[@BenElliottSound]

Stunningly gorgeous work, Holland! Incredibly emotive. Pulls at the heart.

[@stefan.kraus-composer]

Congratulations, Holland! This is such a wonderful piece that has rightly made it.

[@HollandAlbright]

Thank you so much! 🎵

[@Grabbydabby]

You're actually my favorite music composer right now. I'm not kidding.

[@HollandAlbright]

I wish there were a stronger/better way to express gratitude in words, but that really means so much, thank you. That made my day.

[@Grabbydabby]

@@HollandAlbright I found you before realizing that you made that one song that was used in a geometry dash level. As a former gd player, what the frick is this coincidence.

[@Malmezo]

My heart ache. I’m fallen. There’s no hope. I thought I could save her…… She…… She was a fairy.

Absolutely gorgeous, this absolutely deserved to win! Those final piano chords, dissonant with the strings but gorgeous major 7ths, were perfect. I loved the sections in-between the melodies too, how you worked through different key areas. The violins' entrance after rehearsal D was gorgeous, I can absolutely picture playing that in the orchestra with a light touch!

[@HollandAlbright]

Thanks so much, Joshua! That spot you mentioned after rehearsal D was one of my favorite parts of this one. I think with a live orchestra it might be really shimmery/magical ✨

[@joshuaiyer1434]

@@HollandAlbright 哇！你怎么会中文的！

[@HollandAlbright]

@@RicardoMLu-dq9rx Many years ago, I learned some Chinese in school, but I only remember some words like "thank you", "hello", and "goodbye". I'm using Google Translate here. (很多年前，我在学校学过一点中文，但我只记得一些像“谢谢”、“你好”、“再见”这样的词。我在这里使用谷歌翻译。)

日本のファンです。いつも楽しみにしています。 偶然にも自分も直近、同じ調性の同じテンポの曲をアップしたばかりですので作っているときの音をひねり出しているときの 感覚が蘇っております。（ぼくは楽器が弾けないので頭で考えて譜面にしているため） もちろん足元にも及びませんけれど。。。（時間があったら聴いてみてkzbin.info/www/bejne/mqCQqK2Qnbmtoac） それにしても本当にいい音ですね。毎度感心しきり。。。 引き続きよろしくお願いいたします。

[@HollandAlbright]

どうもありがとうございます！興味深い偶然ですね。あなたが私に送ってくれた曲は何からインスピレーションを受けましたか？

[@journey3451]

聴いていただいたのですね！ 大変ありがとうございます。 日本ではお盆休みという習慣があって地方から都会に出てきている人は故郷に帰ります。故郷で見る月と家族や旧友と見る花火大会の花火をイメージしてみました。 ノスタルジックなイメージです。

link of kontak library arp please

[@HollandAlbright]

It's the one that comes free in the Kontakt Factory Library (which is free if you have a full version of Kontakt). In the Factory Library, go to the "Orchestral" folder, then "VSL Strings" and it's in there.
