Description
This is meant to sound like a fantasy soundtrack. In my mind it was about someone looking at the horizon of a world that is still new to this character.
Originally it was more melancholic but the image used as theme made me want to change the atmosphere to something more happy.

Message from the artist
It is a little rough but it was made with love

Hi! Lovely composition. I felt like you were taking my ears on a  journey and it was very easy to listen and follow along. Harmonically everything sounded great and progressed smoothly and sounded so warm. I am glad to hear variations of the main theme throughout. I think I am in the same camp as Jamil about the droning. It might have been nice to hear these instruments sometimes do something other than holding whole notes or if you can change the timbre throughout the sustain notes to give some player feel or expression to it. The beginning was great as instruments were being introduced, maybe play around with instruments resting and coming back in to change up the energy some? The rhythmic variations, embellishments, and liquidations, of your melodies are so lovely,  it would be great to here that put into playing of the instruments carrying the harmony as well! Thanks for creating and submitting! It was a wonderful listen!

This is quite a lovely orchestral piece. The clapping makes me think of it being like part of a dance, which helps with your description of wanting it to sound more happy and upbeat. I am also quite impressed with the musesound quality. One particular highlight for me is the instrument change-up at 2:36. That reed instrument sounds so clear with really beautiful runs. I have recently played Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and there are several cues while calmly exploring the monastery that this reminds me of. I think it certainly fits the category of a sunny spring-time fantasy day. Good job on this and thank you for sharing your music!

Really liked it.
It reminded me a bit of the feeling of watching Pans Labyrinth.
That was very much my headcanon while listening to your piece. 
I also liked the claping together with the Orchestral Timbre.
Small Advice:
I heard a lot of drony Strings, Brass and Woods.
Remember that real players also have to breathe sometimes :)
You write differently with that in mind and i think it usally gives me a better result other than that great work.

"It reminded me a bit of the feeling of watching Pans Labyrinth"

 it is the best compliment I could have got thanks


And yes, I am a flute player so I noticed it would be not easy for real people but it was already too late lol but I will try to take it in consideration more frequently in the future

Composition definitely delivers the fantastical feel! Though I think there could be a bit more variety for the percussion outside of the claps, but overall I liked it!!! Great work :)
