So this is another piece that I've managed to churn out within 3 days. The week's been pretty hectic with another mobile game project that I've been working on so it's nice to kick back and finally do something I've been wanting to do. This is an emotional piece written with the idea of homecoming...except the one coming home is the king. We'll save that part for the description of the song right below. For the time being, enjoy the song!
Description:
After returning from a long struggle against many enemies, the king finally returns to his throne to rule his kingdom. The scene appears stormy first but the clouds quickly clear away as the king walks up to the throne. Remembering his subjects, friends and family who got him to where he was today, he smiles and nods in appreciation at them as he begins his ascension. Upon reaching the throne, the ascension begins and a new tomorrow filled with hope begins.
Analysis:
To be honest the imagery I had while making this song was that of Simba coming back to the Rock (Lion King) after facing off Scar. However I could only attempt a Western rendition of the scenario since I currently lack the instruments from the African side of the globe. Oh well we all make do with what we have. Another point I'd like to make is that I didn't really think this one through...it just came out by itself. :/ Some principles that were used were the answer-call method between the strings and horns, exploration of the use of the piano being an accompaniment and a voice and a general dash of majestic feel thanks to a combination of both brass and strings. Nothing new was really done in this piece if compared to Dragon Hunting but it does carry a much more hopeful melody. I'll try to see if I've got more pointers for this song as time goes by...but for the time being I'm labelling this as Ad Hoc.
