Hi Shigeki Adachi, This is stunningly beautiful music. Unless my ears are leading me astray, it seems to me that you've written this in sonata form (i.e. ABA). The Strauss-like waltz tempo is absolutely delightful. I find it hypnotising. As I sit here listening, swaying and smiling, inside my mind, I see men in tuxedos and women in long flowing ballroom dresses elegantly twirling in partnership around the dance floor. I really love the cycle of fifths chord progression and key change in the bridge. Also, when the oboe enters the mix in the latter A-sections the effect is very haunting; a beautiful counterpoint melody. I've listened to this about twenty times now (I have repeat on while I type) and with each cycle through the music, I find myself caught up in the flow and mesmerised by the beauty of your melody and harmony. Those melodic suspensions are superb. In addition, you've invented such a sophisticated and stunning chord progression that seamlessly flows with aural elegance. I'm a huge fan of the I6/4-V7-I perfect cadence at the end of the A-sections.  In a word..... ワオ!!!!Regards, Noel

Most enjoyable and lovely music - made me think of Merchant Ivory romantic period movies.
Top class production.

Shigeki Adachi,
Stunningly Beautiful!
You do things with BIAB that I cannot even begin to imagine.
The arrangement is a delight. The mix is elegant.
Brings to mind movies of the past - starring Audrey Hepburn, generally...
Simply beautiful!

This is absolutely gorgeous! Great job, and the mixdown is so well-done and precise. I agree with Noel, too, the oboe is wonderful!

BEAUTIFUL!!!! Sounds like a musical score to a very dramatic film. The interplay between the string melody and the french horn is so very sweet. The ONLY thing I would change is to add a little more reverb. It is a grand melody and I think a little more space would give that a little more accent. WONDERFUL Shigeki !!!!! Take care. Greg

Hello, Noel
Many thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.
About twenty times! Such heavy rotation! I'm so glad!
Your comments make me so happy.
You love classic music very much.
I'm also a huge fan of the cycle of fifths chord progression and the I6/4-V7-I perfect cadence.
Thank you again, Noel
All the best,
Shigeki Adachi

"I wrote this song for a video movie of an amateur director....."
This would be fitting for a pro director! Romantic and lovely and very reminiscent of the classic B&W films that Janice so loves.
This is a remarkable showcase of your talent and the power of BiaB.
Thanks for sharing!

Mr. Adachi, I am in love with your song. I am a huge video game RPG music composer fan, especially the likes of Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda. Your music reminds me of their early work which is -extremely- hard to achieve since that was their prime. I could hear this song being appropriate in some of the most critically acclaimed RPGs. Possibly visiting a town at the beginning of an epic journey. When the Horns played, and then the Oboe came in, I was floored. I love it. Great work! Can't wait to hear more.
Thanks,
Mathew
