Just like it says.  Here is some main theme music for some CC.

I like it, but I think its too short. Sounds like the music in the beginning of 7 Days a Skeptic.

Very nice! The arrangement is quite professional. The theme is full of feeling, and will suit an adventure game well.
The only thing I can think of is that the initial few bars are slightly too...uninteresting? Perhaps change the instrument to something more original, perhaps an organ, or some glockenspeil.
Otherwise, really good work.

Hey very nice tune,

I still got some critics though :)

The pianotune you've created is great, but in my opinion, it lacks dynamic. Each piano-note has the same volume which makes it sound very computery, if you know what I mean.

The volume of the vibe is a bit too loud on my general midi, but that could be different on yours ofcourse.

Last point of critics,
the drums don't match the style I think. Maybe you should use some Timpani's and other orchestral percussions

Just my point of view,

Needs more velocity dynamics in the piano part. In the piano solo part a bit past half-way, make the lower notes sustain so all the notes aren't the same length and mechanical.

Nice bullets you got there. :)

Looking forward to hearing the updated song!

EDIT: Whoops, one more thing that I'd like to mention to you: somewhere in the very middle of the song, you play a F major chord, and the vibraphone plays an Ab -- the minor third. So that makes the entire chord an Fmaj (#9). I'm not sure if that note is the one you want; you might want to move it to an A to make it less dissonant.

That's a great piece of music! I like love it a lot.

Pity it was so short...
