Wing Commander - Theme orchestrated

[dummy]

I always loved this theme but all I could remember from memory was some very 90s sounding synthy midi. I've heard the awesome version Dave Govett did for OCR, but I figured I would give it a more traditional orchestration. I wanted to stay close to the original, but add a little more oomph to it.

Any comments on crits are more than welcome. The quieter parts (00:33 to 00:40 and 0:55 onwards) were actually really hard to write and to get sounding realistic - I can still pick lots of problems in them but anything anyone can suggest would be more than welcome.

I imagine my inspiration for the instrumentation, and the extra bits I added is pretty obvious, but I couldn't

as I was orchestrating it.

Not only did the intro sound epically familiar, but there was another part around 1.02 (by soundcloud's reckoning) that gave me some serious Star Wars vibes.

Awesome stuff, as always.

Very nice! My only crit is that some of the string transitions toward the end sound a little awkward, but aside from that it's great mockup of a great track! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks guys. There is some heavy Star Wars vibes in the track too - It's kinda of halfway between Star Trek and Star Wars. I wonder if that was intentional by Dave Govett.

Thanks ebuch - the strings in this piece in general were quite hard to write so hopefully they're not too bad overall.

I hear some StarGate in there, too.

Fantastic, as always.
