressed by how you were able to have a piano accompaniment which was both consistent throughout but still interesting. Whenever I use a consistent piano accompaniment and I later try to change it up a bit it ends up suddenly sounding strange; so great job. My only possible suggestion: I would lengthen out the ending and, possibly, add a ritard (which you might likely use in an actual performance rather than a midi) so one could be fully pulled in by its beauty at the end.

Amazing stuff and I"m definitely going to listen to the rest when I have time! Keep composing!! *squirms in jealousy* ... ... Amazing compositions!!!
