This song was done for my favorite scene in my favorite book when I was a teenager: Sir Arthur C. Doyle - The Sign of the Four

The scene is the epic Sherlock Holmes boat pursuit in River Thames, filled with shotguns and venon darts. It can be found at the end of the Chapter 10 - The End of the Islander

The original song SCORE was writen in Encore 4.2 for the following orchestra parts: Flutes, Oboe, Clarinets, Violins, French Horn, Trumpets, Trombone, Tuba and Drums.

It was pre-mixed in Finale 2008 (the instruments are more real there) and effects added on Cool Edit Pro

Hope you enjoy listen it as I enjoyed working on it.

The Holly Bible (Mark 1, 9-13)

It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven, 'You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.'

Satan Tempts Jesus

Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness. And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him.

Novel by Alice Sebold. It is the story of a teenage girl who, after being raped and murdered, watches from Heaven as her family and friends struggle to move on with their lives while she comes to terms with her own death. The novel received much critical praise and became an instant bestseller.

The novel's title is a quotation taken from the novel's end, where Susie ponders her friends' and family's newfound strength after her death:

These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections - sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent - that happened after I was gone. And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it. The events my death brought were merely the bones of a body that would become whole at some unpredictable time in the future. The price of what I came to see as this miraculous lifeless body had been my life.

A group of angels, warriors, lovers of justice and freedom, defied the tyranny of the powerful archangels, raising arms against their oppressors.

But then comes the moment of Revelation, the time of reckoning. Sole survivor of the purge, Ablon, the leader of the renegades, is invited by Lucifer, Archangel Black, to join their legions in the Battle of Armageddon, the final struggle between heaven and hell, the war that will decide the fate not only of world, but the future of humanity.
From the ruins of Babylon to the splendor of the Roman Empire, the vast plains of China to the ice castles in medieval England, The Battle of Revelation is not just a journey through human history - is also a journey of knowledge, an epic exciting, full of heroic struggles , magic, romance and suspense.
