    "By their graves, we will sing of our brothers' lives, and upon their ashes, we will build a new dawn." Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faXa9_o0mYE A piece for a string orchestra which I attempted to compose about 1-2 years ago, but at the time I ran out of inspiration and put it aside. It's finally done now! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, though I suppose it's nothing extra special! I hope you enjoy it! Things: 1. I'm slightly doubtful that actually playing a staccato C and D at the same time on a double bass sounds like a drum beat, but oh well. 2. It is possible that I have exceeded the ranges of several of the instruments, but don't tell anyone. 3. I hope you find it interesting! 4. I just adore the sound of violin glissandi. Incredibly awesome. 5. The end (holding low low D on the double bass alone) was shamelessly stolen from Shiro Sagisu's arrangement of 'Tsubasa wo Kudasai' for the movie 'Evangelion 2.0: You can (not) Advance". 6. I made up the quotation. It's pretty cool, right? Right?
