Undescribable
I can't say anything about this other than say it's touching. I can't really give an image like Beo-Wulf did either >.<.
Very easily a 10/10 from me. I have been wondering how to make music like this for awhile, and I wonder what program you use and how you use it. If you could teach me the stuff, that'd be great. :D

Woh, late response alert! *train whistle*
I'd be happy to teach you anything you'd want to learn. Some things I can't teach you, like melody, and composition, because these are things that come from your heart and mind. Even if I could, I wouldn't, because then you would become only a rendition of me, and that is not what you or I would want.
Best of luck to your endeavors! I'll be here to help if you ever need it concerning music! Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!
Epic, True JUST GREAT
I love songs like this!
I can can see my self on a great field of snow seeing my bloodbrother falling in battle! and this is the point where the fire inside me begins to rage! and in the end of the song the tale stops and just a picture of an storming heroic warrior and his sworn enemy clashing their swords remains!
i am a great heavy mostly viking metal fan and epic intros like that are allways a plus!
MIGHTY HAILS from germany to you! go on with such masterpieces! and maybe i will here youre soundtrack in such epic motion pictures like LotR, braveheart...
pheeww just awesome hehe^^
I love the image you painted Beo-Wulf. A simple setting, with such few words I was able to live an entire war! I often listen to heavy metal myself, recently i've started listening to some Swedish Death Metal. I still can't understand a word yet, but I refuse to give up until I can fully understand at least one song XD!
Maybe I will, maybe I won't. But whatever happens, i'm not going to stop, and anything I make purely from myself will always be free to the public anyways.
Thank you for the review Beo-Wulf! I'm glad you liked it ^^.
It feels like someone has just died...
It makes me feel somewhat lonely... It's diversity, it's clarity... it makes me wanna cry... I dunno... music makes you feel all sorts of emotions... this makes me feel lonely... the bells sort of signify that someone has reached his end... it is the road's end for him... it's a very well-made song... like all of your others...
I can't believe I forgot this review! My apologies Amador10. I did not mean to miss the review!
I'm glad you feel that way! It is indeed a piece mixed up with several different emotions. Anger, frustration, sadness, hopelessness, regret. A large spectrum.
It was also in fact supposed to be the funeral song for that tribe. So you are absolutely dead on with the bells.
Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked the piece!
Cool!
Great song! And here comes a story!
Okay, so this search party searches the snow for a missing group of soldiers, and they overlook a cliff to reveal *gasp* a large primitive settlement that stretches out beyond the horizon. They go down and hear bells ring, but when they move in, they find the settlement to be abandoned.
They see a strange thing in the settlement though, a large building rises out of the settlement. The bell is tolling from the large cathedral-like building. The search party goes inside to continue their search and the doors close behind them.
lol. I wrote it as the music was playing, so it's rough. Great music though, and very visual. :)
they go into the cathedral eh? In an abandoned village with complete disregard to wondering WHY the village is empty and this one building is till working?!
O_O
poor bastards. I'm sure once they're in there they'll want out, only to be refused exit. Thats how it always is :'(
In any case, thank you for the story scoutzero, I enjoyed reading it, and again for the review, i'm glad you liked it ^^
Exceptional...
Another song that you put quite a bit of effort into. So know what I'm going to do? I'm going to... treat you with the ending of the story with the sailors on the sea. (My reviews for Arise Sleeper and Wrath of a Vengeful Soul, remember? :P) This song seems perfect for it. But it's after the technicalities, as always...
It's interesting how, in the beginning, you cut off the strings in... the eighth measure? Something like that. It was in an odd way... or was it the reeverb that I'm hearing as that little extra sound? Aah, well. It was extra creative, I wish I had seen more of it later in the song.
Is that a flute I'm hearing? Don't hear that often from you... and now a music box! :D What would have been extra nice is if I had heard more than one note at a time from that music box... gah! It's getting drowned out by the strings, brass, and choir. :\ Maybe keeping it in seperate ranges from everything else (or playing it during quieter parts only) would help?
What are those extra low notes played on the 1st and 3rd beat towards the end of the song? Or, I should be asking, what's playing them? Another creative touch, anyway, and seeing as that I can remember hearing similar in other more professional orchestrations in movies or just alone as pieces, a professional touch as well. :D Not much else to add now... I suppose it's storytime. :D
Back on land, the family and friends of the sailors waited patiently for their return. Rumor began to spread and while some accepted it and broke down, others refused to believe it and continued to wait. Eventually only the strongest-willed remained.
Funerals were held for the sailors whose families had given up. They were shunned by the others, scorned as faithless and weak. But in fact, these "faithless" and "weak" families had it better in the long run. Being able to put it behind themselves, they looked towards the future and the issues at hand. The admittedly more stubborn group wasted away, trapped in the past.
Heh, my first story in a while. :D I almost came close to leaving you on another cliffhanger just for your reaction, but I couldn't think of anything realistic enough. XD Aah, well. I enjoyed the song, Maestro, great work! :D
How could I forget the sailors :D!?
The ending, yay :D!
The music box was actually a very high played Celesta. It does sound like a music box, and I assure you, that it cannot be played higher, playing it lower, gauarantees being lost in the mess that is the song.
Same story for it playing more then one note at a time. It just got muddy, and so to keep it crispy clear, and effective. A single solemn note was necessary --_--!
As for the ending. You know I had never actually confirmed that they had died. I had always thought "Maybe now they will be saved!", but I suppose with this ending, I will have to bid the images of those sailors I had seen a long time ago farewell.
I suppose I am one of the weak ones then ;')
Thank you for the review Karco, like always, they were greatly appreciated. Sorry for the delayed response, I had thought I had already responded to it!
I'm glad you liked the piece ^^
