Powerfull
A powerfull peice that really displays the Scotland. I feel there are a few allmost roman sounds to the music but these are easy to overlook. The strings work very well together and I'm sure the composer worked hard to get that Bagpipes sound come out on the strings. Well done; I'd like to hear more of this from you.
