I have simpli no grip on any negative side of the track - since I can't find any.
The song is fantastic, superb... there's no question about it. My only question is: how are you capable to create such great, intense and complex music whitin this short time? You have a ground-braking classical track almost every week! Even if you're working in a team it's a huge job to manage it...
Anyhow congratulations for you: you produce music that is wonderfull! Keep up your great work!

"All of your submissions so far wonderfull!"
Well you wrote many times in your responses that you play in this orchestra - well tell to everyone in it and to all choir-singers that they are god damn talented and they can create a fantastic soundscape. (Of course this goes for you too.)
But tell me: these are pieces that are already composed, or there are someone from the class who composes these songs? If yes tell him that I take off my hat for him/her.
Keep submitting these songs. I love them! These songs give the best of NG's classical songs.

Thank you for the very nice compliments to the orchestra and especially the choir! Oh, and to me as well. :) And to answer your question, only some of the songs I post are original. My director sometimes composes songs of her own along with some of the first chair players (the songs they compose are amazing by the way) but the majority of the songs that we play are directly from sheet music composed by various artists. I guess the reason we do that is because it usually takes an awfully long time to come up with an original piece that's actually good. I would put up the names of the other composers though to give them credit but I often can't remember and I usually end up just making up a completely unoriginal name... :( But if this bothers you, or anyone else for that matter, please contact me and I'll try to find the names of the composers as soon as I can. Thanks again for the nice review!

"After the first notes I knew..."
...that I have to write a review!
This is a wonderfull classical piece. The choir was brilliant and the soft start was really uplifting.
The whole song had an epic/adventurish sound. The instruments sounded so real... I can't find any negative things. This song is perfect.
Definitely a 5/5, 10/10 and a fav.
Congratulation to your work! Keep up this wonderfull qualiry!

Thank you for the nice review! But I'm obligated to say that it's not all my work. It's my college's entire orchestra. I'm just one of the first chair violin players that posts up my orchestra's songs at my directors' permission. And the fact that the instruments sound so real is probably because... they are? :) Well thanks again for the positive review!

"Really unique and charecteristic sound"
Hy there!
I must say to you: I could tell you from 100 of songs which one is yours - your style and compositions are so unique like rarely others.
The stings are like almost falling apart (like they are not playing the same note constantly just one-one note) but still the whole tings takes shape in one big piece. And the melodies are also great
I think you are a greate character-musician I mean you have great talent to compose music for characters.
I loved this one too - especially the beginning with that electronic gitar (?). Great job as always!
5/5, 10/10 faved

Wow! I've listened to "Sacrifice" as well and I can tell you for sure: you should make more classical tracks. You have great skils for it. This song shows it again.
I loved the quality of your instruments - really clear and sounded realistic (for the classical instruments). And the mood you've created are really like the death of a hero. This mood is really like a sacrifice like one.
Again - wonderfull job.

... I mean: I imagined the images - soldiers give up all of their humanity in order to survive and to be alive...
With this music it was a thrilling experience and I had a shiver. Even though you havent used the flute you used to in the other tracks. I think the flute would fit here wonderfully.
But without it this song was great. The percussion sets were greatz again - you are really good seting up your percs.
So I loved this song too:

Hy there!
My first impressions about the song (as I mentioned in the short summary: emotional and really beutyfull. It had a slight oriental feel with the percussive set. The strings toward the end was also great and I loved the melody it has. Especially when everything went on with each other - it was one of an uplifting part.
Whether the soing is Oscar-worhty or not I wouldn't decide it. And also I havent find the "There Will Be Blood" moment... maybe at 1:20 with the dizzy strings?
Some mentionable expressions:
The bulid up part was a bit long for my taste. It was lacking from melody I think. Some flutes playing the main theme's short parts would give more excitement and would keep myself on the edge of my seat what will next come?
And for me the atmosphere of the song wasn't like a sacrifice. The song had a rather happy mood like a resolution of a conflict and everything is O.K. now. But this is also a personal comment.
Otherwise I could feel that you've worked a lot on this song - the flutes the female vocice (it was brilliantly made) and the percussive set... all sounded really nice and realistic.
All in all: great job 9/10, 5/5 and faved.
Keep up the great work!

Hy!
I must say this song is really impressive. Altough I couldn't hear out the story-elements you pictured in the comment, the song was build up wonderfully. The instruments were sounding outstanding - almost like a real orchestra. Especially the woodwinds were brilliant.
I was missing the "chase" scene - there were not much dinamic parts in there (or at least they weren't recogniseable for me) but the "dancelike" part was great.
With some more dinamic melodies, some percussion or even with staccato woodwinds it could have been even better but in this for is great to (= faved and fived:))
Great job mate, keep up the great work!

Thank you! In a sense it was a real orchestra, just a small one, there were 17 or 18 performers.

Hy!
I liked this track very much - it had it's developement, and a constant structure. You could feel that this is one big song. And I loved the slower parts.
This is a calming and relaxing piece - it's almost like a painting for me only with sounds. Wonderfull... like a classical piece.
Congrats!

Hy!
Great sounds and quality. I loved it - especially at 1:30 with the key change... great job.
Liked the percussions and the end too and the choir was fitting too. The beginning was like "The Rock" - really military like and epic.
Freat job! I loved it.
