This piece is based off of a melody that I came up with recently. Originally written for a brass quintet, but I think the picture is painted better in a string quintet. If you want to get musically technical, it is based off of the Db Major Pentatonic Scale. Anyways, it might also remind you of the country China, as they base their music off of the scale mentioned earlier. Anyways (again), feedback is much appreciated as well as honest ratings and suggestions and all of that lovely stuff. So please, listen and enjoy, Colors of the Mountains.

well done sir

i noticed u asked for suggestion and feedback so here goes:
this piece definatly gave the image of a chinese rural area, so the imagery you used was spectacular. the instrument choice couldve been worked on a bit to reflect more of an oriental feel, and i realize this may have been more of the writing programs fault than yours, but parts such as :30-:42 didnt really seem to sound too pretty from the slow violin sound. the cello soli around 1:35 didnt really seam to sound pleasing at all to be honest. u definatly did do well with a pentatonic scale, as its often hard to make the transition for alot of composers to go from western to oriental music

gorgeous

i love love love oriental sounding music.i feel that a little bell, a few little twangs on a koto, or other equally oriental sounding instrument would add so much. even a gong or deep timpani. the melody is beautiful! if you just bring a few more chinese elements into the mix it could be quite an epic orchestral piece. i think an even deeper cello or bass would fill it out quite a big. BIG props for the melody line and the smoothness. You can just kind of zone out into your own little zen garden to this song.
