Very Nice~!

I'm into this. That woodwind was too high pitched for a flute or tin whistle, but was also too low pitched for a piccolo; help out here. It could have used some slides to give it more celtic feelings.. I'm sure you know how to do this if it is was real, but if it isn't, then I can't help you there.

More onto this..

I can picture a thing here. It sounds so medieval, I can indeed get a glimpse of life's past in time. But, to describe it would require a book and ten good fingers, instead I have grown weary of work on farmland and my mind has been boggled by questions of faith. No, I cannot describe it now.

The choir with the woodwind actually reminds me of something from Final Fantasy III (U.S.) It was really made out. I've never really tried woodwinds with choir in G. Hm.. I'm going back to the symphony today, perhaps I can get some more ideas of my own up there.

The strings were good and added momentum to the song itself. A plus.

The harp at the beggining, as I have just noticed, is your specialty within your songs. You seem to actually give them a solid tune and note. Unlike what I normally hear. Most composers use harps as backbeats or basslines. But you, you give them a tune and it comes out solid. Good work, friend.

Don't mind my term "friend," all is friendly until I see their truth. Their truth being a good thing, or a bad thing. You see, I treat music like it should be treated. I want to see the audio portal grow and prosper. If there is a chime to this (like the one in your song,) then let it be heard throughout all of newgrounds.

Also, I'm actually averaging my votes now. So it will be a 100% accurate overall vote instead of an unaccurate estimate. This average equals out exactly to 9.

p.s.: If this review gets you rather off foot, then get your balance back and walk strong.

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you Bosa for the review! I appreciated it greatly.

The woodwind you heard in this piece is called the Dizi Flute. It is of oriental origin and I love it because it is as you said, higher then a flute, lower then a piccolo.

I love taking instruments and giving them a role they would not normally take. The harp being one such instrument. I know how they are always used as support, and frankly they can do so much more.

I too like you wish to see the portal prosper. The redesign has promised again and again revolutionairy change. When or if that will even happen is far beyond me. Like a highly anticipated game, it is always just pushed back more and more.

If that day comes, and 0 voting is abolished, Bosa your music will soar, and grab the attention it deserves. For nobody, jealous or ignorant, can damage you then without exposing themselves.

Once again thank you for the review. It has not made me lose my balance at all, and I will continue to walk strong for however long these legs would carry me. I am glad you liked this piece ^^.
