  • Thanks, William, for sharing this piece. I had the opportunity to take a moment of rest to listen to the music, and I enjoyed it very much. Really inspired music. In this case less is more. Just a flute, a horn and a harp and they do beautiful things. How beautiful this is!


  • What a beautiful way to start a new week.  Thank you for your music and accompanying film.  I'm in a calm place, after having just fed a 2 year old.  That's an accomplishment you can be proud of!  This is the perfect example of combining your interests and creating touching art.

    All the best,

    Dave


  • MMKA thanks very much.  It is great to get this feedback.  


  • Dave, thanks and I'm glad it helped to calm things down there...


  • Far be it for me to recommend something to a perfect piece, but I have one thought I am curious if you considered.

    At the 27s and 34s mark, there is a descending line the horn plays that is three notes, have you considered shortening these notes just a tad to allow the room reverb to carry the notes? Its a really small thing, but something I thought might work.

    2:07-2:55 This is fabulous, I wish there was more of this. I love the playful flute, almost like a butterfly trying to get the big beast to play, the beast is tentative at first, but eventually gives in.

    Throughout the piece, there is an almost reverant undertone while not becoming depressing, thanks to the careful flute flutter and run placements, its brilliant.


  • Thanks littleweirdo, I appreciate it!

  • Wow! This piece is breathtaking!

    I have been very ill this fall. I was in the hospital most of the month of October, so I missed a lot in the forums. Now I am trying to get caught up.

    First of all, the horn, flute and harp combo is lovely. And the VSL instruments really do a good job for you in this piece. I think VSL is the most convincing with chamber music. In fact, I don't think any other library can do chamber music even remotely as well. 

    The composition is excellent, and could easily pass for being a work by one of the late romantic masters. William, you should be really proud of this. 


  • Thank you Paul that is kind of you to say.

  • Your project sounds absolutely captivating! Combining music with visuals from the Lakes Basin area in California must create a truly immersive experience for the audience. It's fascinating to hear about the use of instruments like the VI Vienna Horn, Flute 2, and Harp, especially when mixed in MIR Pernegg Monastery. I can only imagine the depth and richness it adds to the composition.
