Very ambitious work, expressing a very grand vista!!

Really interesting lead-in...loved that “preface”. I realized much later that this was a multi-part work, with multiple styles, etc.

Guessing from your graphics that your reference is to our early settlers. A real tribute to potential, the future dream, etc...an excellent topic.

Real nice solo section.

Maybe the length of your piece is why you haven’t had many comments!! I guess we live in a short attention span world!!

I think it is too long...my feedback would be to completely take out the second at-tempo section, to take the first part of the 2nd slower section (starts at 4.05 “nine weeks ona Rolling ship” thru “all our dreams come true”) and add that to the end of the 1st slow section. That way, you would have a slow, reflective “prelude” that expresses aspirations, then launch into your at-tempo main section, and I would continue that thru to a fade out, thus keeping the upbeat energy of “promise”. Just my ideas..
