Mario, this is beautiful! Bud and I have been watching lots of nature and travel shows lately and this would be a perfect soundtrack for one on National Parks. As the song was playing I was narrating the views for Bud and it was truly magnificent when we got to the crescendo so I figured that was when we got to El Capitan at Yosemite. Then we went along to glorious waterfalls, stunning rivers and ended with the deer cavorting in the meadow.  Janice How to add to that? Bud

Hi Mario,
I'm not really qualified to comment in detail re this genre.
However I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your creation - lots of dynamics to keep me interested throughout.
Excellent work.
Best Regards

Nicely interwoven instruments. The horns and timpani added a bit a drama at about 2:34 which was soothed by the oboe a minute later. However, the ending didn't convey any great sense of having resolved anything but perhaps that's the result of never being able to actually grasp hold of a cloud.  Overall, a very pleasant listening experience.

Mario,
This is incredible. Should be in a soundtrack. Reminds me of Sibelius.

Mario,
this is really amazing ! I had to close my eyes and were immediately taken away - my thoughts went astray. Guess that's what 'cinematic' is supposed to do, right?
Just wonderful!
Take care,
Stefan

This is an amazing performance Mario. You're at the top of your game. Beautiful song and I enjoyed my listen.
Regardless of the targeted genre, this piece is a huge success in any genre.

Maybe Bud should make a video, add this song, and post it on youtube?

Charlie Thanx so much Charlie but I'm just an inexperienced musician when it comes to this genre. This guitar hacker has a lot to learn.
