Gallop of the Headless Horseman

My entry for the 2017 Halloween Spooktacular competition, an absurdly orchestrated, comical but bold piece with moments of romantic sophistication. No halloween tune would be complete without an organ or theramin which I have to say have been the most entertaining additions I've made to an orchestra (couldn't find an excuse to use a xylophone though, perhaps next year...); enjoy and happy Halloween!

Made with East West Studios Symphony Orchestra Gold, Symphobia, Orchestral Essentials (percussion), Kontakt Factory Library (organ), Action Strikes, CineBrass Core, CineWinds Core and FL Studio

Wacky, fun, and spooky. Theremin could use a bit more vibrato, and so could your percussion. It feels like the rest of the instruments are overplaying it at some points. Nice work!

Quite cartoonish indeed, would not be out of place in a short Halloween animation or in a movie, great work.

Excellent song! The mixing in the beginning portion could use some work, and the theremin seemed somewhat overused, but the melody is catchy and I particularly liked the orchestrated portions. Good luck in the competition!
