epichorns

Not that it is necessarily a bad thing :-) Some make millions o' bucks doing exactly what you just did (*cough* Zimmer *cough*). The only difference: they add Storm Drums 2 to it, and use thousands worth of libraries and hundred of thousands worth of computers, and get insane publicity from people like Spielberg McTiernan and others. If this is where you want to go, this is a step in the right direction :cool:

Interesting take on this style... Maybe a bit in the vein of Copland's Appalachian Spring, as orchestrated for a band. Nice feeling to it. Just my 2 cents: harmony wise, was it all planned to have semi-naked chord progressions? I mean it could be naked in the beginning, and then one could have used a harmony growing in complexity and completeness to generate an emotional climax, so as to complement your orchestration at the end with the timpanis and all... I will attempt to clarify my thoughts here by sending an example score, when I have the time...

This is a modernized composition based on the famed Sederunt Principes, an organum written by Perotin in the (very) olden days. Sederunt v.2
