Victorian Waltz - DanGoldstein

Nice melody! I could sleep to this :)

As someone who, long ago, fell in love with someone from further south, I can identify with the feeling of this composition. I do not, however, generally identify with victorian sort of classical. I like what you've done with the composition on this one. I'm not sure if it is the victorian style or something else, but I found myself wishing for more variation in the velocity of the instruments. It seems that I am alone in this, as the recent MIDI stems I have downloaded are all static in their velocity. It is probably something I must adapt to, along with a list of other things. I think your composition is improving greatly, as well as your mixing abilities! I enjoyed listening! I had no idea that there was some sort of competition going on... I'm assuming because of my absence from social media. If there is time left, then let me know, and I will try to get involved. Good track!

wow Beautiful composition.Love it.

Hey Dan! i gotta say straight away im not a classical guy im more synths and 808's than strings and brass haha but with that said i really enjoyed this it was really soothing and calm which i enjoy no matter the genre.

Awesome work man!

The song itself was wonderfully composed. I can only imagine what you could do if you had the high-end VSTs. You told a story with the simplicity of two instruments and that in and of itself is an accomplishment. Great work!

Brado

Very nicely done! I love the simplicity of it, just two instruments blending together perfectly. I especially enjoyed the strings.

Hey Dan

Mate this hits right from the very start, love the feelings you have gotten into this piece, little bit of sad, hope, love...Excellent clarity of the mix mate, would go out on a limb and say this one is my all time fav track of yours, amazing piece, very impressed...FAV'D big time...Peace n respect matey...mosaic...Rarely download tracks mate but this one crying out to be downloaded, thank you for sharing this one...Mos...

Cool song

The Victorian era is such a fascinating time. The music fits the story and makes me think of that one I did a few years ago Moonlight dance. Maybe this is the same ballroom for both tunes, just different times, in mine they're all ghosts ;) There was a really cool series on you tube about household killers in the victorian and Edwardian eras, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_x0JgAo2v8 It's a wonder anyone survived! What's the competition? Not sure I'll have time to do much of anything, just have soooo much going on :/ I do know cigar box guitars were around in the civil war era though B-D

Wow.....the moment I heard your piece I could feel my spirit wonder off This the type of music where u find yourself zoned out in an attempt
to explore the galaxy yet in your body
Thank you, sir
Keep doing what you do

As a man who romanticises the Victorian era this is very pleasing to my ears.. I would enjoy a whole album in this style, it would make for great reading music.. You've captured your description well, although I did find my mind drifting back to my childhood, playing The Ocarina Of Time.. Great memories inspired by great music.. Thank you my friend :)

Hearing great music like this, and others here, I feel inspired to make some actual compositions.

This is nice Dan, peaceful, sullen, and a bit haunting. The chord changes are what is the best part, that along with a simple composition, 2 instruments. You captured the feel of the Victorian age with this track.

I also think the ending was cool, leaving it hanging is a great idea. People are not expecting it to end in the middle of the run. That's good songwriting!

Think I will check out that Victorian contest, I write in 3/4 from time to time so that might be fun. Thanks Dan!

Cheers!

I read the description ,then clicked on play.....Perfect fit for the scenario.Nice work

Def matches the type of scene described D. I like your recent creations, getting more involved and expressive creations man. Solid capture of old sounds and presentation is vividly entertaining. Hope all is well, keep going man! The picture on your site does convey the vibe closely, ancient mysterious I see you still working on. Awesome, thank you for sharing with us D. Peace.
