Dear "HiroshiK"...

"Green Sanctuary" is stunning music-making! Please allow me to offer my first, urgent impressions of it, to you: stately, mournful, medieval, regal, dramatic, tragic, expressive...I could go on and on.

You needn't have worried about the brief playback time of "Green Sanctuary". It only proves that a musician who knows how to orchestrate his/her music can suspend the listener's interest indefinitely through his/her choice of instruments, their articulation and timbre, control of tempo, and more. It was very, very easy for me to imagine you conducting this composition with a "live" orchestra, your baton moving in the air with purpose and passion, so well-paced and revealing of emotion the music was.

I try hard not to compare the original musical compositions I listen to on the "User's Forum" with other compositions of known and established composers, but when I do I hope it will be accepted as a compliment: "Green Sanctuary" reminds me in the most moving way of the work of the renowned, late film score composer, George Delerue. Your melody is loaded with emotion, and the way you develop it is very suggestive of Mr. Delerue's technique.

I bow to your gifts as a composer and orchestrator, sir. "Green Sanctuary" is affecting and memorable. I feel blessed to have listened to it.

Most sincerely,

LOREN

P.S. I am also greatly impressed and humbled by the way you credit your wife's talent as an interpreter of your own musical gifts. It's an honorable and loving thing to do.
