Description I set myself a challenge to score something using only three instruments. I ended up using a pad as well, but only one. Quite pleased with the way it came out.

Perfect
Just the perfect way to end this crazy day. This is a beautiful, sparse composition. The 3 instruments you chose work very well together. Nice melodic, flowing tune. Feter is right, it does bring to mind a softly rainy day, cuddled on the sofa, watching the drops slide slowly down the window pane. I think you succeeded in your challenge! Thank you.

Some great moments
Like the general feel - and instrumentation - look forward to more of your stuff!

Great!
This is a great piece of work. I loved the piano very much and it has a sad and dark tone... my favorite type! Amazing.

Whodunnit
I'm sure Softly Softly was a UK cop show from the'70s - one of the more thoughtful cop shows too - and although this image is probably a million miles from what you intended the music could well be the soundtrack as a junior detective reflects at length on the evidence and arrives at a realisation of whodunnit!

I especially liked the piano - lush yet subtle phrasing.

I lissened to this right after this song http://www.macjams.com/song/37599 "The East Weeps in The West" collab by djdrshaman with BirdmanWayne & it was so Great to hear these two after one another...a very fine fine experience (!)Wow
I wrote a poem once with those words 'softly softly..' it felt real good to remember that now ! Thanks again : ) Helena

It's amazing...
...how full a score for three instruments can sound. This is a perfect example of it. Of course, much of that has to do with the composition and performance. I've heard solo piano and guitar pieces which actually ended up sounding completely orchestral...due to the composer and performer's skill.

Very fine piece...
