Beautifully melodic.
Captivating and genuinely peaceful and pleasant to listen to.
Nice, no question.

Christian, very nice work. Loved the ensemble you used.
I especially liked the triplet-feel in the "chorus"--there were more than three or four parts to this!
Thanks for sharing it, I enjoyed it.

Wow! That is so well composed and arranged.

Love the different sections and the nuances of the rhythm tracks.

It sounds excellent on the monitors and, yep, it does have a cinematic quality to it.

Well done!

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

Hi Chris, indeed suitable for a film. Sounds like something from the pen of Legrand.
LOVED IT!

Chris,

Nice tune.
Beautiful and very melodic.
The scent of France drifts strongly.
The main music box reproduces the image of the player piano.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Chris ...

I've always thought that the 3/4 time signature lent itself to the perfect portal for beautiful music. And you proved it with this song. So very pretty and easy to listen to ... beautiful song!

Best wishes and be safe ...

Alan

It's true that this waltz could be used as a lullaby.
