So this is probably my favorite song I've made for a while. It was a commision for my friend. Here's what he wanted: "Make a song for me that’s uplifting but slow. Like it rises up and then at the end is like super slow and mellow. Slightly long build up then a lot of cool sounding notes clashing together then another build up and then it slows down immediately to a slow sad violin or something like that. 2 min." Well I got most of that down... (except the 2 minute part)

Constructive criticism and tips are appreciated.

I'm trying to make a quiet part that goes from a violin solo to a nice triumphant ending (because yeah, the evil guy is dead) that sounds like or is inspired by the Finale from Firebird by Stravinsky.

It's a band + orchestra composition, BECAUSE my friend wanted a band one, so I did that, and I liked what I did so much that I decided to make it an orchestral one, now it's a sort of custom/random one since we have Saxophones in it, but they sound really good in some parts.

The song is kind of repetitive and I'm working on fixing that for myself.

Here are the 3 pictures that I designed the movements after:
