'The Priest of the Silver Shield II' - New Original Music - Expanding on Yesterday's Idea! Orchestral/Instrumental + Walkthrough!

I decided to do the same

sort of thing that I did with the 'Upon the Peak' tune, and add a few extra instruments from Ableton's orchestral packs. I like to use these very sparsely, as they don't all use the best samples to begin with, though a few of them work nicely, particularly with the strings. I also added a timpani, though its a bit of a boring rhythm, so I'll probably wind up altering that. Lets go through the changes!

Listen to The Priest of the Silver Shield II here.

The new tracks begin at #7,

with the bassoon, which comes in over the A section, the 2nd and 3rd time around. Although it basically just plays our chord tones, the change in texture is nice, and breaks things up a bit. Track 8 is the Oboe, which is only used over the B sections. I decided to make this a bit more of a melody line, which wound up working out decently. The B sections are pretty loaded with instruments, so it's nice that this track stands out well. Finally, we have Tracks 9 and 10, which are our percussion: a timpani, and wood blocks, respectively.

Track 7, Bassoon.

Track 8, Oboe.

Hope you like the changes! I want to add/change a bit more, but I don't want to get burned out, so I'm going to take a break on this one for a day or two, then come back with fresh view.
