I think that this work is much modern that it seems to be. What makes it sound (to me) like baroque-classic is the lack of dynamic contrasts and the, not always, but often presence of 8's and 16's... I mean, variation in the pattern with rests or other techniques. In fact it's the same MOnarcheon told you before. Anyvay, it's very nice!

Hi Dustin, Your work is amazing! The melodies, chords, and instruments are great and epic ! I think you can improve more in the general mixing by example there is a strong moment with a crash cymbal and it's a bit shy compared to the level of the other instruments. There's a little lack of power during the epic moments, maybe you can try some staccatos or increase the volume of the low drum? (That's only suggestions and for maybe it can help you for your future works) I think you are really talented, keep going!

A lot of really harshly clashing tones that don't resolve all throughout this piece. Examples: :11, poor resolution of higher voice tones. :15, poor resolution of higher voice tones. :17, this would be okay if it shot off to something else but it doesn't... it goes right back to the same atmosphere. :23, clarinet A# is a bad resolving tone. One needs to understand regular classicism to understand neoclassicism, there's just a lot of modulations, rather than a proper sustained line through the whole thing. Prokofiev's Classical Symphony is a must for you to listen to. There's also a lot of repeated material which does get tiring after a little bit. Think of it like a rondo where the A theme is there and comes back, but isn't overwhelming.
