Film Scoring Practice -Ep.3- Band of Brothers Trailer

This is a trailer for the wonderful HBO mini-series Band of Brothers. I have no idea who scored this originally, but I do know Michael Kamen wrote a wonderful score for the actual series and the opening theme is really great.

My composition here is set full orchestra and choir.

Not to fond of the software instruments, but it sure is a nice composition. Loved the way it builds in the end as well as the key range climbs a bit.

@CallingHeartRecords you mention sample quality a couple of times in other comments, and i'm wondering what in particular, if you can remember, you didn't like about them. i have wondered if maybe my string sections were a little too forward in the mix, and maybe that would help your perception? the libraries i used are definitely not inexpensive, so i'm just curious.

0:45 what are you doing? If God would exist, he could stop the Hell you are getting in!

No God, no Hope, only Pain, Death...

Well the soatware instruments sound pretty good to me , short of hiring an orchestra I am not sure how you could get a better sound than this.

Great music, very well done, superb.

[CallingHeartRecords]

French horns wonderful.

Vices sound great.

Strings:

No bow change sound.

Strings technique sounds like they were played on a keyboard.

Slow string attacks sound unnatural.

No string rosin sound.

*Lack of fidelity in the strings.

Yes, you're right, lowering them would better meld the different tracks together, but we should not have to do that.

Check this out. I myself would be hard pressed to beat this string sound, but it can be done. Just take note at 3:39 youtube.com/watch?v=l45SsHvQmh­4
