Three orchestral tracks for a dark fantasy RPG soundtrack.
Mostly inspired by Night on Bald Mountain, Michael Hoenig's Baldur's Gate soundtrack and Motoi Sakuraba's Dark Souls soundtrack.
01 The Mountain King - Main Theme
This would play in the main menu and also while you're creating your character. For this purpose it would be made into a loop, but there would be a standalone version like this for the soundtrack. The 5/4 rhythmic pattern played by the brass and piano would be a leitmotif featured throughout the soundtrack - similar to how Baldur's Gate revisits the same harmonic ideas in lots of the tracks.
02 The Mountain King - The Great Hall
This short cue would play when the player enters the arena to fight the Mountain King. It could play during a cinematic or a sting triggered by the player in engine.
03 The Mountain King - Final Battle
Some epic boss fight music - also in 5/4. The breaks in the music are intended to be controlled by middleware software and play at key points in the fight - triggered by how much health is remaining. Eg. halfway through, during story developments or before the final push at the end etc. The final flute note at the end would play when the fight is over.

Flawless execution, where the only thing I objected to was it was -too- obviously kinda like Lord of the Rings.
But it's a nice problem to have. Excellent.
Well excecuted, nice orchestral dynamics, only the main theme I think was lacking a bit some low end but you got it on The Great Hall.
Really epic and the execution and composition quality are perfect!
The composition and orchestration are simply stunning! A masterpiece.
I think your submission nailed the Mountain King theme! Amazing work!!
I really love these compositions, I could totally see souls-like devs wanting music like this in their games, its really well composed. Great work!
I need to hear this live. Excellence.
love the orchestral themes! Harmonies are so dark and full!
wonderful sounds, the choirs and the brass instruments especially. reminds me of many medieval movie musical themes.
Great sound design!
