"Promises to Keep"

Instruments: Piano

Feel: Calming, Somber, Uplifting

Slow impromptu for solo piano. A little hopeful, a little sorrowful... I'm sure there is a word for this feeling, but I don't know it.

"Crusade"

Instruments: French Horns, Trombones, Percussion, Trumpets

Feel: Dark, Epic, Somber, Suspenseful

Written as travelling music for a video game... this is probably a bit too active for that. There is a beautiful choral section in the trombones at 2:18. Good anvils.

"Oppressive Gloom"

Instruments: Strings, Bass Clarinet, Percussion

Feel: Dark, Eerie, Epic, Mysterious, Somber, Suspenseful

Moody moody dark score. Almost a death march. Loops pretty darned well - but you need to trim the end.

"Hero Down"

Instruments: Strings, French Horn, Trombones, Percussion, Flute

Feel: Epic, Intense, Somber

A piece in three or four parts... depending on how you count parts. The penultimate section features a lonely flute, slowly joined by a children's choir, and finally exploding into a giant choral and orchestral ending.
From the original soundtrack to "The Last Stand of the Mechanolith".
