I love Bill Douglas's Music, who uses bassoons and flutes to make music that feels so intimate and close to what one feels inside. Listen to his album Circle of Moons

I like the melody of this one and the neo-classical intro you composed for it. (Neo-classical was an early 20th century movement including Stravinsky and Hindemith, using counterpoint etc).
I am not an expert but I think your expert counterpoint and modulation in the first seconds would impress conservatorium folk.

Hello Bruce, thank you for the detailed comment. Aah Stravinsky. Need to check more of Hindemith. I am getting someone to learn counterpoints and related from – till then I too cannot be sure of its academic correctness. My main inspiration has been Bill Douglas – whom i would like to keep in touch with.
