Very taut and concentric work. Wastes no notes and no time. I do want to hear it again, but I want to focus on MichaelAlex's comment about parts in unison or broken octaves, as well as harmonizing the wind line. This sounds similar to what I did as a teenager in some of my works.
We learn as we continue to write, and improve on what we did. You have a flair for the dramatic, and a nice ear for orchestration. Keep it up...I like what I am hearing.
Very nice work indeed - very cinematic and gripping. Lots of brooding color and dimension. I would have employed a couple of string harmonics to add variety, not to mention some other percussion (roto-toms, bongos). Good music, good performance. Keep up the good writing!
This is quite a nice work - the ending could use a bit more drive and punch, but I want to give it a second listen. Overall you know what to do with this time-honored theme, and the variants does keep the mind focused and the ear attuned to some of your surprises. Would like to see more.
