Hi everyone! This is my first vocal/choral work to post here so far (If I don´t count a jazz song with my vocals which I´ve posted in the jazz section before). I wrote this one for strings, piano and soprano, for a talented Croatian singer Hana Huljić who also happens to be a great composer aswell. However, this is still a demo and the singer on this demo did not have any experiences with singing opera before and she is not a soprano, so it was a bit high for her, but I still love her performance very much. She´s a friend of mine and was very willing to sing the demo for Hana, I´m very thankful to her. I always loved Ave Maria songs, especially the Schubert one, and I always wanted to write one myself one day, and the day has come. Since there are so many Ave Maria already, I decided to write it for "Zdravas Mária" which is the Slovak equvivalent of the prayer. Please let me know how you like it!

Overall, nice! I like the restful mood, which obviously needs to represent dreaming. The variations on the theme / harmony are nice. I do, however, think that the ending is too abrupt. A coda or final section would improve the piece. The audio is pretty confusing, because the left hand sounds more like a guitar, but this issue is of course fixed when it is performed on a real piano.

Pleasant piece! I will be honest, if you were going for a pure classical period, then I'm not sure if this falls into that category. It sounded a little too....free to be strict classical. But then again, it's music, so nothing wrong with that, just thought I'd point out what I saw/heard. Good job, and I hope that you can get some musicians to play this for you so you can hear what it with live instruments (always so much fun).
