Nice job, Richard!

I think you really nailed it!

Good luck!

I'm hoping to finish mine by the deadline.

Oh dear David, your Instrumental "Happy Ever After" is so very lovely.

I have goose bumps all over me, listening to it.

Your Grand Children have very good taste ! :) It is going to be a Forward as well, this is a sure thing.

You excelled in emulating the calm Jean Sebastien BACH feel and it is light, tender, and your arpeggio is totally perfect. And the coming of the Cello at 43 seconds is just so well done.

Blessings, Hector

Hi Richard
Sounds great to me! It seems like it hits everything asked for in the listing. Not exactly sure what their definition of "really simple" is and if this (or even the Bach piece) fits that. I have to think they are talking more about the instrumentation than the composition in this case, but who knows. But "hopeful, intelligent, and slightly dreamy or whimsical" - yep, absolutely hearing all of that. Good luck!

You're giving them what they're asking for. I especially dig the cello intro and the general sonority of the keyboard.

You hit the nail on the head,

Now I believe that is called 'grown up' music, isn't it? Richard, ahhhhh, NO ONE captures baroque like you. Listened to the reference Bach!! and I think that you nailed it!!! Loved it. Uplifting, sweet but again, with that mathematical intrigue that only baroque can provide. I think this is EXACTLY what they're looking for. IMO IMO IMO!!! I'm of the 'you're in' camp!!

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate your comments (and blessings!).

Well, you never know what will happen once it reaches the screener, but I'm hoping for the best. I'm either going for Baroque or broke. We'll see! :)

Richard

Ah thank you for this information.

Blessings, Hector
re-reading the listing I think I was i error here. looks like since its a web commercial, it may be 2 minutes in length.

Hi Richard,

Wow - really great! So inventive!....And it just keeps evolving.

I love your lean-in at the :43 second mark, and the way you wrapped.

Best of luck,
Juliet
