I love this combination of woodwinds! Not only do woodwinds feel nice forest-like, but it is also nice and upbeat which fits the dancing, silly nature of the gnomes. It is a nice composition and feels quite "full" for only three instruments. It feels quite "classical", and I like it. I see you also really use those 'dynamics' well, which is something I've gotten a bit scared of and should really try more often. Great inspiration to give it a try again! Nice entry :D

Artist notes
This is a submission for "Broken Telephone Jam #6" wherein participants are invited to work on a song given an artwork prompt. The artwork is "Whimsy Dancer of the Mystic Undergrowth" by Amanda Fernandes. The art depicts a dancing fantasy gnome with a wild beard and has warm, earthy colors. I felt that a cheerful tune played by a small ensemble would best represent the whimsical character and to rep the earthy colors I stuck with reed instruments.
