Thank you so much for the warm words! I came across the original melody by chance on You Tube, and immediately fell in love with it. So I decided I had to use it for this project.

Hi Mark. This piece has a programmatic quality that I enjoy. Like some of your other works, it feels quite militaristic due to percussion (especially the drum rolls). I imagine an epic battle; or perhaps a series of skirmishes. Maybe it could benefit from some vibraphone, to fill out the music where the texture is sparse? I went to a vibraphone and clarinet concert last week, where the vibraphonist played a series of glissandi, with one stick rising up the keys, and the other simultaneously descending. Quite an effective technique that I'd never heard before. Anyway, just a suggestion. Alex

Thank you very much Mark, I really appreciate your opinion.

Thanks!
