Here's my submission to the MAC8-Music to Motion. This was one of my favorite MACs so far! The idea was to basically score for short animation. You can find the video with my score here..

I really tried to capture certain moments in the animation with the score. I hope everything came across to the audience as well as it did in my head. Anyway, please tell me what you think!

"Moving and emotional"

date: September 8, 2009

Excellently arranged piece. I love the percussion used in the beginning, as well as the timbre of the instruments. It has a medieval feeling to it, and all the strings give it that feeling. The flute arpeggio ostinato at 1:01 was very powerful, and I love the mellow part that comes after it with the horns. This song has a great feeling to it and I love the emotions that are evoked throughout the song. The sudden, quick ending I also feel is appropriate. Great job mate!

"I'm not exaggerating when I say..."

1:01-1:29 is the most beautiful musical sound I have ever heard in my life. As a Christian, I can only describe it as the closest musical likeness to the love of Christ I've yet to hear, and I write this more emotionally moved by a piece of instrumental music than I've ever been. I only wish it were longer; it's over so quickly and while the rest of the song is great, it simply pales in comparison to the absolute beauty of that sound. I keep pulling the slider back to the beginning of the song before it's finished just so I can hear the buildup to and the playing of the sound. :P

I BEG you - out of sheer selfishness to hear the sound in 1:01-1:29 glorified even more - to one day make a longer, similar song with it as the chorus. I'm not asking you, because it's your creation and asking you to change something about it would be overstepping my bounds as the listener; I'm begging you.

Regardless, thank you very much for creating this sound for me to hear.
