The choir and harp are very thoughtful! The atmosphere you convey is striking.

this is really touching! I think you’ve nailed the fantasy death of a hero here. I don’t actually think the horn was too loud, I think it just signifies something new. All context really, could be argued either way.
What I like most about this piece is that I can feel the sorrow coming from the music, and to me that represents strong attention to detail and a great respect for this fallen character. Absolutely spot on for the theme of this jam!
A couple people have mentioned the volume of the horns in the middle section already, so I won't worry too much about that. The thing I will mention though is that I would've liked to have heard a little more call and response from the woodwinds in the last section. I say this because there's some very lovely melodic ideas there! It feels as if each musician is getting their opportunity to pay respects to the fallen character and I think it would've been cool to hear them fleshed out more and have the chance to shine on their own. IMO.
Thanks a ton for sharing this, and keep up the great work :)
Nice dynamics, beautiful harmonies, instrumentation was spot on. IMO the horn at 1:15 was a little loud compared to the rest of the mix.
Very lovely! The quality and your use of instruments is great. I appreciate the bass, being clearly audible throughout the track, which makes it feel very tense and dramatic despite the long notes. My favourite part is when the horns play the melody - sounds tragic yet give a feeling of pride, I would say. Overall astonishing work! Keep it up. :)
