"What can I say? In one word, epic."

This is brilliant. It makes me think of the first or final (or both) casting off of a massive ship.
One of the things that gives it its epic energy is the excellent staccato strings, keeps the song moving, even though the rest of the instruments suggest majestic, deliberate movement.
The tubular bells are placed perfectly to accent the song, and the percussion continues with the majestic exposition, with their awesome explosion at 0:22.
The horns, what can I say?
I just wish I could make something like this- I have so many abortions of projects it's just not funny.
Anyways, definitely McAwesome. And McEpic.

Author's Response:
I find that most of my projects never go anywhere - most of the time I spend a few hours on it and then decide it sounds like crap and move on to something else.
I'm glad you liked the horns - the French horn is the greatest thing since sliced bread, so I try to use it as much as possible.
Thanks for the review!
