As the title says it, this piece that I wrote speaks about a bitter-sweet feeling of hardship, joy and at the finale... victory. This is my final project for CW-411 (Writing for Orchestra), a class I took at Berklee College of Music. I composed and arranged it for a 21-piece orchestra. I envision it as a theme song in a film or a game. I hope you enjoy it. :)

Tears of Victory

This is a project I did for a class in Berklee, CW-422 (Advanced Production for Writers) It's an original composition for a string orchestra, entitled "That Bittersweet Conversation". I do hope the music gives the imagery of a bittersweet conversation. 

We recorded live strings and did a hybrid production together with midi strings. 

To whoever is listening, hope you enjoy the music and be blessed!

I re-arranged this well-known song, "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia. I envisioned it to be dark and sad, recorded in a secluded church. Hope you like it.
