Wow. Those 21 minutes flew by. Love the Neapolitan chord. It’s the perfect spice during the moment they crest the hill right before the castle comes into view. I’m looking forward to the orchestration.

@@CharlesScalfani Thank you for all the encouragement and support!

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process from melody to harmonization with the epic rise to the grand ending. Looking forward to the full orchestration. 🎼🎶
