Leaning peaks

here is a song I wrote about leaning peaks. 

Awesome harmonies, love the mix too. You have a flair for color, and this is drenched in it. 

So this is part of a suite, right? Multi-movement so I get to hear more of this type of stuff from you?

thanks man

A remarkable work - grand, powerful and with some great twists to the harmony. What strikes me foremost are: it builds up to a climax that portrays vastness, power and solidity; and it flows coherently beginning to end. Good balance too, your awareness of how the brass at ff will drown almost everything else out. That's how it is with orchestras and full tuttis.  

It would have been nice to see a score just to see what you were doing here and there but...a good listen all the same.  

Cheers.

I'm always on @Left Unexplained's case for writing such short sketches! Short and sweet is sometimes warranted, but a beautiful piece like this deserves to get a little more "run time". I would love to see you expand on this. But I absolutely love the counterpoint in the first half of the piece. I know you said offline that this was meant to be a contrapuntal study (should be in the description of this piece so we have more context!), so I was hoping you would have expanded more on that, especially during the second half.

Regarding the audio in 2nd half, it gets a bit too loud for my ears, and I had to lower my volume halfway through the piece.

The theme is really great though, and I found myself humming the theme in my head.

Ah, it's been awhile since I've heard your cues. Still as awesome as you were a few years back when I last heard your work. Thanks for sharing!

Quality music here.

I love how it sounds. Near 1:15 some woodwinds (if I'm not mistaken) add some underlying rhythmic material that despite not being repeated ever again, fits with the rest of the piece. In fact, this is my favourite chunk... Though the ending is EPIC.

Kind regards,
Daniel–Ømicrón.

yes bassoon then doubled with oboe and English horn, the most whiny combo in the orchestra lolol! I love how they sound together esp in mysterious areas of a piece. Thank u for being so nice to my dear works brah!

Thanks man. Glad youre back. ❤️ 

I love the really intriguing melody in this and the great rhythmic variety.  The oom-pahs you introduce at 1:09 remind me of Danny Elfman for some reason.  I could have sworn that there was some place in this piece where you introduced more counterpoint with woodwinds, but maybe that was another version?  Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful theatrical music for film and/or stage.  Mysterious and inviting at the same time ... quite romantic.  Film Noir for sure!  A fine balanced orchestration - among the winds, brass and strings ... You do set the scene ....
