    paper "We Are the Victors" - Orchestra Music

    “We Are the Victors” is an orchestral project I did for an aborted video game project. It was a combat game but I kept a majority of the scores I wrote for the project.
    Full orchestral and choir are parts in the score. I would love to work with you on your project.
