Emotions - Soundtrack with Orchestra

Hi guys!
I am new to this forum! Great posts. I can definitely learn a lot and meet cool people. I hope 😉 

I have attached my new soundtrack "Emotions '69" as a greeting. I composed it for my mother's birthday and presented it at a live performance.

Happy 2020 everyone!

This sounds wonderful. And you must be young for your mother to be only 50. I bet she had a great birthday with this piece of music. 

First instance of IV is jarring because of the orchestration. 
Counterpoint in the first section after the riser is awkward. Too many rhythmic layers. Plucked sound is weirdly prominent. 
Transition to D minor was very smooth, though I get the feeling you're running out of things to say with it, since there's not much real development.
Your drum section seems to kind of build to nothing? C minor was an unexpected new key center, because of Ab's b5 relation to Dm.
