I made this celtic-medievalish like melody, that I need some review/comments on.

Just do it in this thread, thanks.

LOVED it!! !! :D Did you ever see Franco Zefferelli's "Romeo and Juliet"? Your melody would have a home at the Capulet's feast.

It sounded pretty good. How about arranging it for tinflute and Irish harp?

The Celtic Harp VST isn't sounding realistic enough, but I do have a Renaissance Harp VST (Medieval Legends VST).
The same could be said about the Tin Whistle, but I can replace it with a Soprano Flute from Medieval Legends. It has a really nice sound.

I will return to this thread when I have uploaded such a version.

I am glad you like it :)

I should have made myself more clear. If you were going to publish this piece in standard musical notation, I'd arrange it for tin whistle and Irish harp.

It's still a good piece, regardless.

Could you try and eleborate?
I don't understand musical notation. I just played this piece using software, and recorded it.
I can convert it to MIDI and then to Sheet.

Niiiiiiiiice. I feel like I could slow-dance to it (if I could dance, that is).
P.S. And then, when that piece finished, the website went on to (of it's own accord) another one of yours - Tourdion (with bagpipes??) and that was very nice too. :D
