As always, I hope you enjoy!Off to Reims SCORE VIDEOKeagan Richard2024-01-25 | This is my final project for my Dramatic Orchestration for Film (FILM 340) class at Berklee College of Music. Instead of a workprint, where were given a prompt to score with specific sync points in mind. The prompted scene is pasted below.
Enjoy!
PROMPT:
This movie takes place in 1917. Music begins on a FI from black to an aerial shot of beautiful, snow-capped mountains - somewhere over the Rocky Mountains. As we move over the mountains the music should rise and crescendo as we see the mountains becoming low foothills and then an endless prairie.
The music gets quieter as the camera zooms closer in on the land, and we can see signs of human habitation; dirt roads, barbed wire fences, and livestock. Finally, we come to a well-built ranch with several buildings and a horse corral. There are several people standing around a horse-drawn wagon. We zoom in on these folks and see a young man saying goodbye to his family.
A young woman – either his wife or girlfriend – comes forward and they embrace. We hear their conversation, he is going off to join the army and fight in World War I.
He turns to leave and drives away as the people wave goodbye.
We then dissolve to the young man arriving at a military installation in Europe. There are hundreds of soldiers, cars, tanks, horses, etc. – the activity is almost overwhelming. The music could be positive here or dark. Music fades out as the young man finds his way to the headquarters.

So my friend, Robert Opielski, asked me to transcribe the solo off of jwpepper for this song because he enjoyed it and wanted to learn it for our performance of it. I agreed to help him, as well as enhance my transcribing skills, alongside increasing my musical knowledge.
Since I'm new to the whole transcribing scene, let me know if there are any mistakes regarding rhythm and pitches. Additionally, I found no information regarding the soloist who performed this, so please feel free to inform me on it to update this post.
Otherwise enjoy!

Playing with us was the Middle School Band Director, Al Homicz, as he played the soprano part for the performance since we didn't have one.
Special thanks to Mr. Homicz for allowing us to interrupt his class time to play for the younger kids, and was an overall enjoyable experience for us all who performed!
Also keep in mind, all of us practiced this piece together once. So we made some mistakes but exceeded our own expectations for this small performance. Enjoy!
