I hope you like this piece. :)

Ed

Freedom

Hi All - this is my submission to the Piano Cloud's International Challenge, which was set up to express a musical a style which is native to your home country or in the style of a famous artist from your homeland.

I took most of my influences from Holst and Vaughan-Williams.  I think the idea for the melody came from growing up singing hymns at school.  As you will hear the track starts off with some gentle piano and introduces further instruments as it progresses.  I apologise in advance for the final section - it wasn't my original intention to create such a bombastic finale! :)

The same "Surrey Hills" was inspired by the fact that it's the birthplace of Ralph Vaughan Williams and it's also very close to where I live, so I visit there quite often.

I hope you enjoy this track - please let me know what you think. This was quite an ambitious project for me because I built the orchestra from the ground up and used many individual layered tracks to create the overall effect.
