When an end to war seems unforseen...


Part II: An Uncertain Hope

Part IV: Epilogue (In Memoriam)


**History of the Song: This was my first 'experiment' with the MS program. I originally had a different mood of war in mind, something more gritty and rage-filled. But as I was making it, old pictures and film footage of the World Wars came to my mind for some reason. (Those images remained with me as I went on to create more songs in the 'War Stories' series, always reflecting back to this song somehow in parts II-IV) To this day, I still think it was my subconscious or just plain luck that I chose the instruments that I did when I was initially messing around with the song because each one sounded like they fit so well together by the end of the process. There honestly weren't any more or less instruments that I initially chose when making it from scratch. I have favorite parts to all my songs, even if I may not like how the whole song turned out. For this song, the part where it's just the pizzicato and the string for a brief part is my fave, leading into the 'nervous string.' And the church bell effects became significant in the series because they came to symbolize a warning of danger as well as represent death; doom in the aftermath of war.**
