Weep, Weep Mine Eyes - Live

Red River Station is a bright and upbeat work for Wind Ensemble emulating the Americana style of Aaron Copland and old country Western movies.  Synthesizing elements from Copland’s ballet Rodeo (particularly Buckaroo Holiday and Hoedown) and multiple movie soundtracks, this challenging work uses syncopation and melodic dovetailing through the ensemble to bring out different timbres and capture the focus of the listener as the melody gets transferred between different instruments.  
 
To get that Wild West sound, Red River Station uses the pentatonic scale for a lot of the melodic content and bVII. The vibrant orchestration and exciting nature of this work make it an excellent fit for any concert.
​
Red River Station has been accepted for publication by C.L. Barnhouse for their 2017 catalog.

Track: Dark Ages (Total War Battles: KINGDOM)
Multi-million-selling Total War is one of the most critically-acclaimed series in gaming, now in its 15th year. A drive for historical authenticity and superb gaming quality has helped establish the franchise as one of the most successful games of all time. The Total War franchise has won numerous awards, including two BAFTA Awards from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, and an Ivor Novello Award. The video game franchise was also the basis of two television shows: Decisive Battles on the History Channel, and Time Commanders on the BBC. Alongside the core historical-based games, the Total War series has expanded to include the free-to-play mobile title, Total War Battles: KINGDOM.
“Dark Ages (Total War Battles: KINGDOM)” is composed by award-winning game composer Winifred Phillips and performed by a live ensemble of accomplished musicians performing with historically authentic medieval instruments and techniques. The ensemble includes one of Europe’s leading lute players, and members of this ensemble have graced the concert stages of such venues as the Royal Opera House, The Royal Festival Hall, and Kensington Palace, among many others. The composer’s repertoire has repeatedly focused on many culturally rich historical projects, including her intricate baroque compositions for Assassin’s Creed Liberation and the ancient Mediterranean music she created for God of War. For “Dark Ages (Total War Battles: KINGDOM),” Phillips combined evocative and lush aural designs with a consort of period instruments and authentic medieval modes. These techniques came together to transport listeners into the mysterious world of the Dark Ages. For her previous work as a game composer, Phillips has won three Hollywood Music in Media Awards, five Game Audio Network Guild Awards, three Global Music Awards and an Interactive Achievement Award, among others.

More About Total War Battles: KINGDOM:
Creative Assembly’s Total War Battles: KINGDOM is set during the chaotic turn of the 10th Century, as the world starts to emerge from the Dark Ages. Players will find themselves managing the needs of their own fiefdom and guarding against the machinations of neighboring kingdoms. Deception, spying and outright betrayal against enemies and friends alike will see the devious player rewarded. “We wanted to create a new way of playing Total War Battles. Whether that’s on the move or at work over lunch,” said Renaud Charpentier, Creative Assembly Digital Project Lead. “It shouldn’t matter where you want to play; we want to make it easy to come back again and again to your flourishing Kingdom. Then, we ramp up the complexity and challenge, adding more options to your Machiavellian schemes.”
Founded in 1987, Creative Assembly is one of the UK’s most successful and established game studios. Creator of the multi award-winning Total War strategy series, the studio has received numerous press, industry and consumer accolades, including BAFTAs and the Develop Industry Excellence awards.
