the Rose of Saron

a simple hymn

a different version (not vocal.....)

Hey frantz,

For the first version, I liked the hymn itself very much, but that organ or harpsichord or whatever it was supposed to be sounds extremely piercing in the MIDI and makes it hard to listen to.

I would recommend you try to create some more recognizable phrasings so that it doesn't sound like a wash of chord progressions. Otherwise, this would make a pretty hymn.

The second version all of a sudden sounds much better. I don't know whether it was just the instrumentation, but this version sounds much more appropriate.

Off the MIDI, I thought I heard some flute notes that were too low for the flute's range, but I may have heard wrong. Also, in the section leading up to 1:15 and even a bit after that, your flute part is absolutely insanely difficult - performers need to breathe!

Overall, I prefer the second version to the first. The instrumentation complements the music more and everything seems to flow better, even if that flute part needs some serious simplifying.

Lovely piece if you work in some of those edits.

maybe the first version didn't work at your computer, shame. try to change the instruments. anyway it is just a little nothing heheheheh i found these pieces lost in my computer and liked some things in them. so here they are.
