"Return of The King" - Work in Progress?

Featured Replies

Does the choir seem too indistinguishable, or does it smoothly blend in harmony? What about the violin? I tend to be a perfectionist, but then again I know I have a lot to learn in the music realm, so any feedback or critiques you can offer I would greatly appreciate! How is the overall beat? Is it too prominent/ not prominent enough? Not enough instruments or too many? Spacial awareness of the instruments? Vowels of the chior? Just a bit to contemplate while listening. Thanks in advance for your time! 

Here is the song: https://soundcloud.com/karisalclark/return-of-the-king-by-karisa-l-clark/s-RRMEI

 

Bonus points if you can tell which artist and song inspired me for this piece!

To me, it was a very pleasant and, at times, emotionally stirring listen. Perhaps a bit repetitive, although I don't think that's quite as much a problem in filmscore as it is in "serious" classical music. I'm no mixing expert, but everything sounded of professional quality IMHO. The choir meshed very well with the backbeat of the drums, and the soaring violin was not overbearing by any means. Sounded like it could've easily been lifted from a film!

It looks like you've put a great deal of effort into this and I'd say your final product reflects that. Great job!

My guess is Harry Gregson-William's scores from the The Chronicles of Narnia. Not sure of the exact song name (Title Song? lol), but I do hear similar chord progressions and drum sequences.

Well I like the piece. 
I'm liking how the vocals create a bed for the other

melodic elements.

If I can offer a suggestion.. maybe try to create more space

in the track through reduction.
