About this score

More instrumentally accurate than the first, plus some minor additions.

This truly special piece of music means very much to me. I dedicated it to my band teacher, Mark Rymer after he passed away at a very young age of 34. The beginning of the piece, the first statement, was created one day before his death as I was inspired to write like Hans Zimmer, then suddenly, the unfortunate event happened. I worked day and night to create the piece for band.

It's a haunting ritualistic dramatic composition with a profound solemness.

I just favorited this :)

Myself, I'm working on a woodwind/string piece of similair size. I idolize Hans Zimmer's ability to make a piece simultaneously beautiful and haunting. It seems you're doing a great job of that yourself.

Keep up your beautiful use of the clarinet.

I'm happy you share the same ideas as me about Hans Zimmer, it was truly a challenge for me because I don't think I ever had taken such a step at an early age. But anyways, thank you.

It sounds really awesome :DDD. It builds well, and the reoccurring melody isn't too redundant for me.
