A personal challenge; and I admit one I'm proud of. When writing music, I usually don't restrict myself to certain instruments, but start with a full orchestra, from strings to woodwinds to brass to percussion, all-inclusive. Also, it doesn't take long until I start fiddling with the big things: Horn ensembles and huge timpanis & drums just sound awesome; so why miss out on those? Kada-boom!
So, the question was: Can I write something simple? Small chamber orchestra piece, maybe? Get a flute, an oboe, some violins, violas and cellos, and that's it? Here's the result.
Did it work?

I've been there through some parts of the process and I just say wow, very great result.
On some parts it could be noticed that you had to resist the urge to get "bigger", but it worked out pretty well.
Hope to hear more from you and the investment into the vienna library sure pays off here :)

Its *looks* 3:45AM - i came across this as i was considering going to sleep, i shut my eyes for a sec, and this took me places.
I dreamt before i slept :p
(second listen) this is such a delicate but powerful piece, I sorta wish i was better at explaining things.
in short, i really reeealy love this piece.
very well done! *wags* ^.^

There's power to be found in many places within music. It's not always about the strength and diversity of your orchestra. If there is skill and emotion in the notes it can be just as moving. I'm very pleased to see that you understand that. 'Orchestra...' what a beautiful word... Ah, I'm sorry my mind just seems to be all over the place right now. To the next masterpiece!
