Orchestral Compositions

Perhaps more than any other type of music, orchestral music can tell a story and take you on a journey. These pieces and segments contain a forward sense of a dramatic arc developing within the music. 

Orchestra
The hero’s journey. This one is written with three different sections with cues in mind: Exposition, Exploration, and Action. Here they are all shuffled up, moving from one to another.
This one has a character arc of someone picking themselves up after a set-back. The first rays of sun following a storm.

00:00 / 02:36
Introducing the “third act”, when all the elements of the story come together and the main character commits to decisive action.
The Final GatheringJames Elias
00:00 / 01:10
A string canon à 3 with strong forward momentum and an inner intensity which could reflect a character’s increasing inner anxiety.
A theme led by the brass on an energetic string bed which opens out into a jazz tune with a big band flavour.
Faerie On The PrairieJames Elias
00:00 / 03:49
