Thanks for the great feedback, Alan. I'd like to do more eclectic mixes, but what I'd love to work with are balalaikas in particular, Arabic instruments and oboes and bassoons, but BiaB doesn't have any.

Maybe a fade would leave the listener calmer than the abrupt ending. Just a thoughtless thought.

Wow, that's a heck of a review, Marty! A few persons have used the word "abrupt", but that means "Unexpectedly sudden … Surprisingly curt; brusque" (from a US dick'n'harry) and the end is definitely not abrupt. I like it just as it is, plus it has the birdsong exit, so I won't be changing it. Even if I wanted to I doubt I'd ever have time with also catching up with my remixes as I recently had a mini-stroke, which means a big one is likely this year.

Excellent!

Thanks for the response, Janice & Bud. I really envy you your home as I love what I call Great Nature. 'Enchanted is definitely the right word. I was just thinking back on the most beautiful nature-al sights I've ever seen and the best ever was this:
Back in the summer of 1980 I went to Romania to visit relatives - my father was a Romanian national though multi-ethnic - and the return journey was at 04:00 at Constanţa airport and it was pouring down with rain. As the plane took off it flew above the storm clouds just as the sun was rising and suddenly golden 'God rays' seared through all of the dark grey clouds. It was an explosion of golden light, but it was seeing it all from above the clouds that made it mega-epic as it was such a vast panoramic view. Totally magical! Great Nature always blows me a Way!

I'm also incredibly impressed with how this composition has a twist of 'East meets West' but never loses its overarching Eastern music flavour.
You are truly quite an amazing composer.

Thanks so much, Noel! That's probably the best review I've ever had on any of my posts! It's really appreciated.Thanks again!

Thanks for the great response, EeZe Storm. Re the organ, I think it's the only time it's made it's entry halfway through one of my instrumentals. I must try that again!

Thanks for the response, B.D. When you go for your Peking duck also try out another tasty Chinese dish: Ants Climbing Trees! Thankfully there aren't any ants in it, though at first glance it looks like there is! Easiest eaten with a spoon and fork. Frack faffing around with impractical chopsticks! laugh

Thanks for listening and responding, AudioTrack. Yes, amazing things are possible with BiaB. It's enabled me to compose in a way I never could have just using guitars.
