"Real orchestra"
date: March 24, 2006
I love the sound of a real orchestra! Haha, I'm the first to review! Mwahaha!
Anyway. I'm still listening...I like the plaintive string at the beginning. And then that jolly tune, or something. That's nice. I'm very appreciative of classical music like this.
The song really creates a mood. This sounds incredibly professional. It actually sounds like a cross between a symphonic movement and some kind of orchestral film song. It's very cool.
I just can't stop listening to this song lol.
The use of strings is very good.
I don't know much about sonata form. Or sonatas either. But cool sonata.
Dude, I wish I could get an orchestra to play my songs! That would freaking rock! Actually, I haven't made any orchestral songs...but back to your song...
Still listening...The ending is very good. Liked it a lot.
I feel there should have been a moment in the song where there was a burst of energy, where the strings go insane. But maybe you wanted it calm and stuff. I don't know. Maybe you can work on something like that in the next movement.
Well, there, a review. Check out my work sometime!

Thanks rocky for the feedback. I agree I should have had a longer climax to the piece. I wrote this very quickly over the course of about 3 days as I was trying to meet the deadline for the orchesta competition. I was lucky to win the competition and get this recorded performance. I have a better quality version on http://www.myspace.com/davidmielochcomposer
