I thought I had commented on this one before...maybe just got caught up in the track and forgot to click the comment button...easy to do with such a huge sound track going on. Love the opening chant and the different turns this one takes as it progresses! The string parts are just dripping with class and the percussion is just killer! One word...Amazing!

Majestic and pure! Taking music to a whole 'nother level for sure Al! Didn't know you "dabbled" in soundtracks/scoring? This is definitely a movie piece! totally enjoyable!

From the beginning on I feel the drama taking place here. Tensions everywhere, like something big could start every moment (world war?). At 1:59 it's getting more quiet, making me think it might be not as bad as I thought it would be. At 2:24 another part is starting. Drums and brass instruments, rhythmic and lighter. Nice melodic theme. In thoughts I see a lot of people starting to dance. War is over? The last part (4:08) is surprising me the most somehow, because I've got no idea what's happening here. Tension is back, but not as strong as in the first parts. Bringing a real ending to this masterful piece. Wow Al, this is something completely different, like you used another part of your musical brains while making this. I can imagine it for a movie or a computer game. Really good, surprising and full of energy! The number 1 is really deserved!

Wow...for a minute I thought I was at an IMAX with surround sound! You never cease to amaze me Al. This is epic. Cinematic, suspenseful, ever evolving and powerful. Production extraordinare. A wonderful sonic adventure that stirs the imagination. Your creativity knows no boundaries. Bravo!!
Dramatic work that commands ones full attention right from the start. Many fantastic themes that frankly deserve a long-form piece to explore them more fully. A well deserved chart-topper from the master of whatever style he choses.

This is quite different from what I'm used to hearing from you, but if you're like me, you need to go "outside your comfort zone" every now and then and see what happens. Very cool!

Exeptional drumwork and latin-phrazed vocals in a highly dramatic and epic drama.High class string and brasswork too. I lean more to film-music than gametrack. Unusual and very cool work with strong visuals!

Wow...you are full of surprises Al...another reason why I love visiting your page! This is classical, cinematic, rhythmic and totally fascinating. This has a epic movie vibe to it, and I can also understand why the others feel it would be great for a computer game - highly dramatic and exciting! Huge sound, plenty of elements to enjoy and thoroughly entertaining. Superb production too!

Pretty cool, Al !!! Drama, suspenseful, You should create a whole story line(movements) and send this score to the Las Vegas Symphony, from the prelude to the finale, way to go!!!

Absolutely dramatic Al! Chilling choir - wondering if this is that neat (Voxos) program I've heard about? Or perhaps you hired a lot of vocalists :D What a commanding performance! Bravo to you sir!

Excellent soundtrack for game or video short, this exemplifies TENSE with a great theatric release at 1:58 :) nicely done percussion and brass gets the blood flowing again with an episodic kaleidoscope of visuals in the outro of your short symphony. Bravo!

Uh, where's the sax and funk? ;-) Very cool arrangement - sound track material - yep. Cool percussive bridge at 2:23. Very interesting to hear musicians stretching across genres of music. Just a great composition and production that had to take some time to produce! I'll have to add 'Maestro Massey' to my growing list of monikers for the Professor. Awesome Al!

Gorgeous, epic work. A touch of the "Carmina Burana - O Fortuna" by Mr. Orff: powerful chor, characterful percussion work, brass section. A blend of classic and contemporary music expecially in the mid and last third part well to notice ( starting at about 2:24) , the brass and (later) strings melodies tend to more modern style. I can imagine this one as a soundtrack for a computer game, anyway, this is the first one on this genre I ever heard coming from you Al: never never expected such one ...... a major suprise to me, nonetheless, superior musical work and extremely impactful, dramatic. I am speechless..... Great one my friend!!
