Great contrapuntal work! The piece sounds complete, the four voices flow naturally, are easy for the ear to follow, and all are engaging! My only small critiques would be that the four voices might be slightly overused and that a few more silences could make the whole piece feel less dense. Also, I don't think it's necessary to use different types of fermatas in the final measure. Once again, bravo!

@Henry Ng Tsz Kiu No problem I don't think it is careless at all haha! Yes I'm using Musescore 4! Might try some of the librairies they added on musehub in the future but for this project I sticked to the regular musesounds.

@FILMSCORE Thank you very much for your messages! I am teaching piano at the moment, but I have to be honnest... right now I'm not sure where composition is going to lead me. I don't think I want to work in the film industry but never say never! Have a great day Jonathan

@Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Thank you very much for your nice comment! I understand why many parts feel all new from a listener perspective and that is something I have to work on. From my perspective they are not and I can provide a very short analyse. The introduction motive at bar 1 with the strings is the same that start the first cellos solo which is then reused in the fanfare theme. It is reused in some other places but sometime transformed a little bit. At B you have the main theme that you can hear until the clarinet solo. The idea of the introduction is repeated in the begining of G, which then lead to a longer lyrical section at H, which is reminescent of the first cello solo of the piece, altough pretty different I concede! Then this lead to another fanfare section where the brass reuse the same motive from the initial fanfare and the strings have a mix of this motive and the main theme. This lead to the real return of the main theme at J, which is pretty similar to B. For the rest of the piece you can hear these two motives almost everywhere but again it is not striking I concede. F section, as well as the bass clarinet solo, are based on the melodic material from the transition b.38-43. (Sorry for this long message I hope you were not too bored by this analyse... 😅)! Thanks again and have a great day Jonathan
