I love in initial Big Country Copeland style big galloping percussion, high flutes and that mix of violins and trumpets but also fanfare in the French Horn and flute. This helps create that perfect western, native American\/ civil war feel with that singe Flugel Horn I believe trumpets in the break added wonderfully to the feel and visuality of the piece.very emotive, heroic and patriotic superb ending, excellent use of contrapuntal melodies. The horns are particularly, I love the thread of the piece also, I was in the place with that mountain in Maine, I was a cowboy, I was an indian, I was in the mountains and canyons. A really excellent piece of work. <\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>It felt like a bigger more melodically memorable phrase would arrive or motif should have been in the arrangement. The piece was very clever and told a story but without a main character if that analogy makes sense. There was a lot of tense build up and drops but no big pay off, Think about Star Wars: A New Hope and that initial Williams score had all the memorable catchy heroic parts, even Vaders theme is heroic in its own dark way yet still has emotive drops and lifts. You have all the pieces in there and all the drama and shifts from dark to light are excellent, but it does get a little scattered in parts, I Bit like bits of Candide by my hero Leonard Bernstein.Obviously Im aware that you are writing pieces that are to impress music supervisors off the bat and Im sure when given a script and a brief you will be able to write them excellently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Tom MyronSong: Katahdin (Greatest Mountain)Reviewer: Mamma FreedomPositive Comments: This is a superb piece off arranging, instrumentation and dynamics.
