July 12, 20223 yr The second movement of this World War Two symphony expands on the Nazi theme introduced in the last half of the Prelude movement. This German-styled march evokes a celebratory tone as the Nazi war machine rapidly advances its way through Western Europe, paving the way for a new Third Reich. Please let me know what you think about this piece that was composed and sequenced entirely on the Roland FA-06 Workstation and recorded on the Tascam SD-24. I did some light processing with Audacity.

July 12, 20223 yr Good solid piece for brass/military band. Instrumental balance sounds fine but in the absence of a score I can't be sure of what's going on. A good length too. To me it achieves your stated aim and is a pretty clever composition. No critique about the production. Presumably it's how you want it to sound. I'm using Beyerdynamic studio phones. Great. Thanks for giving it an airing here.
July 12, 20223 yr I agree with Quinn. This is one of those clever pieces that is "ominously Major," and brings to mind the Imperial March of Star Wars fame. One thing I noticed and that felt out of place is that all of the woodwind trills were performed on the semitone (half-step). Especially during the middle "major" section, those would sound better if performed at a whole step, in my opinion. Enjoyable piece. I also took a listen to the Prelude you mentioned. I look forward to hearing more of this interesting symphony!
July 12, 20223 yr Author Thanks for the feedback on the trills. I was relying on the Roland auto trill specific to that piccolo but now that you mention it, a whole step would be better.
