I sense subconscious story to be told through this composition.
This piece has an effective structure. The ambiance the strings provide in the introduction produces an immersive quality, a light atmosphere that the harp compliments well. The rising anticipation after that smoothly transitions to a quite arousing section. The progressive pacing builds upon the mood of the introduction and creates a powerful impression of what the sight of battle would be like. Those sustained deep brasses and percussion, with the melodious lead, really brought that aspect to fruition, being at once characteristic and a indicator of tone.
Though, there is something about the overall sound quality that seems to be outstanding. It sounds harmonious and well-mixed, but I think much of the accompanying instruments can be a little more brighter (more treble?). Post-introduction, the instruments tended to sound as if they were limited in expression --- holding back a lion from barging out from its cage --- when compared to sounds in the introduction. But for what it is, the mixing/mastery of the piece is suitable and boasts skill.
This is an overall splendid piece. It evolved into something pleasant. Nice work.
