 Is this a musical depiction of Mr. Roger's Trolley getting derailed in the land of Make Believe? If so, I LOVE it! |

Live long, and prosper! You really do well at imitating Goldsmith's style and I can easily see this soundtrack fitting in nicely behind any TNG episode. It would be great if you could team up with some trekker and make a fan-video so your music could find a suitable accompaniment. If you aren't making a serious living and getting phat-rich doing this stuff soon, I'm going to hunt you down and beat you. Keep it up! |

| The Captain by Joanna | 3 years ago |
This is a beautifully haunting folk song and your voice is perfect for this. I'm sure that all of your guitar chops will come back to you soon. Please keep playing, writing, and sharing. |

| In A Dream by KeithPetrower | 4 years ago |
You incorporate a wide variety of themes and blend them together quite well. The MIDI voices made me feel like I was playing a really awesome role playing adventure game on my Super Nintendo! It made me feel young again. I like your work a lot! Keep on writing! |

| Release the Flying Children by enkibumbu | 4 years ago |
Absolutely beautiful work! This sounds very much like a live performance. Organic is a term that's been used in a number of previous reactions to this track, and I have to agree. Your ability to get a computer to make music this organic-sounding is miraculous! Thank you so much. |

| Sad Rulers of Claymation by enkibumbu | 4 years ago |
The juxtaposition of aleatory and rationalism work well here. Nice palette of sounds and colors here. Your themes develop and flow quite naturally and was never dull to listen to from beginning to end. BRAVO!!! |

If Gregorian Chanters listened to The Cure, they might come up with something like you've written. Great first attempt at a serious piano piece! Reminds me a lot of the work from the group, Gastr del Sol. Thanks! |

You never cease to amaze me! What a terrific talent you have for writing for orchestra! |

Your work is consistently among my favorites on all of iCompositions. Innovative and fresh. Masterfully mixed. Outstanding! |

| To Fight Is To Win by anitric2000 | 4 years ago |
Your skills as an orchestrator are amazing! You treat the orchestra like a single instrument and the results are consistently outstanding! You really should try and get your compositions written down, published, and performed! I guarantee that your work would be a tremendous hit with any group that plays it and to every audience that hears it. They are THAT GOOD!!! WOW!!! Just on a casual listen, I can tell that the majority of your voicings would be quite idiomatic (playable) on the actual instruments you intended. Also, the parts are interesting for each section which many composers are guilty of not doing well. Your themes are easily recognizable and develop extremely well. This particular piece would be absolutely perfect for a good high school or college level symphony orchestra. Very marketable!!! Keep up the excellent work! I am envious of your abilities. |

| Thanks, MARC3L! I really admire your skills on the guitar. I look forward to your future projects. | |
| Candles in the Wind by anitric2000 | 4 years ago |
This sort of reminds me of the best parts of the Halo 2 soundtrack. I can totally see Master Chief taking out a bunch of Elites with a plasma sword here. This work is very atmospheric, and employs excellent pacing which effectively builds tension little by little. Perhaps a smattering of some upper woodwind flourishes and brassy fanfares shouting in over the nice rhythmic pulse you've got going on would really make the war part more chaotic and exciting? For reference, listen to Karel Husa's "Apotheosis of this Earth, 2nd movement" if you ever get a chance! Excellent job! |

| Soliloquy (For Solo Piano) by djohn409 | 4 years ago |
| Thanks, Moepifry. Many of my piano works are inspired by the Lyrical Piano works of Edvard Grieg, especially in their form. This is a prime example of how Grieg has influenced me. I'm glad you enjoyed it! | |
| Improvisation in D for Solo Piano by djohn409 | 4 years ago |

| Barcarolle -English horns & Harp by kristyjo | 4 years ago |
Lovely composition! Do the english horn players get to breathe at all? Very beautiful thematic material and great choice of instrumentation. Are any of your works in print? Fantastic! |

Fantastic performance! I am so envious of you and other really awesome piano players. |

| Improvisation in D for Solo Piano by djohn409 | 4 years ago |
Thanks, Moepifry, for the wonderful comments. I wish I had 1/10 the piano skills you do! I heard your rendition of Debussy's Arabesque #1. I still can't get that darn hemiola working for me!!!! I'll keep practicing  |

| A Snowflake (For Solo Piano) by djohn409 | 4 years ago |
| ssstebbe, I am glad you liked it! This is probably one of my favorite pieces I've ever wrote, and I don't even know why. Maybe because of its lack of profundity? Sometimes I take my work too darn seriously and this piece is a way to relax a bit. I dunno. Thanks for the kind feedback! I really admire your piano playing, ssstebbe! | |
| Under A Minute Waltz (For Solo Piano) by djohn409 | 4 years ago |
| Thank you Indiana82. I am so pleased you enjoyed it. I'm not sure why it takes so long to get feedback on icompositions sometimes. I think it's because there's so much awesome music to listen to, that there's seldom time to make the effort. I've listened to thousands of songs on here and neglected to leave feedback. I'm glad you did! | |
| Mooving Wheatfield at dawn by Indiana82 | 4 years ago |
Gentle and relaxing. An absolute pleasure! |

| Eine Kleine Kountrykitchenmusik...Fuer Nacht by djohn409 | 4 years ago |
| Hi ssstebbe! The choir was directed by a very good friend of mine. The kids were truly excellent to work with during the entire process! | |
| Improvisation in D for Solo Piano by djohn409 | 4 years ago |
| Thanks ssstebbe! I am glad that my works for piano pleases you! Your comments mean a great deal to me, as they are coming from a pianist/teacher/composer of your caliber. I am truly honored. Thanks for listening! | |
| Battle Hymn jazz piano solo by ssstebbe | 4 years ago |
This is perhaps one of the most beautiful songs in all of America's patriotic library...but very few people know it...until it's treated in such a way as you have here. Beautiful arrangement! Thank you! |

| Qtet for C instruments (river dance) by glendt | 4 years ago |
I echo Kristyjo's comments. Terrific voicings. Would love to hear this composition performed by a live group someday! Thank you for your creativity! |
|
| Quartet for C Instruments by glendt | 4 years ago |
Your writing is very clear and interesting. This is absolutely fantastic! Do you have a written score of this? I would love to get one. This would be absolutely fantastic performed by a live group! |
|
| Theme-3 by Bazil | 4 years ago |
Terrific voicings! This would be highly playable by a real orchestra if you could get a score and parts printed out! You have a great gift for developing your themes and transitioning from one theme to the next. This would indeed be perfect for a movie or big-budget video game. I'm quite envious. *****!!! |

Great artistic statement. My sides hurt. |

| Desired Constellation - Orchestral Remix by eurostrike | 4 years ago |
Inspired by Bjork, perhaps? Who cares?! It sounds absolutely beautiful! |
|
| American Fanfare by atwood1956 | 4 years ago |
This composition would be absolutely perfect for a drum and bugle corp-style show! I think you should seriously think about arranging this for marching band! Compositionally, I really wished this piece would have included a couple more themes, or developed the themes already introduced. Very interesting piece. Excellent use of sonic gestures to communicate to the audience. BRAVO! |
