Not all styles can be tracked so easily. The orchestral compositions are hard to be composed, because of some samples limitations. But there're still brave people which're trying to break this limit. Here is the sample of such courage try. I've found only two serious troubles here. First of all, I can't recognize the MAIN THEME. But I allow this was the author's special idea. Some sound effects (like twinkles or china bells) and instruments are unplaced a bit. They're sounding illogical in the whole line. That's the second trouble. This tune needs no power, it needs a balance of samples volumes. Panning is good, quality of the samples has nothing extraordinal too. I can be wrong, but sometimes it seems the whole sound line is hindering itself. Low frequency samples (like bass) should be shifted down a little, there volume need some decreased. String samples have too high frequency - tune is suffering from high repeat rates.
