I like the title.
A very sombre mood well described.
The ending left me dangling.
The title does say it all.
I was expecting the 1st chord change to happen sooner but then it made sense.
In Iran, the hangman is still hanging today.
If you ever visit, don't get caught robbing someone or you may hear this song with tied hands.
Very nice.
I was trying to figure something out. It sounded like some of the tracks were using a swing groove and others were even. And in several places in the song, I couldn't figure out which one it was. Maybe that was just me and how I was hearing it..... The drums that started it were in a swing groove and then the music sounded even.... this continued throughout. Not too distracting.... but little things like that stick out to me.
I thought it was just a tad too long.... but again that's just a personal opinion

Ray that dangling ending was on purpose, much like what happens at the end of the march.
Thanx for being brave and listening and commenting on this one!

Thanx Steve. You will never see me visiting Iran or any other extreme Muslim country. Also include a communist country and Mexico to that list!
Very nice.

I tried to emphasize the difference between the police/guards taking the prisoner to the gallows. The police/guards were the drums and the other rhythmic parts the criminal, i.e. happy verses sad. Maybe I didn't get what I intended?
Yes, it probably is to long.
Thanx for listening and commenting.
Hi MarioD,
Nice atmosphere created. Quite gently, the choirs are perfect. Very pleasant.
Kindly regard

Warning this is a very dark ambient
The visual I got was March to the Gallows of the Warlock King.
Great cinematic backing.

Thanx so much. I had forgotten about the Warlock King march so thanx for reminding me of it.
Hey Mario,
Very spooky and foreboding!!
Would be great in a horror movie!!
Mario
Very evocative and well done.
A good moody piece.
Peter
Quite the mood you have set with this one, Mario! I could easily see this being used in a movie.
Very creative, well done!
This must have been a very important criminal to have such a march. Those drums call the whole town to join to see the justice. Man, you are so good at this, Mario. What a treat to hear your stories in such fine sounds that lift all kind of emotions from your listeners. I would expect a dirge to the gallows, but that would be from the prisoner's perspective. Now a New Orleans funeral march is quite different. Well done!!
Mario.
Great atmospheric piece.
There’s also an interesting rhythmical contrast going on like a heart fluttering.

Thanx Dave. I am a strong believer that with BiaB and a little creativity you can do any genre you wish.

Thanx Marty. I try to set moods with my songs that each listener can interpret their own way. With BiaB, MIDI, and a set of good MIDI sounds one can do wonders IMHO.

Thanx for listening and commenting Vic. I'm sure that criminal's heart was fluttering!
The lead synth gives your song a very nice John Carpenter feeling.
Good stuff.
Very good for a horror movie!
This would make a great candidate for film/tv placement via the sync libraries.
It could work for a host of scenes from sci-fi, to fantasy to medieval scenes and more.
Foreboding and spooky it is.
As always your performances on multiple tracks are amazing.

I never thought about a medieval theme before but you are right. This could be used as the armies march toward each other just before the big battle.
Thanx for listening and commenting.
I agree with David, horror movie sync placement in your future for this one.
The synths give it a very Jean Michel Jarre vibe.
Add some theremin and you've got it!
Fun listen.

I like it dark. Especially chocolate.
The darkness is what makes this fascinating to my ears (that and it being a darn good composition)
One of my favorites.
String him up, Hoss!
Mario,
Cool tune. Intro sucks right in. Very neat textures. Yep, as others mentioned has strong Jarre feel (which is a good thing)
You know what I think can be interesting, if you add a second parallel melody of higher pitch woodwind.
Smooth listen. Thank you for sharing.

Mario,
The song is exactly what the title says.
It can be used immediately as a soundtrack for movies with such content.
Great selection of VST instruments.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Hi, brother !
I´m lucky to have
escaped that march
at least for the moment ? uh !
You are right on the spot
with these notes it really
feels creepy but at the
same time it is mighty sublime !
A masterpiece that could go
very nicely in a film !
Cheers
Dani

Thanx Dani. I appreciate your kind words.
PS - I'm glad that you did escape that march!
Great sounds Mario! Like I have said before, I'm a huge fan of cinematic sound traks. I have written a few in my early days of music making.
Loved it.

the midi king strikes again...wowser...superb.
i got a bit of a pink floyd vibe from this mate.
love that cymbal crash n' the voices.
yep great for a film.

I'm not so sure about the MIDI king comment but I am glad that you liked this one.
Very cool tune Mario. Boy did you get some cool sounds from your keyboard. I dabble with mine in spurts. Very creative. One walk I would not want to take.

Thanx so much Scott for those very nice comments. I have been collecting MIDI sounds since the late 1980s so I do have a lot of them.
