Took a cinematic approach to a hero's sacrifice. The theme starts slow, with those begging the hero not to go, and progresses as they go anyways, knowing that saving the others will be at the expense of their life. Then the end erupts into a fortissimo of emotion, and ends just as softly as it started. All samples are EastWest with exception to the piano being from NADA.

Wow, just wow! I can see this in a movie, and I can feel the emotion in this. The sadness of begging the hero no to go. I can picture the scene in my mind as I listen to this, it almost brings a tear to my eye.
Wonderful work here and so full of emotion!

Thank you for the kind words. I would love to one day write scores for movies, though I don’t think I’m good enough for that as of yet. I really need to study music theory one of these days.
I think you can, I tried music back in HS, and I scuked at it. But you have a natural talent for this.
Your music is inspiring to me. Along with the emotion you put into each piece of work, you could make it into the movies. I love your work!

I was only 10 seconds into this and I loved it. It's a deep and moving piece.
The interesting thing is I can see this fitting for a scene in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 where The Aegis (who has split personality disorder of Pyra(kind but full of doubt)/Mythra(Rude, arrogant, headstrong)/Pneuma (the true Aegis) ) tells Rex to stop trying to save her and let her save him (and the world) with her sacrifice in stopping Malos (an evil Aegis) from destroying the world alone.
More interesting, is the idea that what if it's not a actual physical sacrifice as I mentioned with Pneuma going to fight Malos alone to save Rex and his friends (who are her friends as well)? Because a hero could sacrifice anything for a battle. Which is like how Kenshin (from Ruroni Kenshin) vows to never take another life but at a few key points he is forced to take a life. Or Vash the stampede from Trigun who also tries to resolve things with as little pain to those trying to hurt himl and eventually he breaks and does take a life. it's that sacrifice of a vow or of ethics, morals and a creed that can be just as heart breaking. Because then they need to come to terms with the fact they broke that vow or creed and must contend with that and seek a way back to that previous way.

Indeed, more than one’s life could be considered a sacrifice. Love and peace.
