    2:33 I can hear Edward mentoring Thomas as his theme grows to a crescendo
    "Remember Thomas, with time, patience, experience and determination... one can accomplish ANYTHING"
    Then the scene flashes back to that stormy night, the night of his exploit, the night.... of his Triumph

    Oh god, the nostalgia! I remember the same melody perfectly from the series! TTTE truly was, and still is, one of the most beautifully scored things I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.

    The only thing I can think of when hearing this is the clip from Edwards Exploit.
    ""I've done it. I've done it". Puffed Edward. "Steady boy. Well done boy. You've got them. You've got them!" As he listened to Edward's steady beat as he forged slowly but surely ahead."

    I really should admit, that is one of the best orchestral composing on Edward's them. It would certainly fit very well for a full length video staring Edward himself.

    Absolutely fantastic. My dad passed away a month ago, TTTE was my whole childhood and I've got a lot of memories with him that come flooding back when I hear the familiar soundtrack. This one brought out a lot of tears, lol I know he'd love to have heard it. Thank you so much, what a magical gift this song is. Keep making music my friend

    When I was a little kid, my favorite theme in all of Thomas The Tank Engine was Edward’s Theme. Over the course of my life so far I had that song stuck in my head, but couldn’t remember where it was from. This piece brings so many memories back and captures my childhood wonder. I love it so much!

    A lesser composer would have been tempted to go as loud and as dramatic as possible, particularly at the end of the piece (myself included) but I love that you keep most of this subdued. You haven't just added to the work of Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell, you've perfectly captured the essence of the character. Soft and quiet usually, loud and triumphant when he needs to be, but never more than he needs to. Inspires me to write an Edward-centered feature film!

  • @kanithebrakevan6989
    @kanithebrakevan6989 Před 6 lety +3

    Edward has always been my favorite character in Thomas when my younger brother and I watched the old series, and whenever that kind blue engine would appear, I'd always be happy to hear his theme.
    This orchestral arrangement is really beautiful and sounds really pleasing. This has definitely won my seal of approval. ^-^

    Yea, this is better, like worlds better.
    I would really appreciate if I could use this and I would give you full credit.

      Or something like "Edward: The Early Years", if we were going with something along the lines of a story being told, back when the engine was young and new to the railway.
      Think something akin to the "Very Old Engines" quadrilogy of books, that were mostly about when Skarloey & Rheneas first came to the island
