Hey, mrhawi, great effort on your first quartet, simple, yet effective! It definitely does sound like a quartet. I liked the arrangement and the effective use of each stringed instruments, they were used accordingly to the composition and thought the woodwinds gave it a good compliment to this music score. There's much potential there, but I thought it ended a tad prematurely, nothing wrong with that, even short songs have that "pizzazz" about them.
Looking forward to hearing more of your submissions, as always.
Wow fateliante, iI'm flattered by all that you said, because you are like my idol here, i really love all your music =). Thanks for the feedback =D, yeah i lost the inspiration at the end, but was my first try =(.

I'm Glad see you here in this forum ... i know the quality of your songs already .. and im sure people here will think same too .. Its a fact just need hear them for know about it ...
This is a really good composition, mrhawi, very well done in timing the composition, especially the rest at 1:03 to transition smoothly into the next verse was a nice touch! I like the different combination of instruments that compliments the melody. Nicely done singling out the Harp at the end. This is very good material in which you should feel proud about.
I agree with khachuchrian, it does remind a little like a scene from FF12.
I listened to a few more tracks and here are some thoughts!
Stand Up - Has a very noble feel to it, could fit quite well as a character theme as well as something quite adventurous. I especially liked the harp(?) bit at the end. Wrapped up the piece very well.
Calm - The name fits very well. What stood out the most was the stick in the melody at around 0:50. Very sweet sounding. Almost endearing.
Un Regalo Olvidado - Like the previous song, a very calm and soothing song. I like the double reed it sounds quite sweet. The switch-up in the end keeps it from getting repetetive, I like it!
Once You Touch The Wind - This reminds me a lot of the older sonic soundtracks. Especially Flying Battery Zone. This is my favourite of what I've heard so far. Brilliant!
Keep it going!

Thanks for the comments Stern!. Stand up fits very well on a character theme (i didnt find a place to that composition, thanks to you now i can use it (: ). You have the same vision that me in the other themes, because i want to use in that way on my game.
Hey, mrhawi, awesome job on the newest composition. Very catchy! This would definitely be more fitting for a main character theme, kinda reminds me of an even-more upbeat version of Ayla's Theme from Chrono Trigger. lol
En La Misticidad is a pretty cool theme, I think this would work more for something like a mischevious scene. Some sections sound really good leading up to a decent crescendo at the ending section. I can also hear a bit of velocity changes between the treble and bass signature piano which sound great, in my opnion, it gives it more personality to your composition.
As for Camille's Theme, this is a really nice theme, when I hear it, for some reason it reminds me of Final Fantasy VI. I think you just brought back my interest in playing FF6 all over again! lol
Great work altogether, mrhawi! Looking forward to hearing more compositions.

Thanks for the response Fateliante, "En la misticidad" was an old theme that I "remasterized" with new VST. I think that the theme is simple but its catchy. I'm glad that you like it, because you're like my idol here.
Here, another theme, this is the boss theme of my game:

Wow, I love En Guarde! ^^ The only thing that was strange to me was from 0:55 to 1:20 (it sounds off-beat, though I can't say that it really was). But otherwise it's great. =D
Thanks X-M-O for your response, in the part that you mention, I guess that the problem is the equalization (the string its very difficult to hear), but it's ok.
HEre new theme, as the name says, its an attempt of "Abstract Song":
