Above and Beyond by Audiomachine

To wrap this wonderful week up in one tight ribbon, I have here a track from Audiomachine.

Audiomachine is my favorite trailer music company. Today's track comes from 2013's Tree of Life and was featured in the trailer from Monday's film: Cinderella.

Composed by the talented Paul Dinletir, Above and Beyond

Slow piano begins the track and gives us the theme. A short burst of percussion is the cue for the strings, coming in as spiccato and starting the buildup. The cello invites itself in, playing some high notes and introducing the primary theme.

Everything begins to come together as the percussion maintains a steady beat that forshadows what is to come. The percussion and strings play together shortly before reaching its peak and bringing in the choir, which is perfectly balanced and does not overpower the instruments.

I love how everything is so delicately mixed. This is one of my all-time favorite songs from the trailer genre.
