Beautiful.

The piano sounds great. Nice touch to the playing. Delicate.

The rest of the instruments sound really good, too. A nice spread across the stereo field. Good mix.

Not to detract from how good this is...but the snare roll seemed out-of-sorts with the rest of the piece. A bit jarring, while the rest is so "peaceful". A simple timpani (maybe two hits) might work better in both of those spots???

A good listen.

The snare roll was included to underscore the military aspect of the story. If lowering the volume or moving it to the distance doesn't improve it I might try your suggestion. smile

Nicely done but not overdone Brian...
You've created a strong haunting melodies here...
And your backing tracks really enhance the themes!

BTW...
Thanks for turning off SoundCloud's Auto-play...
I appreciate it!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Nice track and melody - although I agree with FJ that the snare roll feels a bit out of place in this context.

Thanks for sharing!

Really pretty. Loved the bells to open and end. Melodic piano works well. This hits the heart-strings, and it a wonderful reflective work that began and ended as at when it felt right.
