Please consider reviewing as well as posting. Not only does it help balance the number of works on the site, but it helps you get involved! You may think you have nothing to add, but something as simple as "this was cool because of this part" or "something about 0:35 threw me off a bit" does help. Thanks!

Thank you all! I am in school so sorry for a long response. Introducing new material while the old one still going sounds like a plan for me. I'll give you an update when I get around to doing it. I'm a little focused on school, apparently Statistics is hard. -

Thank you so much for this review! You are much better schooled in this than I am (self taught, I compose by ear). So I'm humble that you took the time to listen and respond. And that you gave me some positive criticism that will help me develop my work 🙂 -

A good orchestral composition with bad orchestration choices will never give you the great result you had in mind. So you need to learn some basic skills of orchestration. That means you have to read some stuff (I highly recommend The Principles of Orchestration by Rimsky Korsakov), analyse film scores and learn to transcribe. In this video I'll address my orchestration choices which I made while writing the orchestral music track Show Opener. Hopefully they are worthy to you. -

Great piece, two notes that you might want to consider: 1. The layout is kind of weird, I'd keep things in one stave (say, instead of three clarinet lines I'd put them as three voices when split and write "div" before and "unis" after), also I wonder why you put the percussion at the lower staves. Usually it's the strings. I'd get it if they had a way bigger role than the strings, but it's fairly the same. Which brings me to the second point: 2. Why won't you let the strings have an important role in the piece? I mean, it's bar-sized notes most of the time. I understand that you might not want to give them the bigger stage but this... try and open the notes from the first violinist's view and see what he sees.
