I don't know if you know this, but I'm French. And English is not my strong point. So sometimes I have a hard time retranslating everything in my head.

So I'll try to be efficient if not subtle!

I think it's great! Really great.

First of all, I was taken aback by the 3/4, which works really well.  The happy, carefree atmosphere. You can almost hear children laughing and playing in the water. There's a Joe Hisaichi feel to your composition (Studio Ghibli).

From a technical point of view, I'm in love with the flute melody at bar 20. It's splendid. And you've added a little ear-candy at bar 22 with this little delay on the melody, leaving a silence on the first beat. It's genius. And yet, your flute sound isn't really pretty (I don't know what sound bank you're using, but this flute is a bit screamy). And despite this average sound quality, you've managed to make a wonderful melody sound.

I was a bit long on the flute :)

As for the rest, the instruments respond very well to each other. There's room for all of them. The 3 sections flow naturally into one another (the 3rd, quieter section is a welcome way to complete the loop while keeping things interesting).

In short, good, very good, Nick!


(and of course, thanks for the score, I always take the time to read it on the 3rd listen to add to my understanding of your music)

Thanks a lot! :D

Firstly, I wasn't aware that you're French. Your English is excellent, so I didn't notice.

I'm glad you like the 3/4 and the melodies! I agree that the flute is a bit screamy and not too pretty - would you believe me if I said that the original flute was way worse? ;). I have some digging to do to find right sounds for each instrument, but sadly MuseScore3 does not have too many options. I'll get there!

I am glad that the sections flow nicely! I spend extra time to make sure that this is the case, so I am glad it is appreciated. And for the score, you're welcome :). Hopefully others will follow my example and provide scores (or other forms of showcasing) in the future as well.

Overall, thank you very much for your elaborate explanation! See you in the next jam <3
