I play the "Inside "Magna Carta Holy Grail" with JAY Z + Samsung" Theme!

Let's identify and examine the compositional techniques in the "Inside "Magna Carta Holy Grail" with JAY Z + Samsung" Theme! Please refer to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B--ZARCwSIE and sheet music! http://www.videogamepianist.com/sheetmusic/magnacartaholygrail_jayz.pdf

In the video, Jay-Z describes the music as being lush and full of live instrumentation. The lush chords do add a dark and rich texture to the pieces. For example, there is a B-flat major seventh chord followed by a g minor ninth chord. The piano, guitar, and bass voices beautifully balance to create the rich sonority Jay-Z is talking about.
The d dorian mode contributes to a cool and laidback feeling.

The various excerpts are from the album that will be released on July 4. The person who created the video created a patchwork of the different tracks. The contrasting C major track at the end is chill and non-aggressive. The tracks have a strong beat.
