This is my first release of ‘Last Words’ – one of my original composition that I have written. I originally wanted ‘For Orchestra’ to be all covers, but continually get asked to release some originals, so here we go! Of course, I’ll continue to release the other arrangements of Lady Gaga and The Roots in the coming weeks.
I always feel that people are at their strongest when their back is against a wall. In turn, the power of this piece represents that exact moment – when things are looking down, possibilities are stacked against us, and we feel it’s near our ‘Last Words’, that we are in fact at our strongest – because our strengths are found in times of anguish, not happiness.
You may recall this piece used as the intro to my Revision3 show. This piece starts off with the flutes introducing the rhythm, then the drums take the pulse to a new height. I include the triangle, harp, and staccato violins to offset the ‘aggressiveness’ in the intro – which creates a strong peak and valley for what’s to come. As the melody takes hold, you are met with a soft ‘bridge’ section leading into the final chorus before the ‘Last Words’. The violins played a perfect role in this piece, as did the powerful drums and trumpets -which play the ending melody that the flutes played in the beginning.
