All these parts are so good, epic, adventurous, full, tense and that choir is just spine-tingling.

Hey Aletheia! Good to see you back.
The new sample libraries sound REALLY nice. Honestly, from like the first few seconds I was immediately reminded of the soundtrack from The Talos Principle. The choir paired with the violin (or fiddle? Same difference? Totally different instruments? I don't know!) at the end is particularly beautiful.

It's a great first song! It has a beautiful wide feeling, a traveling misty path besides river into the mountain valley. 2:47 is my favorite, the choirs and drums

Sounds epic—the choirs and the percussion-less cool-down outro really got my attention (especially that dark chord just before the end)

Oooo this is really lovely. Beautiful sounds and really well composed. Also the reverb is immense, I love it.

Thanks, everyone!

Yes, although funnily enough it's just the inbuilt Cubase one (Reverence with a concert hall impulse response) and a pinch of Native Instruments Raum - which is frequently given in cheap bundles or even for free.

Haha yes, the fiddle looks just like a violin - it's just that there may be small different details in terms of build and wood (thus slightly different texture) and sometimes they are tuned ever so slightly differently than classical ones. You could think the violin as the standardized product with very strict rules of design so it sounds "as required" in the concert hall while the fiddle was a violin made by a local, rural craftsman or even by the musician himself with whatever materials he had - since it was played at home, in taverns or at holiday gatherings.

Welcome back! Nice work on this one! Lots of dynamic sections and voices building off each other. It's really impressive to hear it, knowing how hard it is to pull off orchestral compositions. I like the little trill thingies (mordents? not sure about the name but it's like a super short trill) on the duduk and various instruments, to give the melodies a bit more movement. No catchy lines in this one but a great vibe overall. Definitely soundtrack ready.

Looking forward to your compositions this year, it's fun to follow your progress!

Oh man, I love the mix here.  So much movement and interest.  Everything is very nicely balanced, and it really lets the composition shine.  VERY well done piece.  ♡ ～('▽^人)
