Woo! I'm listening to the instrumental now, but have already put together the graphics for the intro, because, uh... I didn't see that you'd finished the whole thing. ^_^
Here's the intro, which looks pretty much how I wanted it to (though I could wish it were smoother). The same effect will continue with the starfield throughout the sung part, though slower.
And yes, that's a view of
exactly what you think it is. ^_~
(... and the forests are linden on the left, maple on the right, because I couldn't help myself).
Okay, I've test-sung it now, and nothing jumped out as really not working, so I'm happy.
Not sure when we'll get it finished, but we shall see.
I like the interpretation of Amarie as a voice for the whole world (but then, I've been a Finrod fan for a long time...!). I'm now wondering whether we should switch 'Wind' back before 'Finrod's Last Song'; he goes off to die, then we get the mourning, and then he turns it around into a moral victory. (Also, it would deal with the fact that the current version doesn't include the main character for the final three songs!)
