Adieu mon frère

[Newport]

Technically very well thought out, scored, and performed superbly. I can't fault it from that perspective at all. I can't say that it moved me however, but as a technical piece - a worthy listen. My normal writing/listening is early music, but I also enjoy more contemporary work as well. Thanks very much for sharing this work!

Thank you for your comments.

A direct emotional response is the prerequisite of a first time listener - instant appeal is essential. It is the curse of modern music that it is difficult to get people to listen to it more than once.

Instant appeal? No I do not agree with that but there must be something in a composition somewhere that appeals and that applies to all music, art, literature in fact every thing that I can think of.
A curse of modern music? Yes it sure is at least 90% of the time to 90% of the people this tells me something has been lost either in direction or the basics.
