Excellent piece Feter I feel that better sounds would give it yet another boost. If you've a midi file I'd love to have a go at it. I'm away for a couple of weeks but if you want me to do anything I'll pick it up in September. Cheers Dick |

intriguing sweet suite The first part felt somewhat experimental, the second felt warm, the third felt a bit Renaissance-like. I liked your writing, very nice counterpoint in spots. The instruments themselves sounded a little bit synthy, and some parts of your composition, when all instruments were playing together, it got a little bit muddy... but that would be fixed with better instrument samples and a little more left/right separation... or maybe you can get this performed by a real woodwind ensemble, that would be great! This is nice writing, I'm impressed! ttfn, Drakonis |

Lovely! I really enjoyed listening to this, Feter. A delightful listening experience and really charming. I don't feel technically skilled enough to talk about what you've done, but I know I like it. Depending on the sound quality (I'll need to listen to it again), I'd like to play this on the Christmas edition of my podcast music show, if you'd be agreeable? |

a lovely mixture... ...of the 'old & new'...there are elements of 'neo Renaissance & Baroque' as well as early 20th Century French wind chamber music. This is really nice Feter & I enjoyed listening to it! Cheers! Alf |

Wonderful .... Feter, These are simply beautiful gemstones in your unique style of contemporary-renaissance writing. I love the way you trill %u2014 it's kind of upside-down and I just think it is so very clever and beautiful to hear....All 3 movements have their own charm. I liked No. 2 best because it is so mournful. No. 3 was a delight, esp. the open 5ths at the end that keep this so characteristic. I think you have really expanded your horizons with this suite, Feter. While each movement is short, each is precisely written and not nearly as repetitive as some of your other things. Just a really fine concept and wonderful writing. (Yes. A "live" woodwind group would be great, but you nevertheless have shown the beauty of this music with the resources you have available. Let there be more...and more. Peace. Paul |

Another beautiful Feter piece You sure are good at this Feter - beautifully written and played. I too would love to hear this played by real ensemble (and I'm sure you would too). Your music is really special my friend, and I like this one a lot. Peace, Neil |

Feter, this piece is awesome It does have a wintry feel to it, but it is not cold at all. Very warm and gentle like a warm wind. Beautiful 3 piece treat for us. :-) |

Very Pretty Feter,... I just love this kind of music, to me it is baroque sounding. I don't know much about the history of classical styles. I can distinguish between medevil and rennaissance. There is an interesting story behind that. While Europe was in the dark ages, or medevil times, I know from my Spanish major in college that Spain was having its Rennaissance, because the Arabs had come up into Spain, bringing a new way of thought, that triggered the equivalent of what was to become a Rennnaissance in the rest of Europe sometime later. The first European library was built in Spain by the Arabs, it is in Granada, where I happened to be when I went to Spain. However, as the the rest of Europe left the dark times and entered its Rennaissance, Spain plummeted into a dark ages. This is the story as I remember, a real historian would describe it much better than I. Ofcourse the Rennaissance makes one think of Italy, Leanardo Da Vinci, and people who not just could paint with sophisticated techniques, perspective, vanishing point and so forth, but were great scientists, and mathematicans, people who really did it all. Hence the term "A Rennaissance Man", one adept in multiple disciplines. Today we have writers such as Buckminster Fuller, who point out specialization is bad for the advancement of humanity. The technical papers that only specialists can understand in their own field of specialization, results in lack of understanding among the public as a whole, and takes humanity backwards, ultimately destroys the quality of life for all. As he put it, when I throw an apple into a pond, I don't need just the waves of the physicist, but the the department of biology for the apple, and the the department of chemistry for the waves. As he says, we need to see the big picture, and we need technology because he says the ultimate goal of the engineer inventing a technology, is to increase our "degrees of freedom". Ofcourse I should probably add, he says nature far supercedes to date any technology made by humans, and that really "humanity is a macro --->micro universe unfolding eventuation." I read in the paper that we are going through a rennaissance in medicine with the decoding of the human genome. Computer have enabled us to process massive amounts of data relativily quick and this has revealed the language of life, which will ultimately result in cures for everything with a mere injection. Your music makes me think of all of this, it seems to be in the spirit of such thought. Nice Work!!!! |

lovely composition.........its an inpiration......u and tiler are giving me ideas for a solo guitar piece i'm working on.....thanks for sharing this little suite of music.,! |

very smooth and soothing even though there are 3 pieces, i feel they blend together very well as a whole. 3 in 1, what a bargain! A very nice style you have, Feter |

a delight very calming and Renaissance-like piece. The first movement is definitely my fav. Great work my friend. - walt |
 | kristyjo said 446 days ago |

What gems - so well placed together - each its own piece, yet with their own character. I'd agree that a real woodwind choir would be perfect, but the ideas come through very nicely with what you have here, too. Really charming! |

Joy and introspection Feter this is really lovely work, a kind of fusion of folk and baroque, at turns mournful and rejoicing. I could imagine Mystified or Rebsie doing vocals on this - particularly that middle section. KK |

fresh classic A new age Bach or Mozart or Palestrina. Add voices and you have a new Thomas Tallis. This is one of your better pieces. Well paced. Pregnant with hope. A man who has been down the road, carrying hardship with grace, ready to embrace further challenges in a place of respite and fulfillment. |

Not an expert I'm not an expert in this genre, but I think it sounds very nice and peaceful. I must say the production was great and I really appreciate your talent. LL |
 | spitlogic said 444 days ago |

Very well done Im curious to hear how a real wind ensemble would sound playing this. It seems very peaceful, yet looming. A passive/aggressive piece. |

Beautiful reflections very evocative and a joy to listen to. The patience and meter of these pieces place them so firmly in the natural world. Thanks for posting. |

This is a delight. I don't know much about classical music, but I enjoyed these pieces very much. I can imagine how amazing this would sound with a 'real' ensemble performing it. Thank you Peter |

Sweet piece, Feter... ...I really enjoy listening to your music, sir... |

Nice harmonies You always manage to bring your own style to these pieces while keeping an authentic historic sound. And if you want voices hummin ... you know you can always ask! |
 | jgurner said 443 days ago |

Very Nice Each piece has its own identity but work together as a whole. This would sound wonderful performed live by a woodwind ensemble. Wonderful work. |

adorable classic feel Like Paul said, this has a lot of very nice composing it it. Great to hear a style that was such a great part of music history! |

Medieval warmth Very nice harmonies. Nice choice of instruments. Its had to play trills via MIDI, or even fast runs, since legato isn't a good MIDI setting. I wish you could record the pieces with real players. Some of the sections cut off a tad too early, or fade in as if we're only getting a few sections of the work. I love winter too. Something wonderful about having to be indoors (no guilt about not spending enough time outside), wearing all those clothes, and early sunsets. I always get much more work done in winter. Plus, I'm a december child. You learn where true warmth comes from. |

Winter Thoughts I agree with what eanbardsley said. That thing about the apples being thrown into the water. I can also see the palm fronds yellowing and smell the coconut fragrance of sunscreen as I sink into this composition with thoughts of winter (in Florida). Great imagery! Thanks! |

Flowing delicately like snowflakes that are blown from bare branches in the evening sun. A lovely piece where the different movements remind me of the quiet yet changing aspects of that time of year. Thanks for sharing and be well! Doug |
