My Favorite Musical Group
Two Steps from Hell
Two Steps from Hell is and orchestral group of various musicians, so I will
list the founders and composers of the group and it's music. They are primarily known
for trailer music and supplying music to major cinematics such as Interstellar,
Harry Potter, and Pirates of the Caribbean. You can find more at their website listed here:

My Favorite Songs
- "El Dorado" - A fast tempo piece that, while very different, reminds me of the movie
by a similar name "Road to El Dorado" in a small way.
- "Flight of the Silverbird" - Probably among the most known of their pieces and
not just one of my favorites, this piece takes on a more flowing feel until it
ramps up into a battle crescendo that makes me think of battleships fighting on the
ocean.
- "Canon in D Minor" - This piece is as well known as the last, but has a different
feel. Unlike the last one, it almost instantly jumps into a battle piece, invoking
a feeling of triumph with large crescendos and some vocal queues through most of the piece
until a full chorus is added a little over two minutes in. This only serves to
increase it's epic-ness.
