It’s not often that I get the opportunity to showcase not just a great piece of epic music, but how I’ve personally interpreted the music use in my own work. The music is from David Edwards The Age Of Man (Fringe Element Trailer Series Epic Choral Action).
It’s a powerful sweeping piece that starts off in a brooding somber tone then quickly ramps up the tempo until there’s nothing left but a pounding crescendo that marches over and over. Only to end in shrill high pitched choral ‘screams’.
In launching my Kickstarter campaign I used this music to create the self made trailer for my novel, The Third Heaven: The Rise of Fallen Stars. When you view the trailer you feel the launch away from the planet as you journey to the realm where God and the angels live. The Third Heaven. I don’t think a more beautiful and powerful piece of music could better create the feel that I was trying to convey here.
What do you think do you agree?
Are there any pieces of music that inspire you? Particularly to write?
P.S. The Third Heaven: The Rise of Fallen Stars needs your support on KickStarter! With only 29 days left, can you help me succeed??? Would you help spread the word? Help back me if you have a little extra cash laying around!
