Into the Beacon - Composition for Orchestra

Hey everyone! Come on! There's a lighthouse up ahead! Let's venture Into The Beacon! 🌊✨ What mysteries lie within this solitary lighthouse, standing guard over these distant shores? Nothing short of a land to adore! I always wanted to write a beach-themed piece, and this was the perfect time to do so! I wanted to capture both the commanding presence of the beacon and the discoveries made on this island, from the first glimpse of the lighthouse, to the final farewell that comes across the horizon! This was such an exciting piece to compose! Mixing traditional orchestra with some unique instruments like steelpan gave so much coloring opportunities when orchestrating! And, I was able to try out a ton of new orchestrations that I hadn't done before! My favorite part is definitely around 3:00, that pirate-y stuff with the High Woodwinds, Steelpan, Xylophone, and Piano is such a cool combination! I hope this music guides you through your own journey of discovery throughout the lighthouse!
