I think this is a great piece that draws from classical tradition in a beautiful way. I like the instrumentation, the oboe (I think) is a good way to introduce the piece in a more mysterious way, and then the horns take over for added impact. I also like the story bit you wrote!
Melody Clarity 5/5
I think the melody stands out quite clearly.
Melody Impact 3/5
I do like the melody quite a lot, but it never really cashes in an emotional payoff. Maybe it's just because this is a sketch, but the melody doesn't really arrive at a conclusion so to speak? It's interesting, but doesn't reach a high point in my opinion.
Composition 3/5
I think in terms of melody and harmony this is very well composed. The track as a whole is a bit short and feels more like a piece of a bigger work. So the thing I'm missing here is a greater sense of structure and development.
Listenability 4/5
I enjoyed this! Not 100% what I would listen to at my free time, it's more of an anxious piece, but I think that's part of the lore. In a tense scene this would feel right at home.
Correlation to Theme 4/5
I think I get the theme here but it really needs the context of your description for the track. It fits the scene you described well imo!
This track is short but sweet, I think it's one of the more interesting (in a good way!) pieces I've listened to so far. Good job!
