Harvest Home - Orchestral March

It's quite a while since I've posted a piece of music here. But I've just had a lot of great help at the Sonar section of this forum which has now got me up and running with Platinum. Very grateful. One of the responders said "now go and make some great music". On the grounds I've never achieved that before, I now live in hope!

I offer this as a benchmark from which I must now progress onwards and upwards (in my dreams!). I usually write songs but sometimes feel the urge to go orchestral! Originally written and recently updated in Home Studio 7XL, imagine the hay carts and tired farm workers heading home with the harvest and a thirst in need of quenching!

Hi Tom - Very many thanks. So pleased you like it. Yes, Tuba and French Horns - quite old Garritan VSTs but they seem to work. And I can also relate to mowing the lawn - thirsty work that definitely demands beer!
 
Hearthis.at - I've been posting my music on Soundclick and then Soundcloud since 2005. I don't get much interest but that's the way it goes with amateur tunesmiths like me. But about a month ago, Soundcloud announced they would be terminating all "Groups" as of 22 August - these are Soundcloud lists run by Soundcloud members usually for music in a specific genre that other Soundcloud members can post their music on. I ran a quite successful Group there with around 380 members in addition to my own music page. When I challenged this decision, Soundcloud's reason was that it was too time-consuming to maintain the software for Groups and they didn't give any benefit to artists that posted on them. I can't comment of the first reason, but as for the second, it makes no sense - a person with only a few followers on their main page had access to hundreds if not thousands of listeners and potential followers via Groups.
 
Anyway, I decided to check around for other potential Group hosts and found hearthis.at. I also was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality there. Their Groups are a bit different to Soundcloud and may not be what I am looking for. But while I will probably still keep my Soundclick and Soundcloud pages for the moment, the sound quality at hearthis.at is such that I may well progressively move my music there.
 
cheers

This is  engaging for 2'57" of music.  You write with concision.
