Again another great piece, however I felt as if their should have been another movement after this one. The third movement was so heavy I think it needs another one to lighten it up. This did have all the characteristics of a third movement of a four or more movement piece so another movement my prove beneficial to this piece.
I really liked the returning motif of the piece and the slow pace of it in contrast to the second movement. Overall i liked all three movements now that I have heard them. like I said before I think it would really round out the piece if there was another movement but that just me.
Great Job.

An excellent listen;there's lots to like about this music. You write wonderfully for the ensemble, which isn't an easy thing to do. All the instrumental lines suit the instruments and you make good use of typical and contrasting tessituras to create some lovely sounds. I liked the harmonies and cadences, I'm hearing a lot in the way of secundal harmonies which is a fresh sound. Likable melodies musical ideas which are developed nicely. My only criticism is that at times, the development may work theoretically, but from the standpoint of the listener doesn't always work as well. Still, I very much enjoyed this and applaud your efforts!
