This is another part of the soundtrack. It's when our hero meets his first companion in the story.

Nice work. :)

A nice song with good flow, but there are some parts I think can be improved.

The timpani could be used with some nice rolls slowly building up at a low velocity/volume. The opening arpeggio is nice, but there's some odd hit at ~14 that really messes things up. Consider a crescendo-ing cymbal 'roll' leading up to ~14 and the start. After, the melody is nice, but I think you should consider looking outside of woodwinds at perhaps having French Horn take the melody for a bit for some diversity in the song.

All in all, a nice piece. I have few comments.

Thanks for the comment. I know it ain't perfect, I'm really not happy with the timpanis and such. There's also the program I'm using wich lacks a bit (I can't do percussion rolls and some instruments can't do good crescendos) but I could do better. I tought about adding a counter-melody but I never had time for it.
