What a lively performance! An excellent composition indeed. I especially enjoyed section A, it was simultaneously familiar and new. The section where it briefly breaks into a string quartet was very cool as well.
What a great piece! Absolutely love it!! Could you maybe make a video on how to add texture to such music? When listening to this piece I always think that I would never be able to come up with such great orchestral arrangements..
Beautiful! This is my favorite piece of yours. And it emanates your personal style and character. I love it. Not just out of your work, but out of all the work I've heard in my listening. In my top 30 for sure :)
Really nicely done and beautifully written. I do have one question or idea, depending on where you want to go with it as the composer. Why does this sound like it could be the theme song to a videogame of some sort? Anyone else get that vibe from this piece or is it just me?
very much so. i would adore this while collecting wild berries in the wilderness of a game. someone also mentioned immaculate zelda vibes, which checks out.
Fantastic Journey! thanks for allowing us to hear this great piece and follow the score. It would be great if you share some insight of how this was composed. Your explanations - comments are always welcome. Blessings!
I mean, citing the musicians would have been cool, shout-out to them for playing this beautiful piece so well I have to say, I have found that Dorian feeling a bit cliché at times, but very beautiful nonetheless
Gregory Baxter Depends on the piece! A lot of them are NotePerformer, and a lot of them are various sample libraries. If you ask about a specific piece I can let you know details.
Patrick Ward Spiderman "with great power comes great responsibility" theme by Elfman? Mildly similar to that. Or the haunting B theme in Silvestri's Polar Express? That type of descending motion with a deceptive cadence is pretty common. Let me know if you think of anything specific! :)
I think it sounds very similar to this part: th-cam.com/video/lBrwceBdDQQ/w-d-xo.htmlm4s. Granted, it's not like it copies the safe motif, it's just that I found it very similar.
Stll coming back to hear this piece once in a while, I still think this is one of your greatest works.
This is amazing man. Its fun to listen to this and imagine the story that would go alongside it.
Has a cool Studio Ghibli vibe to me!
I was there when it was performed, and I can hear myself clapping at the end ahahaha.
We noticed!
I get such a Zelda vibe from this...and that's a really good thing!
Came to say this! It's wonderful.
Listened again. So good.
First listened to this years ago and still come back to hear it again
아름다운 노래...정말 좋다
absolutely love this piece, even though the string section sounds a little out of tune at some sections
Thanks! We only had one rehearsal, and most of the players were high schoolers - so they did a great job considering!
This one is my favorite. And i kinda like the roughness of the string section!
There's a spider on your profile picture!!
Is there anywhere to buy the audio?
The faster bit reminds me of Mario music 🤭Well done! I’m a composer too
This is Brilliant, I absolutely love your energy. Bravo JJay!
Love this...
Really superb work, I've been binging a lot of your breakdown videos lately but also enjoying the pieces by themselves with the sheet music!
Is the first time I hear this piece and I love it! It's amazing what brilliant minds can do!
What a lively performance! An excellent composition indeed. I especially enjoyed section A, it was simultaneously familiar and new. The section where it briefly breaks into a string quartet was very cool as well.
Beautiful composition!
It's like a mixture of Hisaishi and John Powell's How to Train your Dragon combined... Beautiful beautiful work
This has such a great sound to it!
That's just beautiful, I loved it, great videos too, Loved everything!
wow .. Relaxed feeling ..
It's beautiful
Wow. That was fantastic!
Excellent recording!
Amazing. Love it.
Bravissimo love it!!!
I love it, it inspires me to get into composing myself again.
Great stuff.

thanks for sharing!
LOVE the main theme between bars 9 -16!

Marvellous composition, JJay! Really enjoyable.
So beautiful, like n 64 Zelda music
Bravo ❤
Great job, dude. It reminds me a lot of Kondo's music.
Música maravilhosa! Parabéns!
THANK YOU AGAIN
5:13 is great, very mary popins ;)
Woah... the emotional impact your music has on me is overwhelming. I'll be shooting you an email for a Skype lesson I think. This piece is wonderful
Fantastic Journey! thanks for allowing us to hear this great piece and follow the score. It would be great if you share some insight of how this was composed. Your explanations - comments are always welcome. Blessings!
diegone65 Glad you enjoyed it! Would you be interested in a youtube video explanation?
Yes of course! that would be great.
I mean, citing the musicians would have been cool, shout-out to them for playing this beautiful piece so well
I have to say, I have found that Dorian feeling a bit cliché at times, but very beautiful nonetheless
Hey! Were some parts of this inspired by Ravel's string quartet in f-major?
Wonderful! Really powerful and touching. I attempted to compose something like that myself and failed miserably xD
this was so good, i wish i can compose as good as you
When possible, use tenor instead of treble for cello, it's easier to read due to where the open strings align
Splodinate Kabloominate Absolutely! That’s something I’ve learned since writing this piece.
This would sound soo epic with a larger String Section!
*better (they're probably all students, if they were all pro a chamber orchestra would sound just as incredible
Was this partly inspired from 'Secunda' from Skyrim?
Feels like HoMM OST. Very cool.
4:52 I hear a slight resemblance to Chopin's Nocturne in F Minor...
Also at 1:22 and 3:55
what mic and program did you use to record such a beautiful sound? I would love to know. Thanks :)
It was preformed live.
You should make a video on writing in Dorian
What do you use for your compositions and playback on your soundcloud?

I was just curious, I'm a music student in Maine and just got Sibelius and was wondering what you did to make the pieces come to life.
hola usas vst? o son isntrumentos reales? se esuccham uy bien saludos
Instrumentos reales
I swear I've heard m.207 before, but I have no idea where.
Patrick Ward Spiderman "with great power comes great responsibility" theme by Elfman? Mildly similar to that. Or the haunting B theme in Silvestri's Polar Express? That type of descending motion with a deceptive cadence is pretty common. Let me know if you think of anything specific! :)
4:01 at section H, sounds very similar to one portion from the "Staff Roll" in Super Mario Galaxy 1 game.
Cue me the specific part, I’m curious!
I think it sounds very similar to this part: th-cam.com/video/lBrwceBdDQQ/w-d-xo.htmlm4s. Granted, it's not like it copies the safe motif, it's just that I found it very similar.
Coughs. Coughs are everywhere.
This kind of reminds me of something from mario galaxy.
3:54 Evil Morty? :O
Definitely sounds similar! Also at 1:22 and 4:52
