My Ensemble Works

Hey, here are some of my ensemble works. Please give me some comments and criticisms. Thanks.

PS: The waltz is an arrangement from the string quartet I uploaded earlier, and it's faster paced and more lively.

Serenade - This has a nice lovely opening. It is softly Romantic in texture. The entrance of the violin is enchanting. You've definitely managed to capture a pastorale mood in this work. I can feel myself being gently held by another as we slowly dance through a forest scene with flower petals ffalling around us. My head rests on my partner's shoulder as we dance.

At least this is the image that this piece places in my mind. I can feel these things in the music, and that I like a great deal. You've managed to paint an emotional scene quite well! Great job!

Waltz - Ah, yeah, here's an upbeat but stately dance. I could almost imagine hearing this played at a court function. But somehow, it's a little too playful to get away wit that.

I heard your Serenade, and i must say im pretty impressed! ok so, into details:

Nice intro on the piano, very emotional. the violin is good and the pizzicato works well later with the flute (and in the instruments joining). the melody is very beautiful. and then again at 1:37 the piano solo is great. the melodies are repeated very nice! the fulte and piano 2:51 was nice too, but in the melodies around 3:17 i heard some dissonance, wich i thought was not fitting. later on it picks up very well with the main melody again. the ending was very emotional too.

A great job! keep this up!
