Awesome
I must say, I am extremely impressed.
As a classical composer, I put a lot of emphasis on feel and structure of the song, both of which I think you have done very well at.
The slow strings (cello?) you use at the beginning is quite misleading though, I would not have expected to go where it did, though of course that was in no way a bad thing, I like surprises.
You weren't joking when you said it was circus music, I can so hear this there, I absolutely love your use of the percussions, the triangle, snares, the whole works.
In my opinion however, the most powerful part of this song is when you bring back those strings and have that frill flute dancing, it has such an awesome feel to it.
I can't make music like this, I truly appreciated it.
Anything less then a 5/5 would be wrong, so here you go ^^. Keep them coming.
