I really like the folksy quality of this piece and your use of melody throughout this. At times, I felt the music was a bit slow but you kept it moving nicely good work.

So, I've changed the title to "Soaring Against the Sky", and have made a few alterations, but nothing big for now. I got Finale to do "correct" chromatic glissandos, and redid the recording, and then layered the old version and this new one together (I was attempting to make it sound like more than one person playing so the glissandos weren't exact, and it sort of worked). Everything we've talked about is good to go or has a note to watch out for it during rehearsals, which will take place on the 24th of August. In response to the whole glissando problem we've all had, I knew there was a setting somewhere for it. In Human Playback Preferences, if you go to the selection for glissandos, you'll see it defaults to Automatic. To get this effect, you just set it to Chromatic instead. I fudged Automatic and Chromatic together because I think that's more realistic (as no two people ever play the gliss the same exact way). Gives it a nice effect. I also tried to dumb down how loud the percussion appeared to be during the Taps, and I might have them cross it out. Once we have performed it, I'll be going back to rework it to a more "standardized" instrumentation, so any changes between here and there will certainly show up here.
