Lament:I listened to this one first and enjoyed it very much. It is a very pretty piece of music but does not seem to fit the definition of a Lament particularly ("a passionate expression of grief, often in music, poetry or song form. The grief is usually often born of regret of mourning"[Wikipedia]). It looks to be not overly difficult and would therefore be enjoyable for leisure playing. There are some clashes near the end with respect to the engraving.

Carpe Diem:I felt this to be an excellent piece with a reverent feeling. The key change was made very smoothly about halfway through. It is a beautiful piece and very professionally done. With Wikipedia again as the reference (that I used), Carpe Diem is "a Latin Aphorism usually translated to "seize the day" takes from a poem in the Odes (book 1, chapter 11)in 23 BC by the poet Horace. Literally means to "enjoy the day"; however, upon further reading down about the poem, I did feel that this piece appropriately captures the sense of the entire meaning. Well done.

I know, just a bit despondent, not your fault.

If I had my wits about me would probably have put The Surge in..

Hi - just a quick thank you to every body that participated, voted and commented.
I think lady luck was with me on this one - hardly snowed under with entries, and Tony entered the other category!

You may all be pleased to know that the publishing company Safemusic has expressed an interest in Carpe Diem for next year!
