Could see this in a JRPG for sure. Good Job!

Really nice work, very heartwarming, and some nice sounds being used!

Watch the release of the oboe patch at the end of the melody phrases, its a bit sudden and jarring considering everything is so legato and smooth and pretty!

I would also experiment with notes in the duet section, there is some clashing between the two duet parts and also clashing with the chords, so just play around until you find notes that work both together, and with the chords!

Bravo!

That first bit sounds like "Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me!" lol Nice and tranquil!

Such a pretty song, it feels so heartwarming! Grunt already pointed out that more dynamic variation would have helped, but personally I also think that this track would reach its full potential with more melody variation too. Still, I really like it!

This is a lovely little peace that I think fits the theme quite nicely. I especially liked the duet section at the end.

My feedback - while I like the way you wrote the melody, I think adding in more variation in the dynamics of their instruments would've helped this a bit. I think this track as a whole could use a bit of variation in that regard. For the most part this sounded like the lead instruments were playing at the same volume/intensity, which to my ears is not quite as musical as it could be. For example, you could have the instrument crescendo when rising in pitch and decrescendo when lowering in pitch. And something similar for the other instruments in the duet section.

Thanks for sharing what you made, keep up the good work :)
