Excellent
ok, first of all in my review to Centurion I meant to say "MORE ornamentation", not LESS.
Now then, onto this submission. Basically, I love it! I especially like the beginning, and the middle. It's very subtle and elegant. You're right, this would make excellent music for a flash by a talented artist. Maybe I'll try something one day... just don't expect it anytime soon - I've been working for something like a year on my first animation & it's still not released yet. ;)
Again, though, your ending is a bit weak and it kinda loses its direction... it doesn't make everything come together as it should. Definitely something to work on. Having just a single Oboe playing is not really the best way to end a piece, in my opinion... it doesn't feel like the story has really come to a conclusion; like there's been any revelation. This one certainly deserves a high score, though - you get a "5" from me. :)
By the way, since I'm new to this - is there any way that I can view my past reviews to audio tracks in the audio portal? It's just that I have no idea how to save pieces that interest me... with flash I often do it by reviewing the work, which means I can find it by searching through my reviews, but can I do something like that in the Audio Portal?
