This is a triumphant song using the full spectre of symphonic instruments, ranging from deep percussion, heavy brass - to the arpeggiated strings and piccolo flute.
This is a rather complex piece, where I have focused much of the time I spent on creating melodies that should be complementary to each other - as well as a focus on the dynamic between instruments.

At this piece I had little time to adjust levels of volume and velocity - so expression is fairly sketchy in my humble opinion.
Based upon a theme written by Nathan Allen Pinard, I changed some of the values of notelengths - as well as added pausing to it.

I hope this could prove to be a good listen, and I hope you enjoy.

- Christian Sandviknes

You are probably one of the greatest orchestrators here on newgrounds, I mean seriously this kicks ass.

Its a pity you only submit 2-3 songs a year, because your quite talented. the variation in this song is very good, not to mention the composition itself. Very good, hope to see more eventually!

"Too much percussion."

date: August 17, 2009

I think the cymbals were used to often. The other percussion instruments were fine, just the cymbals. Everything else was pretty good, I like the arpeggiated strings in the beginning, and my favorite character in Halo is the Arbiter. So, hehe 4/5 8/10

I agree :3
They were mostly fillers - as I didn't have much time to compose something else that could have the effect.

Thanks for the review and the vote :)
