I like the pensive mood at the beginning and the celtic vibe. It sounds very peaceful, and the flute and (lute?) blend very well together. The progression is a little slow, though, and the instrument that comes in at :43 is playing a melody that doesn’t fit very well into the existing harmonic and rhythmic framework. Still, the melody in isolation sounds nice. There’s quite a bit of reverb in the texture, and the percussion and harmonies tend to get a little drowned out by the melodic instrument. The excessive reverb is perhaps even more noticeable on the bass drum at 1:40. The texture sounds rather muddy, despite the majesty of the horn solos. The piece still has a soothing sense of continuity, although at some point I would’ve liked to hear some more structural contrast and ebb and flow to the composition. The current collage of solos as a paradigm for arrangement for a while, but this piece is long enough that I think you need to have more shape and complexity in the way it’s structured. Clearly, you have a good sense of melody and sound design, though. I also like how the instruments besides the serene flute riff gradually fall away towards the end. Overall, the composition is pretty strong here, along with the mood and atmosphere, but elements of the arrangement and, especially, the production quality need work. Keep at it, Rosemthornz! :)
