Really enjoyed listening to it. You're very good at layering the strings/brass. Not sure why you're always downplaying your songs - just assuming it's sarcasm there. :P
Reviews for "A Girl's Champion"
Bosa responds:
Lol you know me too well now.
I feel like you were beating yourself up too much. If you wouldn't have said anything, I wouldn't have even questioned it until you faded everything out except for the glockenspiel (holy cow, I spelled it correctly on my first try). Everything else sounds so beautiful. I'd say that it sounds like professional music.
I'll let the judges worry about judging you. I like what I hear.

Bosa responds:
Thanks man! That really means quite a bit actually. It helps to know that I produced something worthwhile at least!
You are too hard on yourself, Bosa. I will grant you that there's a reason why nearly every artist is his or her own worst critic, but there's also a reason why you're generally known as King Bosa.
Like everyone's comments below, I too, enjoyed what I heard. The one thing that I will point out is that the glockenspiel (thanks Spadezer for the spelling) had a little too much reverb to it and was a little painful because of the higher notes.
Good luck to you and Kor, sire.
Bosa responds:
Well, all I can say is that I am happy that I at least submitted something! When I finish this song I hope to give people something they will never forget.
This is killer! The mixing levels are actually really good considering you had a short time to finish this and the theme works wonderfully!
Can't believe you almost didn't submit this. You cheeky thing! :)
Bosa responds:
Yes sometimes I can make mistakes lol, but thank you for the kind words! I really did the best I could do, so I am glad that there is at least some fruit from my labor.
This is a NGADM "Round of 16" Review!

I can see the difference between this and something you'd usually make. It doesn't have lots of the subtle details you usually throw in that make it polished and realistic. It's a shame because I think it's a good piece. I had to remove half a point because it's short - also a consequence of not having time to finish. To add to that, the fade-out ending is disappointing too.
I was sorry to hear you weren't able to finish, Bosa, I know you're a very capable composer and orchestrator.
What you did do well, though, is making lush, beautiful melodies right from the start. The whole thing flows overwhelmingly well, weaving a heart-warming image of peace at the beginning to something more powerful as the music progresses. I love how you weave the different instruments together at the start, you're such a pro. I'm envious of people who can do that, I'm a much more straight-forward kind of composer and those details and techniques elude me.
Please send me a PM when this is done (I mean it), I want to hear the final version (and to download a copy!). If you upload it as a separate piece I'll review that one too.
Bosa responds:
I will do it.
