Jason,

This is moving. I like the chord progressions, and the pauses are effective. This a progression of emotion ranging from reflective and thoughtful to somber. It makes me feel as if someone ius reflecting on difficult times, but has to find the resolve to move on. The only critique I would have is that it doesn't seem to really resolve at the end, taking the listener into a different note altogether when I was listening for the progression to work it's way back home. Very emotional, so you've accomplished your goal. Definitely a good piece for underscoring a moving scene on film.

...and I'd say you hit the mark. It's beautiful, moving and deep.

But I do agree with Rick that there's a slight lack of resolution at the end.

...for demonstrating emotion through music. This piece, and "Sunrise" both have contemplative moods.

Your chord progressions are reminiscent of such American composers as Copland, Barber and Hovahness.

I look forward to hearing more of your compositions. Experiment with more variety in mood, texture and perhaps more "upbeat" and catchy rhythms.

However, this kind of music is very restful and meditative, and you could do an entire album of it and sell successfully at New Age bookstores.

I'm a sucker for emotive strings, so this is right up my alley. Soundtracks are my thing, so this sounds to my ear to be the genuine article.:)
