Something I've been neglecting to put up because of the length. But, I like it too much to let it go to waste.
Enjoy!

There are clipping issues in the latter part of this. And I don't think I heard a clarinet...unless it was playing in the same range as the bassoon, which could be the case, since I misread 'quartet' for 'quintet' (I wrote a woodwind quintet these past two-three months).
Other than that, I liked the arrangement. It portrayed the Great Sea as a calmer, gentler place than the original song, though that could be the absence of a snare drum. Although for it to make it on to OCR, you'd probably have to be a bit more liberal with the theme, really giving it your own flair as opposed to directly transcribing it for four instruments.

Well, there isn't a Clarinet. Just Flute, Oboe, Bassoon and Contra Bassoon (for added bass). And I'll re-work it so I can nix out those clipping issues.
And that's another thing, not much else I can do with this composition. Probably because I just used the lead part from the original and added my own arrangement for everything else.

Well, you could always lengthen it and flesh out the theme a bit more...however, if you're satified with it, I'd understand. Been there myself.

Well, there's always the possibility. Never know when I'll have a spark of creativity to add more to it.

For some of the held notes, I feel that there is too much overall vibrato. It makes it seem a little robotic in that manner. It sounds pretty good so far, but I hope you add more "energetic" parts later on.
