It's a rather sudden start Mario...all in on beat 1.
You've created a lovely soundscape.
Those strings on the right playing staccato could use a little something - a slight delay or a smidge more reverb on their end notes.
Other than that I sat n listened.
For a dude with a guitar in his hands in his avatar you certainly are a MIDI master. Ray thanx so much for this very kind review and especially for the great suggestions. I am trying to learn orchestration and suggestions like this really help. Thanx again.
Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?

Hi Mario
Excellent song with a powerful orchestra sound
Since you have really created something great
Fantastic work Mario
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thanx so much Andi. Those orchestral MIDI loops I purchased and a little modification I think they sounded great also.

Oh, yes, it's hard to tell which direction that magic flute is actually emanating from. I could wander around in this musical melee and never be disappointed. The way you pave the path to that garden is filled with so much magic itself that is is not disappointing to never reach the prize. The prize is the way. Marty, you write some of the most interesting reviews! I should have you write in song introductions! Thanx for listening and these very nice comments.

The sprites are about, ain't they?
Wonderfully textured, cinematic, and of course, magical!
I love the flute part. The choir evokes the sun rising.

Mario,
Nicely done.
That piano sounds good.
I really like those strings stabs!
Nice job with the controller (as always).
Good mix.
A beautiful listen.

Mario...definitely one of your best...so peaceful at times then a slow gradient movement into a suspenseful atmosphere...I agree with Torrey that you are a master at creating super soundscapes for us to venture through...loved it...Dan

Beautiful!
I like your flute playing, and the string arrangement is also pretty good.
I think I've told you before that you're really good at film music.

I'm not so sure about that "master at creating super soundscapes" but I'm still trying and learning about creating soundscapes.

Well done.

Mario, this is really cool cinematic music that needs a video to go with it. I like the parts where it goes to the minor.
I have to wonder if there are guys out there who like creating videos and how we would get hooked with them.
I don't know how you guys find the time to keep up on this showcase. It seems like another excellent piece of music is posted every five minutes.
Best regards, Mario, to you and the better half.

Why do bagpipe players walk while they play?
To get away from the noise
What kind of music should you listen to while fishing? Something catchy!
