This is my first composition I wrote for concert band, a suite consisting of four parts that I wrote over the course of several months last year. I would really appreciate if someone could provide me with some feedback on this piece.

First off I noticed that their first movement was a nice little 6/8 waltz I really enjoyed it. The music does scream one last dance, and the first movement ends with unison, making everything more stronger.

The 2nd movement is subtitled as longing assuming which is probably this piece is some sort of love story, or something with the connection of love or something like that it starts off slow and with the feeling of longing with various woodwind features placed throughout and I do in particular like the ending where the theme is played in a processional March

 

The third movement was a bit more joyous and provided relief. I do like mixed meter stuff which you did very well and it had that typical concert band type feel to it with syncopated rhythms and runs and also is in major.

The final movement definitely had the sound that you would hear in like a movie or something, but then it goes to its original theme with the galloping rhythm and I do like the Rubato on the winds. 
 

I do find that the euphonium does stand out a bit other than that the orchestration is really great, but definitely mix down the euphonium so it blends better in the playback anyways great work
