Description / Purpose:
Finally! I spent my whole Christmas Eve on this song. I wanted a rich orchestral sound whilst still retaining my usual tastes. I aimed for this to be over five minutes long, and it seems that I have done that. I even put up a pic for this song:P
This is my second piece composed on Fruity Loops 8. I was kinda going anywhere with piece, but at the same time keeping in track with the theme.
The first 26 seconds of the song is supposed to be a slow, film score-like opening. A scene where the view pans over the battle field. At 27 seconds you will hear the main piano melody for Elohim’s Ballad (if you’ve heard it). When the snare drums kick in at 41 seconds I imagine you would see the two armies of soldiers marching to Valhalla, weapons in hand. Parts of it should sound like a battle, such as at 1:22 – 2:30, which was inspired by Elohim’s March (dannyboyk2’s arrangement on Elohim’s Ballad). At 2:31, it would sound film-score style again, and at this point both sides would have reached the battlefield and the camera would pan over the battlefield once again, also giving a look over at each others cannons, catapults, etc. At 2:58 you would probably hear my classic opening battle motif that is usually played with a low piano. In this song it’s played with a very low spiccato violin. At 3:40 is where I change things up a bit, and take a little interlude from the whole epic serious battle theme and tried for a baroque-ish style. At 3:53 I think I did well to flow back into the serious, epic battle theme. And at 4:21, well it’s just epic.
