"Hello there, Marcel and greetings. I too am a recent new member and realise there's a lot to learn from this forum. Sorry to learn of your injury and hope you recover enough to play again soon. It must be so frustrating. However, every bit of…"

"Hello again. There are a few youtube videos attempting to explain this mode, a few geared to popular music and guitar but one that included a passage in Phrygian is -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaZLwBej49M Another one explains it as dark…"

"Yes. Cinematic music may get the composer's name on the credits but it has to be subservient to the film. That was the trouble Villa-Lobos had with his "Green Mansions" score and why it had to be taken out of his hands. He later and…"

"A great little piece. Happy, easy going. I think it's fun to write for unusual combinations of instruments and this works well in that in performance a group would get any balance issues sorted out. The combination works for me - two…"

" A very nice piece - I'd class it as light music which we need more of! What makes it satisfying is the energy and easy harmonic flow moving through many different regions - I noticed an augmented 6th at one point! I think it's time…"

"Well done in every respect - adept scoring, fulfils the brief absolutely The only problem I had is that it almost makes a concert piece in its own right and would make an excellent ballet piece. Certainly a streets ahead of most of the soundtrack…"

"Also agree. Counterpoint - well, I'm perhaps traditional - it's about two or more voices sounding together but are independent tunes in themselves. It's possible to study by yourself but I'd suggest "species…"

"The quality, the mixing and the mastering sounds really good for me, the dance of cellos is very interactive and connecting,  liked the language that the different layers speak together..., thanks for sharing. All the best Islam"

"Unfortunately not readable"

"Looks like it didn't load (or retain) my mpg. I did check after loading it and it was there but... ."

"A pleasant relaxing piece, effective because of its simplicity and about the right length. Any longer and it would become hypnotic (which is perfectly fine if that were your aim). The second half rocks between a tonal centre of F# minor and…"

"Well, I'll try... Obviously in the general timescale I can’t study the score enough to comment on much detail - LOL, I’ve learned most of my orchestration from studying scores to see how they did it! But I was most impressed with…"

"Here's the score. "

"If I can. It's one long pdf. I'm not ready to buy Adobe's offering as that would cost me about £50 per score the way I work so I did this one in photoshop.  There's no melody, just a few motifs. The harmony is simple…"

"Hi Dane, It's lively and bouncy, with a decided western flavor. I had a little trouble following the melody and structure of it, possible to upload a score? Gav"

"What a lovely piece. I think the rendering is more than OK, pretty good sound for my ears. The music is lively, engaging rhythm and appealing themes. The ending is a bit abrupt though. Maybe adding some coda? Nice music. Cheers"
