Dreamer: Yes they are beautiful lyrics. I think the mood of the song also reflects the lyrics, although they are not sung.

Thanks DonM for your compliments. Do you think it needs improvement to be on commercial standard? If so, which areas.

STAM, I also find that every time I listen to the track, I'm transported somewhere else! The melody is a Hasidic one from the Chabad group, not sure which country of origin, possibly Russia or Romania.

I find that a lot of these tunes really need to be played outside of a 'click' to do it full justice. Since I was sequencing, I had to use a click, but I wasn't following the bars, because it alternates between 3/4, 4/4 and 5/4. I think the tune isn't really meant to have a 'beat', but it probably is closest to a 3/4.

Great Melody, very well recorded, well balanced, bright with air in it... sorry don't know how to give a proper english name for that, you might say the song "breezes"

The violin is very well played and an excellent pitch! as well.

Zalmi,

Excellent tune. I really liked the song and your orchestration work. The flute line is full of expressivity. Is it really the Trinity, or a real flute?

Congratulations for your work,

-- José.

Thanks Freddynl

Glad you enjoyed it, and thaks for your response, Claudio.

Jose, thanks for the compliments. The 'flute' I played, not on the Trinity but on the recorder. All other parts were the Trinity aside from the violin lines by my brother (although the strings during the intro is the Trinity).

So, is it on a commercial standard, and if not what would I need to do to bring it to that level? Better mixing? mastering? arranging? Please state your opinions; I will not be offended. And if I will, at least I will know what to do to make a commercial track in the future. Many thanks.

Zalmi

Ditto to what everone else has said.
Held me transfixed.
I love violins played well with expression.
I was impressed by the clearness of the sounds.
Well done.
More please.
Cousin Ken
