Nick,
Nice Job on the final. I liked the serial piano music quite a bit. You constructed some very good rows which I think led to matrices that provided you with excellent compositional material. I think you would do well to explore serialism a bit.... perhaps even expand on these matrices in the future if so inclined.
The harmonic piece was also good but I would have liked to have heard or at least seen a bit more construction of your harmonic progessions... especially using non triadic voice leading techniques. The leading tone concept in your usages is excellent and worth expanding in your composition. When working with these kinds of harmonic constructions you can think of well defined harmonic passages as single units in a similar manner as you would consider a V-I progression a cadential unit. The orchestration in the piece is also nicely done and I am happy to see some writing from you that can be executed by ensembles of varying abilities.
