Very nice track Lila! I'm sure it works really good on the scene.
World War II is hardly synonymous with anything other than bleak, oppressive and dark times and this piece encapsulates the mood perfectly.
Good stuff.
I'm with Alex on this one, Elizabeth. Outstanding.
This is such a beautiful track... really incredible climax, wonderful playing. Absolutely love it.
Intelligently scored and with great sensitivity and depth. I enjoyed this immensely. Although the effect is bleak it is also strangely uplifting. Very powerful music.
I love this track - rooted in the dark world of the 2nd Viennese School - beautiful scored and played. We don't hear nearly enough music of this quality on television these days. Very well done - more...
A very pensive piece that focuses my thoughts on the past. I'm sort of hung up on nostalgia these days and this music could easily send me off to another place. I can hear how it would enhance and expound...
Thank you both very much for your positive feedback.
I can see this working well for the scene - lovely soaring strings with simple harmonies and a wistful quality. Very effective. I think the piano could go a little higher without intruding on the strings.
Lovely string scoring. Just the right level of emotion without being over sentimental. I can see it working in a multitude of scenarios. It would really be lifted with a live cello melody in the opening...
