Summary of overal piece...

This track would play during a

It is good. I really don't know what else to say - it's 3:30 AM and I don't feel like thinking that much (I was just looking for some mindless listening).

But whatever, here's some criticism:

I didn't like the brass at all and think that it is horrible for a dream sequence. Beyond this, I found that near the end the piece just started to ramble, with random notes and motifs thrown in that didn't add to the "battle" or "dream" elements of the piece. Overall I think that you could strengthen this piece by making the last minute more coherant and by reducing your dependance on brass.

However, I did enjoy it for the most part and think that as long as you are happy with it and think that it fits your novel, my opinion shouldn't matter.

Cheers.
