Beautiful.
I love the melodies, it's the perfect music to just sit and let your mind wander.
As always, what you do with the breath controller is the best part of the song.

Thanx Brian I appreciate your kind words.

Great title for this lovely instrumental, which as almost always I see as a soundtrack piece - I always think of 60s movies - and I particularly like the sound of the French horn. I'd like to hear more of that.

#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Mario, expertly composed and played. Love the changes and the evolving shades of color you unfurl for the listener. That's some advanced technical stuff on the early flute passages, never would have guessed that was you and a controller. Superb!

Thanx Ron. You can do a lot with a MIDI Controller(s) and a sound source. Those Swam instruments, although expensive, are some of the best MIDI sounds that are not only realistic but can be easily molded using those included articulations. I wish I had enough money to purchase more of those Swam instruments.

Hi Mario.

My gosh! This is quite something.
I love that French horn.
In fact, the moment the horn entered the soundscape, I was reminded of Katchachurian's Adagio from Spartacus.
More specifically, the below, prize-winning interpretation of this very famous work.


I don't know what it was that caused me to think of Katchachurian but once that thought entered my mind, the similarities between that work and yours never stopped passing through my thoughts.

I love what you've done.
--Noel

Thanx so much for this wonderful review Noel. In high school I was the first chair French horn for two years so I'm glad you liked the horn section. I also wonder what made you think of Katchachurian? I never though I would get mentioned with him in a sentence! Thanx for the video, it was great. In fact my wife's favorite song of all time is the Khachaturian - Masquerade: Waltz

Lovely composition. The French horn is a high point for me. Love the sound. Nice build toward the end and the the descending flute notes to the finish. Nice!
