Misty Forest - A Symphonic Poem

I ran across a picture by Zsolnai Gergely last week which inspired this piece. I hope you like it.

    I really liked what you did with the strings in the first half.  I think maybe something should be done to give the piano a bit more sustain and maybe room reverb that matches the strings?  I am guessing, and that's just a preference thing, really. I like piano wet ;)

    Gregory - I didn't run the piano through the same verb. You might be right. I can hear the piano in my head set further back in the space.

    That was really cool...   A bit different for orchestrated pieces, in a good way.  The arrangement works well and the dynamics are good.   I liked the melodies and supporting parts, along the bells both large and small.
