Holy scraggy this is great! No complaining from me. Solid fun stuff. Is there anyway I can download this anywhere?

Of course "Plumsy the Puffins Midnight Flight" is an appropriate name to the piece! Much more fun than "Brass Chamber in F" =)

Yes yes yes! I like this a lot. I love the modulation of things behind the repetitive percussion. You also get a running through the streets of Ciro vibe going at one point. It would be great to hear a band play it. When the vibes double the melody it give it a very cool fell.

Benxiwf...thanks for your kind words! I am in the process of doing a little bit of a different arrangement for a performance of the piece in may. I agree about using a bit more percussion but I am not totally sure where. Any thoughts? I also agree about the players getting bored holding out the notes but that is how it is in my head. Thanks again.

:29 is a little break from the intro. There will be more choir. This is the first time I have written for choir. I really like it! Any suggestion on choir writing?

This sounds like Lady Ga Ga(not a bad thing)

It would be awesome to have piano darting in and out mimicking all that is happening. Very cool!

This is a piece I am working on for a class and I would like some thoughts on it. I know it repeats and repeats. I have a love hate relationship with minimalist music. There is something about it that amazes me and there is something about it that I hate. But it shows up in my writing. No score as of now but instrumentation is.4 Flutes, 2 Vibes, 2 Marimba, Bells, Celesta, bass Clarinet, Piano, and a Choir. Please give me some thoughts/ideas. Also DO NOT LISTEN PAST 2:50....I did realize the file went on and on and on. Sorry. Also I seem to be writing in A Major like crazy these days. Any ideas on a name? Work in progress

The intro sounds like something I cant quite put my finger on. It has a comical darkness going on that is very nice. I agree about it has lots of ideas. I am horrible about having way to many ideas in one piece.

Wonderful. The strings at :45ish are quite sick.

Solid Waltz!

Very nice. Being a very poor pianist it seems like this would be fun to play!

Yes very batman. I really like the Choir. Your play from strings to brass is very nice.

I really like the strings. You have a nice back and forth thing going. When the strings expand a bit around :35 is wonderful. When you break it down to almost all strings is very good. I would keep that part going and expand it. Also Dymanics! They are the ruler of all and everything. I would not be in a hurry to change chords at the end of the piece. Let those chords swell and fade away then change. Loads of potential!

"The J" not sure about the bad note you mentioned at 1:47. The stuff going on around 2:30 should sound like it is about to train wreck. This was the first piece I wrote and listening to it now sounds like it was my first piece. I had a read through of the piece a few weeks ago and it did not go well but the final chord at the end sounded sooooooo good! I do think there are some good ideas here but over all it is not great. Thanks for the thoughts everyone!
