Hi Stephen. Another enjoyable listen A lot of interest and complexity again which I really like. A lot of orchestral colour here too which complements the whole piece. I also like your interesting harmony. Well done and thanks for sharing - Derek

Hi Stephen, has been a long time...
Hope you are ok and it was my pleasure to listen to this.
Interesting strings arrangement and original interplay with the other instruments; original melodic structure... very well done, my friend.
Thanks for sharing and take care,
Corrado

Now this is a wonderful change of music to listen to. I love classical, and what you've created here is so relaxing. It has a lovely string ensemble with that fantastic piano weaving throughout the realm of the strings, the cello is a hit, stands out, a brilliant sound mix but most of all -the arrangement is excellent. I feel the pensive pulsating lively mood creating a warm atmopshere that has completely altered my senses being one with this music; no distractions; I'm right there in the swell of swaying sounds that stir the imagination. I see visions, which could make this great for a film soundtrack. Like the horn sound addition also, by the way. This is worth many listens. Into my faves it goes.
SUPERB Stephen. How could I have missed this. Wonderful. It fills my evening with warmth and delight.

Thank you very much Mike. High praise indeed from an artist of your caliber.
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I am an amateur composer. Being a rather quiet man, I really don't like talking about myself. Besides, this is about music, not about me. If you would like to know more about me, just ask. I hope you enjoy listening to my little burnt offerings. That is why I compose...for your enjoyment.</span></p>
