This has been sitting on my sketch folder for too long!!!
There it goes...
Fly, little tune, fly!
I definitely see what you mean! It has to do mainly with me not having any idea of hierarchy in this piece...
How about the cadence in the end of this, though? I read your shout and, admittedly, I don't think of cadence that often. But this one had a V7 intentionally put there, although I give it a non-ending by repeating the starting motive again.

I like this, were I to change anything, I'd use some instruments that stand out from each other better, as sometimes it's hard to hear the main line from the homophony around it, especially when the main line drops down and isn't as separated from the others. xD
