This is a nice journey. I can see Snoopy and Marcie, I'm pretty sure it's Marcie, doing a routine on the frozen lake.
 
My only crit would be to use more dynamics.
 
Excellent work!

Thanks! yes, the flute solo is meant to portray a child or uncoordinated adult attempting some tricky maneuvers on the ice. I marked it Rubato, so the flutist can do whatever they want with it.
 
The criticism is totally valid, I definitely am challenged dynamically. Partly because I use step-record. but also I tend to control dynamics by adding and subtracting instruments, rather than spending all that time doing it the right way!

I like this a lot.  I don't listen much to orchestral tunes any more but well into my teens I listened to the classical stations, while I was playing rock and roll for a living.  That seems odd but I liked it.  I have thought of getting into a piece and trying to do orchestration but the older I get the more I just do what I know.  This is quite interesting and I listened to the whole 7 + minutes.  I usually lose interest before that.  So, kudos.
