Great job! I really liked that guitar intro, and following part was also really nice - I've got Harry Potter vibes :P

One thing is, the guitar and the rest felt like two separate pieces. I liked both, but they have too little connection imo.

Thanks for your feedback! Yep, the thing in common is the main theme essentially, but maybe I could try to merge them in a more cohesive way...

Many thanks!

Awesome work!! I wish the guitar carried through the song more though!!

More people are saying the same, so maybe I should do a future version with more guitar presence hahaha

Many thanks for your comment and feedback!

Guitar intro is excellent! Would have loved to hear more of that as the song developed. The harmonies you build across the different instruments are beautiful as well!

Glad you liked the guitar! I'm a guitar player so that part was the easiest to work on for me hahah

Many thanks for your comment!

Loved the guitar part. Woodwinds and strings did nicely for building things up as the song grew.

Many thanks for your kind comment!

I see your vision here! I love the movement, though I believe you could have mixed this a little more thoroughly because I'm losing the cello melody with the imposing bass line. Well done!

I see, I'm still learning to mix well and sometimes is difficult to get the good balance. Many thanks for the feedback!

Nice job!  I liked the how the woodwinds were playing at the end, mixing well with the string part.

Really like the guitar intro, though I felt the transition to the symphonic section could've been smoother (perhaps introduce the wind pedalpoint as the guitar phrase is ending?). Symphonic section is well orchestrated. String melody is adventurous and I like the clarinet counterpoint. Cello provides a nice warm texture.

Many thanks for your detailed feedback! Very glad you like it.

I agree with your comment on the guitar-wind transition, it's a bit sharp. It's sometimes difficult for me create transitions between sections. Appreciate your suggestion of the pedalpoint, I'll try in the future. Many thanks! :D
