"Thank you! I will be handing my entry a bit close to the deadline just as a heads up, as I have other competition pieces I have already started and need to be finished."
"Oo! I shall have a crack at this, if its still okay to put my foot in the door?"
"How easy would it be to convey these complex sub-levels of the poem's meaning through music? How would you go about doing that - is it like trying to put irony into music?"
"It is the stock Sibelius 6 sounds. I might export the MIDI and take it to college and see if I can get an improvement on it."
"Sounds unusual - in terms of tonaility and instruments.
I like some sections; I think it needs a few listens. What sound sets did you use for this?"

"I agree that it would be better suited to a different instrument. I was running out of time for writing the piece, so when I found something that flowed I went with it.

"I assume that this work is for a competition for writing for trombone; congratulations and I wish you the best of luck. If I was a judge looking at your piece I would have some initial concerns even before listening to the mp3. When composing…"
"Thanks for the kind words. After leaving it to sit for a while, I realise now that the ending could of been extended a little more and that the gap near the end is a bit extensive. I may go back and sort these things out if I don't have anything…"
"Ok I will post a few thoughts as i listen to this;
