A book tune with violin by TripleS. If you don't like moody slow songs, go away.

amazing

Too slow of a beginning to be Don Quixote. It sounds more like a soldier, eager for battle, marching, then reaching the battle and realizing all that he misses. He is faced with hunger, long treks, but then reaches victory, only to have the war prolonged farther still. But the adventure continues, and where it leads, the adventurer follows.

Great job, and keep it up
-The Bravo Fox

Reminiscent of an opera

Feels like Don Quixote embarking on a quest.....

I must say, most of your work is impressive, what software did you use to compose it, out of curiosity?

All I can say is that this is a beautiful song with a natural quality, as if it was performed using real string instruments. Yet I worry that some classical music zero-voters will get a hold of this as it becomes more popular.

Very nice.

The first one and a half minutes have an epic quality to me. I can envision companions riding swiftly on horseback to a city far away. Very well done.

I see.. I had that thought, actually. Glad you enjoyed it.

Wonderfull again

Hy Bosa!

Lately I try to keep my eye - and mostly my ears - on your classical music. And I never hesitate to review any new one of yours. So here it goes:

I must say you definitely got a unique melody-style. It's almost like a dissonant one but still grabs the fielsd of nice, flowing and dreamy melodies.

You described this song as a slow and moody one. But the start was rather dinamic for my. The staccato strings have great power in my opinion.

And after these the slow strings coming again. I'm blown away again. As the volume level rose I thought that this song is almost like an epic soundtrack/filmscore music. Beautifull job.

That 4/4 drums and the staccato violins were a bit wrong I think. They should be more in the background or should be layered on the slow melody more soflty. They were a bit to hars and interrupted the beautifull melody too roughly.

The dinamic vins after that was having a great amount of energy again. I liked quite a lot: really adventureous and happy tune - But the solo vin part had some dissonant mometns I think.
The slow part at the end was again beautifull.

My bigest problem is that the songs mood is not really fitting the title. I can't really imagine the situation you discribed in the title - only at the points of the slow strings but the tunes are rather happyer than sad. But never mind this it's only me. I think this song is still great and I liked it a lot.

Keep it up Bosa! (voted 5)

Bosa responds:

Hm.. yes.. Well, you see, I tried to make most of the song slow and moody, and try to keep the fast paced children away from it so they wouldn't zero bomb it. Yet, if somebody votes five on your song, it gets zero bombed immediantly. It shows that the truly good songs are being ignored. People don't even listen anymore.
