This track flows really well from one section into another and has a nice overall arc to it. I really like the piano and flute melodies in particular. The flute wavy motion contrasted by the driving strings gives the epic feel you describe. I can imagine this playing the title sequence for a large-scale RPG with a really poignant storyline like the one you describe. The grandness was conveyed very well in this excerpt of what would prove to be an epic and herculean OST. If you ever work on the other pieces for this soundtrack, please share! Great work and thank you for sharing!
