This track is used in my upcoming console RPG inspired mod, "True Colors Of A Hero". Its a character theme used for the female lead, one whose innocence and goodwill struggle to survive in a wolrd torn apart by hatred and war.
Flute and clarinet take the lead, with backing from a full string section including harp. Theres also a section featuring a Pipa and a Daegum (the Pipa is a kind of Chinese lute, the Daegum is a sort of Korean flute).
It might be difficult to find use for it outside of a character theme, but I felt I should start sharing the more recent music i've been doing.
Look out for much more music from "True Colors Of A Hero" coming this way.
If you'd like to check out how the mod is coming along, take a look at -
Not bad, though it's in my opinion a little 'overloaded' with all these different flutes. It'd use some sort of contrasting tune, some silent strings or drums. _________________________ [...] And the world was created. [...]
Definitely one of the best original musical pieces out there for NWN. This piece continues to touch me even after having heard it many times over the past year or two.

Hey Hetaera - thanks for the vote and comments. I know what you mean though - for one of the few pieces that I wrote that wouldn't loop, I could have done anything at the end and instead bottled out with a fade-out (not exactly the most exciting way to end a piece). For the most part now I focus on making tracks seamlessly loop, but I should keep in mind next time I make a non-looping piece to make it interesting at the end. :)

Because I am a flute player, you had my attention from the first notes, but the ending felt weak. This actually reminded me of a ballad called "She's Like the Swallow", for some reason. I liked the slightly sad, but generally serene feel.

A perfect piece for a sad and dramatic scene. I used it tonight for just such a thing, and it had a big impact on my players.
