Mesmerizing!

This might be the only pigeon entry that gives me majestic feelings: Something most people, including me, might not interpret when thinking of pigeons, which can be both unique and risky at the same time. 

However, you managed to pull this off wonderfully while preserving the pigeons' playful energy! The example is an unpredictable time signature shift (both start and end), the instruments that resemble the sound of pigeons: the low-pitched sound being the leader and the high-pitched sound being his pigeon flock (or at least, that's what I interpreted). The melody arrangement is also very catchy and a pleasant delight to hear! :)

Regarding the reason that some people might not be confident if this music belongs in the "1000 pigeons" theme, I speculate that it could be because the music might not fully utilize the chaotic factors that capture the essence of pigeons. I can see a good attempt to apply frantic mayhem energy to the music as mentioned above. However, your clean, peaceful, and majestic aspects (they are all good things!) which reflect the nature of peaceful birds in general rather than pigeons specifically, might outweigh the pigeon elements you tried to convey through the music ;(

That being said, this music has a unique charm and its overall execution is beyond fantastic.
Please keep up the amazing work! :D

Thank you for the detailed explanation :D

I too interpret the lower-sounding woodwinds as the leader and the higher as the flock! I am glad you find it catchy and delightful <3

And indeed, I did not envision this as a "scary 1000 evil pigeons" battle, but rather a "goofy battle where 1000 mindless pigeons are shot at your face". A bit like the dumb cuckoos in Zelda, I find the pigeons not scary but derpy, a bit like Gloo! But I understand why that is not totally what others may have expected, and why some of the chaos might be missing.

Thanks again for your comment! I now better understand why some may not find my song fit the theme well :)

On the other hand, I am glad I get to see different interpretations from various creators; It does give me a breathe of fresh air, and it is the reason why your entry stands out and is unique!
