Jared Hudson continues with his effective style of dramatic, cinematic arrangements, this time with a soaring orchestral mix from Xenogears. Beginning with some mellow, deliberate percussion and chromatic percussion along with piano, the tempo establishes itself at 0'49" after a nice ride cymbal roll, when a military snares gets things going and sets the pace for the rest of the track. You then get a gradual build with strings (legato and pizzicato), cymbal crashes, ensemble brass, and choir for the finale / climax around 4'32". I'm real picky about choir integration, and I will say that I had some issues with the patch used and the way it was mixed with the rest of the elements, but you're likely to get swept up in the emotive and forward-flowing melodic nature of the piece where you could care less. For some reason I wanted this to end right at 5'04", on a chord that didn't resolve, just cause it would have been different and would have worked well, I think, but the ending is handled well regardless with a gradual ritard. Jared seems especially adept at the orchestral percussion thang, as you'll hear from the well-placed use of various of cymbals, dynamic, believable, and never-faltering snare line, and chromatic percussion as well, and for me that was the highlight of this mix. Nice, uplifting work that's true to form for Hudson.
