The first part is really pretty and reminds me of some of the more upbeat Hiyao Miyazaki movies like My Neighbor Totoro. The transition from the major key into the minor and chromatic zones is quite seamless and makes for a cinematic and grand transition into the nightmare part of the forest. I really like the dissonant violin melody playing underneath the choir vocal hits bouncing around. I wonder if that could have been brought forward more since it felt a little too sheltered? The third section was quite impressive sounding and was my favorite part! Great work and thank you for sharing!

Wow, thank you! I love Studio Ghibli, so that's a huge compliment :D
The violin doesn't feel sheltered at all to me, but that might be because of the audio support I'm using. I only have headphones (good ones, but still only that), so I can't really compare on other audio supports. Except on my phone, but it's a crappy one, so that's pretty much the opposite in terms of quality XD
I'm glad you liked my work, and thank you very much for your comment! :D
