=====(The Details/Performer's Notes)=====
This track was a challenge to arrange. It's very atmospheric with the use of choirs/strings and other
sustained instruments to create a unique mysterious/monolithic sound. That type of texture is hard to translate to piano without losing a lot of the impact. So extensive experimentation was needed until I found a sound/direction that I liked.
The track itself, is structured around a choral-like opening (quoting the Halo 3 theme) which also triumphantly ends the piece, and the more energetic middle section based off of the OG Halo theme.
Technical challenges in this would be the ostinato-like left hand passagework and a few rapid arpeggios and dense runs in the right hand. So players be warned.
Your Pianist,
Erik C.
P.S. This is the first video of the year so expect a few more vids this month (I hear there's an anniversary coming up) and more to follow. Here's to a good 2021!
