Hi Adrian,
Angel Meadow is indeed compelling. I've switched back and forth listening to it with and without the visual. It works well either way. The video does add an element of explanation, but I think the music stands quite well and communicative on its own. Once again, your use of instruments in their proper places, as it were, moves the music without becoming muddled at all. Great job on the orchestration and how it communicates the theme with this piece
ttfn,
Sherry
p.s. Re. the Victorian behavior of the forum screening software. That's actually a default behavior, and we've kept it. We want our forum to be inviting to even our youngest musicians (my own kids read posts here and listen to music such as yours
). While your use of d--nation is certainly appropriate in context, alas the forum software is not intelligent enough to distinguish between appropriate and superfluous usage. Therefore, it errs on the side of caution. I don't think our communications are any less effective for the want
