Today is the source of inspiration for this week's Abbey Road series. Decimus is filled with epic themes to jump start your adventure, rejuvenate your strength, and push you forward. Now go kill that monster!
The Lion's Heart sets the mood for the album and presents a good start. Today I will be mainly focusing on Unbroken. I love this song so much.
It is a beautiful representation of the strings, blending spiccato and arco, which shapes the theme. Coming in at the perfect time, the choir adds to the mix, but does not overpower the dominant sound of the instruments.
Faint percussion in the background and some accompanying brass. Being a string player, you may have already guessed that I always prefer the sound of the strings, which are the main instruments in this piece. If you listen for it, you will hear the brass near the end when the climax is reached.
My favorite part in this piece begins at 1:24 when everything ceases except for the violin and the choir. The violin, playing in spiccato, takes a short pause before returning using much higher notes to increase the intensity and eventually reaching the final climax.
What are your thoughts on this beautiful piece? If you like this track as much as I did, you should also look into Voyage of Dreams.
I hope you have an excellent Friday. See you again next week!
