This is the final product of my Orchestration II class. Entitled "Achille's Heel" it is a completely orchestrated full length piece that represents the hero's pride and eventual demise. Starting with a simple melody on the woodwinds with harp accompaniment the piece progresses to incorporate the full palette of orchestral colors. A last minute addition, the heavily effected guitar part in the middle section is encompassed by the horns and adds an ethereal, dream-like feel to this section.
