Rise of the Iron Bird

Hello @RLbolmer and welcome to the forum!

Quite a busy and hectic texture you weave in the beginning but you find places throughout the piece to relax that busy-ness with contrasting sections and where you let up on the heavily orchestrated fabric.  There is a modulation at B2 where you go up a whole step - that is quite a tried and true formula to inject a sudden sense of excitement into the music (especially in pop).  Although it would have been nice to hear a more adventurous harmonic segue somewhere.  Thanks for sharing and I hope you continue to submit more music!
