I'm heavily playing with microtones. (There's at least 18 notes per scale used in this song, and more have probably snuck in.) Here's the important catch:
The music should sound very, very natural.
In particular, I want to know whether the music so far sounds out of tune... and where. Please, though, listen to the song through once (to get your ear accustomed to the tuning) and comment where you hear it out-of-tune on the second hearing.
(You can start to hear the dance at about 1:00 into the song. There's a faint drum, that's going to grow louder. And the music grows a little faster at that point. The song will turn into an Eastern European-style dance: growing faster as the song continues.)

Okay. You're hearing the introduction of the perfect 7th notes.
Harmonically, they're pleasant. Because they're not part of the Western scale, melodically, they're weird. When I get home late tonight, I will change how I introduce the perfect 7th notes (and add six measures of music.) Hopefully, hearing them first in the accompaniment before you hear them in the melody will help.

Hrm. I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'orchestrated'...
Right now, there's violins, a clarinet, and an English horn. Do you mean to change the instruments? Or add more?
And the under-tones... do you mean the violin accompaniment? Are the problems throughout the piece, or just when the violins switch to eighth-note, rest, eighth-note, rest, etc?
