Hi Fred,

A lot of work left, perhaps, but what a fine start. I am up to my neck in things that need to get done, but I was anxious to download and give it a listen. That listen turned into several. I wouldn't call it catchy, I think; it's more an arresting piece, mostly because of a very haunting melody and a harmonic (and sometimes disharmonic) structure that works very well with it.

It isn't difficult to imagine this for piano and orchestra (my imagination hears a kind of overall Mantovani (sp?) sound), so it will be very interesting to hear what you do with it. I don't imagine the doing will be easy, but this version certainly suggests it'll be worth it.

Keep posting as you work further on it.

all best,
