The dynamic range of this piece is wide - not all parts are meant to be loud, so listen at a comfortable volume! This is preferable to me, instead of compressing the levels to unrealistic dynamic consistency, which can defeat the purpose of orchestral dynamics.
Other than that, I like to let the music speak for itself, so sit back and enjoy.
Best of luck to everyone in the contest!

Beautiful, a true work of art. DO you know the movie Atlantis? This reminds me of it in how it seems so mystical

I was literally swept away by the first minute of this song. Uh, pun not intended. I'm glad you won first place, you definitely deserved it. It slowly builds up to this beautiful piano piece which in turn transitioned to something otherworldly. Good job, and congratulations :0

I haven't been on newgrounds in a while, but it's nice to see that that Classical section of the AP is still in the good hands of a few fantastic composers.
Keep it up, I really respect your work.
Oh man! It's Winterwind! Back from the dead!
Seriously it's good to hear from you. I'm sure you've been up to some pretty cool stuff. I was reminiscing about your old music lately, actually...
Two things I must say though - I also rarely use the AP anymore myself, and in fact 90% of my latest work is not here (and there's been a good deal of it). I've only really uploaded recently thanks to the contest that this was entered in. Secondly - follow the link in the description of this track! The full version of this track is what I really meant for it to be, and definitely better than this cut! Feel free to leave another review on that one. ;)
Hope to hear some killer new tunes from you sometime. Now I want to make some solo piano work again, I'm reminded of all the piano stuff we both did years ago...

You have captured the feel of an epic fantasy, or that of a courageous adventure. All I can imagine is the hero saving the kingdom/city/world from which they are from. Truly this is a masterpiece.
