A Way Of Life - Hans Zimmer

Nightcall

A non mastered version of "A Small Measure of Peace" by Hans Zimmer From the Last Samurai
                                                          
Composed by ear and arranged in FL Studio (yeah I know) by myself ... so be gentle =P

I only hope I can even come close to doing this amazing song justice at all ...

Small amount of issues with the sound on the cellos, otherwise I'd think it's pretty close at least.

Sounds created using NI Massive, Sytrus and EastWest Symphony (free version)

A Small Measure of Peace

I'm a massive Lord of the Rings fan (an obsession passed on by my father) and I've always really loved this song from Return of the King. The juxtaposition of Fahramir's charge towards Osgiliath, Denethor's callousness and everything Pippin puts into this song is always incredibly moving. Billy Boyd does an amazing job on the original and I hope I've managed to convey something of the emotion he gives it.

Not a lot else to say about this one. I recorded it basically on a whim after the song was stuck in my head all of one morning. This is the last of the things I had recorded, so I don't know when my next cover will be up. It may not be for at least a few weeks, because I'm frantically trying to get ahead in my uni work before I go on tour with the Gondwana Chorale and after that I'll be frantically trying to catch up!

Song: Pippin's Song (part of the track "The Steward of Gondor" on the "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" soundtrack)
Artist: Howard Shore, originally sung by Billy Boyd
Backing track: That bloody car that drives past right in the middle of the last "all shall fade"! Should have re-done it, but I didn't notice until I'd already packed everything up and this was the best take. -__-
