The Armies of Alden - OST

[New Original Release]

First, I apologize to everyone for not being more active, things are a little hectic in terms of my work, plus other things. BUT HERE WE ARE AT LAST!

The Armies of Alden - Original Sound Track, is the official musical score to an ongoing series of warring factions, created by the author and artist JodiMest. What I've created, or intended to create, is the final scenes of the two armies, before they charge at one another and fight.

I started off using the low end percussion (like the concert bass drum) to create the atmosphere, then I used a powerful solo trumpet to play the simple melody (which I know, is kinda reminiscent of Space Odyssey... well at least the first two notes ). The rest of the orchestra then comes in to back it up, including a 40 piece strong string section. It then dies back down to let the English Horn take a short solo, if you listen carefully, the time signature changes for a brief moment as well Next, are my two favorite parts, the atonal build of the choir, which then leads into a huge rhythmically backed up "TO WAR... RAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Scene, when both armies charge at one another. The rhythm section is composed of steel plates, snare drums and timpani, plus other assorted metal things I could get my hands on. The French horn section, as well as a trumpet section, then leads the melody through that. Finally, it all dies down, several more instruments getting a chance to solo, until it finally fades until just the trumpet and bass drum play... just like it started.

I hope you enjoy listening. Votes/comments/faves are as always, welcome and appreciated.

TO WAR!!!
