It is such interesting music, I think it is incredibly atmospheric. I have never been to the cemetery you write about, but listening to the music I could imagine being there, reflecting on the histories of the place and the people buried there. The Graves setting (no pun intended) is very evocative, like all your music here. I was lucky enough to work with Peteris Vasks recently, and there is not a similarity but an affinity of style between you two (I hope you take that as a compliment!) Anyway, I can concoct stuff to a brief, but you are a real composer! And the orchestra sounds great!
All good wishes - Ben.

Thank you very much for your message regarding adding music tracks, and also your suggestion regarding live chat.
I've passed your comments on to the management and hopefully there will be more clear information on MusBook soon about music track copyrights.
Thanks so much for taking the time to send us your suggestions.
With best regards,
