Wow that is really cool. It would be some great soundtrack music for an epic movie. It kinda reminds me of The Gladiator in a sense. It also kinda reminds me of Enya (you can decide for yourself whether that is a good thing). You will want someone other than me to review the technical aspect of the piece. However, I can give you 2 thumbs up for your efforts so far.
I agree - the combination of low percussion and pizzicato strings is very Enya-ish. And the arco strings and horns mix generates that epic feeling. My only complaint is that the percussion is too prominent. The melody doesn't come out enough, and so you lose the sonority of the strings with the horns for the most part. In fact the only spot I felt the melody/harmony was even CLOSE to strong enough was when you bring in the VI harmony a little after a third of the way through.
