I wrote this piece to enter in the 'Dreams of Splendour' competition here on Newgrounds (http://www.newgrounds.co m/bbs/topic/1328912). The music represents the emotions and thoughts of a hero about to address the world with a legendary speech.

A real nice "orchestral" composition. Beautiful melody and excellent emotions with environment. Keep your spirit up. 5/5 + a fan :)

I love the balance in levels. The whole piece feels very suspenseful and dramatic. Very cool.

I really love that wonderful change at about one minute in. A brilliant balance here, beginning with the soft somber piano melody that suddenly transitions into this grand Narnia shopping mall and ending with what seems to be a peaceful breath of string and glock but really goes out with a bang. It's definitely all representative of the different parts of a motivational speech. The depressing intro that tells the world what bad things have happened, then the powerful uplifting meat of it all, and finally what seems to be a subtle conclusion that ends with a powerful "we must fight!". A perfect orchestration and your melodies really caught me. Excellent job!

"Grand Narnia shopping mall", what a description & compliment! Thanks. You interpreted it exactly as intended, I really appreciate the positive feedback for this!
