Sweet Now that's what I'm talking about. This piece definitely conveys with it some imagery. Imagery of a caravan of Middle Eastern bedouins trailing the desert, or even a cinematic ancient greece. As mentioned before, the tonal variations are done very well and the percussive elements are well placed, and your transitions are effective. I would have liked just a little more fanfare, but that's just me. You've basically nailed is as far as the structure is concerned, now let's hear you embelish it with more strings, harps, trumpets. I know you can do that. Keep it up, and thanks for your kind review again! Check out my latest song called Score This Draft 1

Sweet Great...great! Thanks for your motivating remarks! It's funny you should mention fanfare; as I listened to your last piece, then listened to mine again, I could "hear" portions where I thought some brass emphasis could be placed and made more effective with changes in dynamics. I might tinker with this project some more; might move on for awhile. Regardless, you've given me great satisfaction knowing that the "imagery" I saw was communicated to another person through my music. Isn't that the meaning of it all? Thanks again!!

Solid Very solid. Nice melody. There is competence in this track, altho it doesn't rise to the stirring emotional level of "Child" and "Long Road Home." Very nice arrangement. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

Solid You're right. I think I have grown considerably with each post, and this was the first attempt at any orchestral arrangement. Since then, I continue to listen, observe, learn, and pray for the inspiration to write something even better each time. Thank you for taking the time to stop by!

A worthy post! Ever since Lawrence of Arabia I've had a soft spot for Arabian tinged music. Via Maris has a clearly stated and appealing Middle Easten type theme but at times it seemed a little cautious. I'd love to see you develope it even more, take a more chances and play with it and varied it a even more than you did. You always have a good feel for orchestration and I like your choices here but the quality of the intruments could be better. I%u2019m also playing with Jampack4 and have tried modifying its instruments and found you can really perk them up and enhance their character enormously. I%u2019m far from an expert but I think it's worth doing here. Of course this is one of your earlier submissions and you've probably explored a lot since. If you ever have the time I think Via Maris is worth going back to and could be made even better. A worthy post and thanks for you thoughtful reviews of my work.

Thanks, Bowman! Excellent suggestions and wonderful critique! I think I will revisit this...I've learned quite a bit from all of you since I did this and I'd like to make this jump a little more. Check out my latest song called Defining Moment

Very nice job in creating tonal variations on a theme. I especially liked the
underlying bass line (midway in the piece).
