Wartheme - An old arrangement

Wartheme - An old arrangement Lyrics & Chords

This is a piece of music I did after buying MOTIF ES6. Please let me know if you like it

======

A war is a catastrophe. In this piece of music, I have tried to create a visualization for the war starting from the beckoning to the mourning. The war starts with the drums banging and the troupes marching in. Once the troupes face the enemies, out of sheer passion for victory and the thirst for blood they energize themselves with war cries and after that they start warring with each other. After a particular juncture the killing becomes so common and usual that their minds get numbed and they do it like normal work(the flutes). It is followed by the cruel mindless torture of innocents after the victory as they plead for mercy – but of no avail. All the killings are done without any heart.

A group of people who were untouched by the war since they were away come rushing and take a look at the battlefield and they are filled with anguish seeing the lacerated and amputated bodies with men and women crying out in Lord’s name for help. Although they help the needy, they cannot control their weeping when they see vultures battling with them for the bodies – a stillness of burial ground.

Let me know if you guys are able to appreciate it. This was done entirely on the MOTIF ES 6. This was probably the second piece of music I did after getting the Keyboard.

Nice one Murali…. I liked the composition. Especially the parts at 1:30-ish and 2:07-ish are haunting me and makes me emotional….kudos!

Some critical comments: While I liked the composition, the arrangement does not justify your title. It does not have that “grand” feel for a war theme. This arrangement makes me to visualize a fight with very few people involved on the order of only 10^1. I see the reason for this in your description (Motif). As a quick and dirty fix, you can try to add some rhythm fillers and heavy reverbs on a few instruments to resolve that.

You are in your honeymoon period ;) so let me not bore you too much and I will stop here :)

Oh Wow.
Excellent arrangements.
Took me to the ancient time specially to the age of empires. And even there is a game called Age of empires which has the similar type of music in it. That is one of my favorite game.
Loved it.

Murali – on your page after a long time. Very creative . Very impressive. ( A nitpick that you could have maybe used a diff tone than the cricket like one maybe?)

Ramya : Thanks

Karthick: Thanks…However, the motif is not new, almost 4-5 years old

Deepesh, Krishnan and Rahul : Thanks

Sushane, Unni, Harry and Vishu : Thank you.

Bala : This was probably the second piece I had composed/arranged in my musical journey. I did not / do not know much about mixing the varius tracks. I just went with MOTIF’ default settings on most of the instruments.

Roshine, Arvind, Radhika and Babu : Thanks

Loved it, Murali. The melody piece has a Tamil sound to it, imo. You can use it in a historic album of Period wars and revolutions.
