Castle Grounds for Concert Band - One of my first "official" compositions

[Eric Fregoso]

Hey all, I just joined the forums recently :) I would like to share my most recent piece:

I've recently completed, in what I think is my best work. The piece uses standard concert band instrumentation (high school wind band). Took me about 5 weeks or so of writing, but I started on it around 2015 as a sort of random thing I made. I really don't know what else to say about it, but I am open to suggestions, criticism, etc as I want to be able to create pieces that can sell!

Thank you for reading

Eric...

You should indeed be proud.  Very enjoyable.  Love the energy and the Celtic feel.  For some reason my mind always goes to the cinematic when I hear such music.  This, to me, evokes an epic scene of soldiers marching into battle.  

Keep it up!!

Thank you Michael! 

I forgot to mention that I made minor adjustments to the piece and added some more percussion. I have updated the links on the original post.

Very cinematic indeed. Lots of emotion and movement in there. Nice work.
