Beautifully done How lovely to hear a Pavane done on mostly real instruments ... it has an authenticity and warmth I couldn't have got with my midi efforts. A very admirable composition too ... beautiful counterpoints, changes and variations. A rich and colourful tapestry of sounds weaving round my head. I love the slightly more sad and soulful bit just before the 4-minute mark too. Much respect Vic! |

old england smile it is music from a court, long ago. however, the middle section had some whimsy of a modern time. it is masterful music. the playing on the flute is always an amazement, you are very talented. this is a joy to the heart. it is time to return to the beginning to finish the suite. i anticipate it. 0x0 |

Melodies Very smart melodies and counterpoints. The recorders are a real treat. The authentic sound of the percussion really finishes this off nicely. Thanks Bill |

Olivewood, tulipwood ...... plastic? Interesting juxtaposition! I really enjoy hearing you play the massed recorders in your repertoire Vic. I always find these inspiring to break out my (plastic) one and have a blow. I've been trying to write an orchestral piece over the past few months and am even more impressed with what you've done as a result. I really like the way your themes and rhythms change without sounding forced or contrived in any way. Fishskin ...... synthetic ...... :) Thanks for this, I am very impressed! Neil |

Playful When The King Looks Away I get the feeling the musicians enjoyed this even more than the royal court. This is delightful. Thanks for introducing yourself through the email otherwise I would likely regret missing this splendid composition. Bob |

A raw beauty in this that I adore. I like the live playing and very sweet tunes. A real courtly treat. |

I played the recorder too, in ancient 70's, but definitely not this well. Kudos for variations that never seemed to come to an end, but still were fresh like the morning dew. Really well done! /Henke |

brilliant playing You are truly an amazing musician Vic, honestly. This is really a Piece of music. Wonderfully played, all of the instruments. Like the changes, which make the music very vivid and interesting. Makes you think what next will come. The change at end of the first third is really funny! :) brilliant boy! :) P. |

~ Very well written and performed. Didn't know that about the "last pavane"...nice new piece of knowledge... Drums are a nice touch... |

been waiting with bated breath... for another one of this style from you; you know I like it. I can't even begin to imagine how you conceived this delightful progression, must be a period thing. I expose my ignorance, but it is just right - accompanying drum selection with the harpsichord was cool, that really capped it for me. Kudos, Vic. . - Harold |

whimsical! This is a very imaginative piece with high performance standards, especially on recorders. The inclusion of percussion and harpsichord lent additional foundation and color to this composition. The combination of sound between the mostly acoustical instruments and one software instrument was excellent. (This provokes all sorts of thoughts and theories about how "real" and "synthed" instruments can most effectively be combined for optimum sound. It seems that if the majority of sounds are "real", then the lesser software instruments can be better integrated into the mix. Good job on that!) The timings on percussion with recorders and later with harpsichord were sometimes just slightly off, which actually lends more "authenticity" to this recording. Interesting harmonies and transitions throughout. It's sort of a "renaissance journey with a modern twist". The last 50 seconds seemed a bit meandering with the melodies and harmonies, but the overall piece is nevertheless quite entertaining and ambitious. |

I love hearing The real thing as you present it here. The B section has a bit of a modern 'wink, wink' feeling to it. Very fun! I once played tenor recorder in a consort. We were very 'highbrow', and only played authentic early music. This is really great, because the modern perspective is clearly there, but it's subtle. You learn something about someone every day. I had no idea you were such a renaissance man! |

Super Galliard! Very nice... great part writing and properly led from the harpsichord. Processional as it should be with nice step movements and quite lovely modulations. Thoroughly enjoyed! |
... every day .. now why didn't I take you for the "renaissance" type ..... I had visions of Drakonis and Rebsie dancing around the May Pole here ..... I think I said something about putting on a corset on another renaissance tune I recently listened to ... so I shall keep my corset on now for this one. I like those interesting flute (?) notes ....
