Part One
ORCHESTRAL SCORE REEL

Abstract Study No. 1


Beginning with a disquieting suspense and breaking into a terrifying action cue, Abstract Study No. 1 delivers full-orchestral adrenaline.



Mobilization


Military rhythms and a full brass section set the tone for Mobilization, a grand work of action score created to illustrate an even mix of danger and heroism.



Romance For Piano & Strings


The melodically layered Romance for Piano & Strings evokes feelings of love and longing in a gracefully measured waltz-time.



Race Against Time


The clock counts down to serious consequences in this homage to Hitchcock's greatest composer, Bernard Herman.


The October Waltz


A dark, romantic, yet childlike theme makes The October Waltz a perfect Halloween treat.



Cut to the Chase


Inspired by a popular roller coaster, Cut to the Chase is pure action score, featuring a 13-piece brass section playing at full volume. Please keep your hands, arms and legs inside the ride until it comes to a full and complete stop



Day of Reckoning


The hour of Judgement has arrived with all of it's gravitas, anticipation and consequence in the heavy, orchestral Day of Reckoning.


The Pirate Jig


This brief theme paints a picture of sailing ships, cannons and cutlasses. The Pirate Jig is based on old English melodies and cinematic orchestration techniques. Hoist up the Jolly Roger!



The Hero's Journey


The brass section works overtime to present this cue of youthful heroism.



Ordeal by Fire Part 1


Part 1 of Ordeal by Fire begins slowly with woodwinds tentatively expressing curiosity mixed with wonder. Swirling strings rise atmospherically before the french horns bring in a melancholic melody of something ancient and long-lost.



Ordeal by Fire Part 3


French horns heroically state the ancient melody beneath a held tremelo in the upper strings, in expectation of the action to come.



Ordeal by Fire Part 5


Part 5 of Ordeal by Fire breaks into a juggernaut of orchestral chase music that builds to it's climactic resolution.



Sulfur et Mercurius I


Creepy, suspensful serialism to make the audience squirm.



The Premonition Part 2


Nervously frightened violas speak of a growing dread.



The Premonition Part 3


A lilting, dreamlike duet between the harp and vibraphone begins this little journey into insanity.



Ghita Theme


The string section plays the slow, solemn Arabian melody that speaks of desert dunes and a sea of sands.
