This is very interesting! It somewhat reminds me of *The Witcher* at certain moments (including the TV series). The instruments typical of medieval culture sound really good (may I ask which libraries you used?). I truly love the folkloric sounds! Another strong point is the significant difference between the tracks, while still maintaining a sense of coherence among them. The second track, so ethereal, is unexpected after the folkloric intro. It fits well, describing different moods without making you feel like you're being transported to another world or story. The mix is very balanced, and the orchestrations are excellently executed. Well done!

The only virtual instrument in my composition is the piano.
The first track is entirely real instruments and my voice. All the string sounds are the Talharpa I made by hand, as in I designed and built with wood. It is made of spruce and African mahogany, with gut strings. As Talharpas go, it is also a very unique instrument, where I crossed a viola da gamba and a Trossingen lyre. It is pictured in my post. The crossbar is made out of a piece of ipe that a woodworker at my local ren fair gave me.
The whistling is me throat singing. The drum is a frame drum.
