Instrumental for a competition thing.

My friends wanted me to make a cover of a song for a little competition thingy that they participated. So, I thought I make an orchestral cover to practice orchestration and stuff. They wanted it to start quietly for a poem, then rise slowly into this epic thing.

I have wrote the parts for the voices, but they didn't record it, so I'm left with the instrumental. 

I know it has some cliché parts here in there, but it was for a little competition, thought I'd make it simple and easily digestible. I even added a little canon in the middle and a new theme, so yeah.

Hey, I think you totally accomplish what you set out to do with this piece!  The harmony and the counterpoint of the canon make a lot of sense together.  It's very uplifting and eventually epic, just like you said.  I am having a hard time though imagining where the voices would have fit into this?  Do you not have choir patches that you could have used to simulate how it would have sounded with the voices?  I think my favorite part is at 3:34 - that sounds pretty epic to me.  It almost sounds like an overture of sorts if you're looking for better titles than what you've got.  It ends well also - pretty conclusive if you ask me.  Thanks for sharing!

Now that you mention it, I might add the voice parts later. We'll see.
