Prelude

Prelude. "an orchestral piece at the beginning of an opera, suite, play, oratorio, or other extended composition." ~ google - not affiliated to a game. Inspired by the Horus Heresy (a Warhammer 40k book series). The marines gather inside the hangar of a huge spaceship in preperation to invade the planet below. There are no more thoughts about what has been and what lead to this war inside this ship. The only thoughts are about the brothers who share the same destiny. The next order is to load the droppods. Minutes later the invasion begins. 'Prelude' is a piece written in three acts. Segment one (intro) carries some hope and paints a somewhat lovely picture to the listener, before act 2 kicks in with a melancholic melodie underscored with a deep synthesizer sequence. Act 3 is all about raising up with heavy hits and scratchy strings, in preperation for the things that are about to come.
