"The Hallowed Knight's Journey" | It's done (I think) More or less, would like a proof-read before I publish this ;)

Hi @UncleRed99!

I just listened to this casually without looking at the score.  For me, it seems to be good background music for some foreground film/media.  As a piece of music it seems to lack a long leading melodic line.  Often, I perceive it as just an orchestrated chord progression.  I don't hear any themes, motives or melodies that stick in my memory and make me hum it after I've finished listening to it.  Perhaps there's melodies here but I just didn't catch them?  Or they're so few and far between and dissolved in the piece that they don't stimulate the listeners mind often enough to be noticed?  Anyway, that's my perception of the piece.  Thanks for sharing!

I didn't do a ton of mixing/mastering of the audio, more or less was focused on the music itself. If you get the chance to follow along, I'd like to hear your thoughts! As I was sure to have a melodic line through the piece, with some of those melodies briefly following the rhythm of the chord progression. I'm sure it would help if I went through to make those parts more pronounced. Thanks for your feedback on that. I'll be sure to make the audio reflect that, and make any changes in the score that might help with exaggerating the melodic lines

Edit: 
I went back thru and listened with a clean slate, and could hear what you're saying. I did a bit poorly when marking dynamics for volume. The Melodic lines are blended with the harmonic lines. I've went through and either doubled / tripled up on the melodic voices, and adjusted dynamics. Going to update the post with that tonight. 🙂
