Great orchestral piece. I like the palette of emotions your track brings to the table. I would've worked a little bit on making the sounds more clear, as sometimes they feel a little bit muddy. Aside from that - cool dynamics and even more cool emotional journey. Take care.

Great build-up and crescendo around 0:50. The orchestration is lovely throughout the whole track, and I love how it progresses. Great work!

The composition is the highlight for sure! It's very moving and I was engaged the whole way through. This is a really nitpicky critique, but I think you should use a solo cello sample in the beginning instead of an entire string section. I think it would add even more emotional weight when the whole orchestra comes in after the solo. Great work!

I don't have a lot to say besides really great composition and orchestration, well done :) !

I love this, honestly I aspire to be able to write such solidly composed orchestral music. It sounds really cinematic, and I like how the same motif keeps coming back through the whole track. I would have liked to hear more about the game idea behind this but other than that this is fantastic work!

I really like how you developed the main motif, I find it very memorable and easily identifiable! The pacing is well done as well! Great orchestral piece, nicely done!

Really nice piece, love the orchestration and composition. I like how restrained it feels, nothing is competing with anything else, it's not fully bombastic all the way, but brings out the brass and strings when it needs to.

Awesome music!

:]

Lovely piece, nice play on expression and emotions you did a great story telling in music well done arrangment, good job :)

This track is beautifull 

I love the colors you used, it's very well written. Orchestration is also very solid, the way you group and use the different instruments is inspiring to me.

Lovely journey, well done !

the orchestration of this piece is lovely... i really love how the various instrument sections get chances to shine in various ways throughout. and your careful crafting of the volume dynamics throughout is awesome! ^^

there's a grand atmosphere to it that makes it very fitting for a fantastical movie... unfortunately i don't watch enough movies to give a specific example LOL but it's amazing regardless!!

this was beautiful! i really enjoyed how the composition moves and transitions from the louder and quieter sections. the staccato strings in the middle were especially nice, and i liked the way you balanced the instruments stereo-wise. well done!

Submitted(+1)

The progression throughout the track is great, starting with just the strings and building into that swell felt huge. I liked the transition into the staccato strings at around 1:07 too, felt a post-victory celebration and now you're free to run around and explore. Really just wish there was more, great stuff!

It's really nice to hear an orchestral piece! No very common in these jams. I would love hear it performed live 👀

Nice work!

Great use of the strings! I originally had some in mine but I ended up going with the solo piano. What chords did you use? 

Submitted(+1)

Really nice piece! I love how it starts off so quiet and takes a while to gradually crescendo into full orchestration. Really nice melodies and articulations throughout; great understanding of how to properly compose for individual components within the orchestra, even down to the instrument positioning in the stereo-field. The piece as a whole has an almost-regal vibe to it, but in a more understated way than how most would approach that kind of vibe.

Great work, this is one of the better orchestral pieces I've heard. Best of luck!

i like how the string plucks handover the rhythm to the percussion at like 1:24, that was a nice touch

Time for cinematic orchestra! Good work :>

Rawr!

Lovely orchestral piece, I felt like I was transported to the past that I've never been in before xD

Another absolutely stunning orchestral song on here WOW, this is nice

Very nice and clean, I like the feeling of solemnity around 1'05. 

A beautiful piece!
