Escape from Persia

[Joshua Moore]

I composed this for a submission to Taxi.com but it was rejected because it sounded like it was "taking us on a journey" when that particular listing for an orchestral work had parameters requiring the "same feel throughout" - I will likely submit to Pandora after I record live flute.  However, before I finalize it, would love to know if anyone has any constructive feedback that would help it get accepted to Pandora.  

I utilized the EastWest choir singing (in latin) a short poem that I wrote translated:

"Flee from the Desert

Into the night.

Heart of Light

Be Brave."  

Thanks for any input.

I tried to listen to mp3 but could not, as i'm on an internet cafe with torturingly slow connection. I liked the short lyric though :-).
I will try a 2nd time from a better connection.

great job. I really like how the flute sounds and the melody is very memorable. I feel the difficulty in perceiving the fragment from 0:45 to 1:05 at this point harmony syncopates it seems. the rest is a very pleasant aftertaste.

Thanks for trying!

Thanks for the feedback.  I appreciate you taking the time.  I will see if there is anything I can do to smooth out the middle section.  I am working on ideas to improve the flow of my compositions and keep them from feeling to disjointed.
