Excellent track that sounds like it could be from an actual soundtrack. I love the inclusion of the vocal elements here, they make the track sound heroic and give the latter half of the track some great buildup. I also like how it quiets down at the end and kind of revisits the intro.
The melody itself get's a bit lost in the overall mass of the song. At first, I thought that the melody was just a top line of the harmony if that makes sense, since it's mostly long notes that change with the chord. But when the piano and the choir come in it's revealed more clearly.
Melody Clarity 4/5
The melody is perfectly clear, but at the same time never takes the center stage to stand out from the overall mass. I actually don't even think it sounds bad at all like this, but if I have to rate this category strictly on "clarity" this is a fact that made it less clear.
Melody Impact 3/5
I think the track as a whole is very impactful, but as I already said the melody doesn't carry impact really. It's not the most memorable since there isn't much movement, contrast and stuff to really grab on to, and it stays pretty similar throughout the long track. Is it a bad melody? Absolutely not! But if you took just the melody and played it on a piano without the orchestration, the melody alone wouldn't sound that impactful.
Composition 5/5
The track is very well made start to finish. Good development, contrast from part to part, new elements are introduced and the taken away and I feel like the intesity really peaks at the 75% mark. You also clearly know your stuff with orchestral instruments and arrangement!
Listenability 5/5
This wouldn't be out of place as music for a released game or a show.
Correlation to Theme 5/5
Out of all the tracks I've listened to so far, this is the one that sounds like a legendary theme the most. It's grand and has this classic fantasy feel with the orchestra and the choir. For every submission, I've asked myself "if I heard this out of context would this feel like atheme for a legendary weapon?" and this track clears that test easily.
Overall this is a fantastic track, maybe less focused on the melody but that only matters for this jam. By the way, the Bandcamp stream only let me listen to this three times for free, that is maybe not ideal for the duration of the jam? I know you have a download available but it's a bit of a hassle after I already listened to it a couple times on stream. Not reflected on my rating of course, just saying it might be better to only monetize it after the rating period! EDIT: just saw you have a youtube link as well. Anyway, it's bit confusing with different links in different places!
