Leaving For War (Part 1 of the "Leaving For War" trilogy)

This is a piece I've been working on for songwriter/composer Hal Dickens. Hal wrote this as a fantasy love song from Esmeralda to Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame. He will be recording this as a song later this year but in the meantime, here is my orchestral arrangement of Hal's original piano composition.

I should have some of my own original material coming soon :)

You're Not Made Of Stone

Continuing the work I've been doing with composer/songwriter Hal Dickens, here is my orchestral arrangement of Hal's piano piece "Returning From War". You can listen to Hal's original by following this link : https://youtu.be/AleZG-iwSyk This is the sequel to "Leaving For War". I hope you enjoy it.

Returning From War (Part 3 of the "Leaving For War" trilogy)

Continuing the work I've been doing with composer/songwriter Hal Dickens, here is my orchestral arrangement of Hal's piano piece "Astral Lover IV", which has been renamed "Angels In My Bedroom" for reasons Hal himself will reveal at some point in the future. This was my biggest challenge to date, due to the nature of Hal's original piece, which contains so many different transistions, and changes of tempo etc, that it had me tearing my hair out in frustration at times. But it was worth it as it contains some of Hal's most beautiful melodies to date, and I think I just about got it near enough right in the end. I hope you enjoy it.

I used EAREVEB 2 for the stage positioning extensively throughout this track.

Angels In My Bedroom

Continuing the work I've been doing with my friend Hal Dickens, here is my orchestral arrangement of Hal's piano piece "Her Healing Hands". Hal's original music describes a scene from the survival horror novel "Survive The Night With Me" by Hailey Valentino, but I decided to take a different approach with my arrangement. You can hear Hal's original piano piece, from which this is based, here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl9wgEsZ2mM
