The melody line was interesting in the range of skips you used. The bassoon (?) was almost too loud in my headphones as a bass line, but nice in its role as melody instrument. I liked the drop out of all instruments but the bassoon at the end.

yes I thank you for your comments.. I was hoping to bring out some of the instruments that are often more in the background but I may have over accomplished that. I know it is lacking in areas but I hope, if I get time to keep working with orchestra pack... that future pieces will be tighter. I'm glad you dropped by.

Liked the sinister horns and woodwinds in this. The second half with the snare drum works especially well. A good reflective piece of music with great mood.
Best,
Bowman

thanks Bowman, I like that interpretation... it was actually an attempt to capture a feeling about my father who was a WWll vet... Navy, Midway. He left us early in 1986 but a better father and good man could not be found. With me at his side, he would watch old war movies trying to recapture pieces of some missing puzzle, I think, of the carnage. Maybe he was just memorializing some lost friends. I will never forget seeing his eyes well up when ever he heard the Navy Hymn..... " Hear us when we pray to thee... for those in peril on the sea..."

thank you for dropping by.

And somber with an epic feel. I think you put a lot of heart into this.
