Hi, Brian.

I hadn't heard the anthem before.

I liked the second arrangement a lot more.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

WOW, a very compelling piece of music here, Brian. Each instruments sings the way their makers would want them to, and you place them in such a fine mix. But the real gem is the write, man. Extraordinary! Very moving. Thanks.


Enjoy whatever happens!

I looked forward to the 2nd section...anthems being a little too manipulative for my taste.
I was rewarded as part two - the peace section I suppose - starts off with some ominous & aggressive moves but gentler melody and embracing arrangement, albeit occasionally interrupted by dark foreshadowing. This part ended all too soon.


Cheers

Some astute observations there, Ray. This is very much a work in progress. Some parts need more work than others and there is probably room to add another scene or two.

Thanks, Marty.

There are a few musical phrases I intend to tidy up (bassoon, for example) and the timing could be improved here and there. It's on my ever-growing to-do list.

Gentle, and persuasive. A pleasant ballad, based on a beautiful anthem. I did like the segue transition after the first minute.

So much to like about this presentation.

Wow! Janice said she felt like she was listening to the score for different scenes from a ballet performance. You’ve done a great job of making us feel the different emotions of war and peace.

Excellent arrangement, production and mix.

Well done!
