Ok, as I said in the previous entry that the theme for the horse show we wrote music for was the film "Avatar". So there isn't much I can say about the sound of this score, since it was really defined by James Horner before us.
An interesting thing happened while working on this though. I had already passed the music on for the final rehearsal when it was noticed that the practise arena and the show arena aren't the same size. The practise arena was smaller so the ponies took a shorter time to ride through the program than they did in the show arena. So I hauled ass back to my gear and extended the drums and the ending for over 2 minutes. So the end result is 11 minutes and 34 second long.
In the end I believe we created an enjoyable score for the show. Take a listen yourself.
The show was performed on 24.10.2010 at the Helsinki International Horse Show.
