End of Days: The Second Coming - an original piece written for orchestra and choir
I wrote this piece called End of Days which is a multi-movement work for orchestra, choir, and solo singers based on end times prophecy.
Here is the 4th movement of 5, called the Second Coming, which depicts Jesus' triumphal return on a white horse, and the white throne judgment. Lyrics are taken from Revelation 20 and Philippians 2:9-11.
The movements of this piece, called an oratorio are:
- 1. The Resurrection: Jesus' First Coming, Death, and Resurrection
- 2. The Day of Wrath
- 3. For God So Loved the World
- 4. The Second Coming
- 5. New Heaven and New Earth
Of the 5 movement, I've only recorded the 3rd and 4th. It takes a lot of time to get all of the individual instruments recorded and everything mixed well! I used EW Hollywood Orchestra and EW Symphonic Choirs, and also overdubbed the choir parts myself to add more realism. The whole process takes more hours than I'd like to count, but way more than 50 hours per movement - and this doesn't count composing time!
My hope is someday when I have the 5th movement completed, that a real orchestra and choir will perform it. But until then, I'll most likely try to get all the movements on software.

This was really nice @morodiene. I listened to the whole thing. 🎝
Thank you so much! I guess that's a good sign :)
Beautiful piece
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is very powerful! Fabulous work, and so triumphant.
Thank you...I definitely feel God is to credit for this. He gave me the music in my head on a long road trip. Then it was a long process of putting those notes down in a score.
Congratulations Human. This post has been chosen to feature in today's Muxxybot curation post....*....Thanks, @Gmuxx!
@morodiene I had no idea that you had a talent like this. Excellent!!
So glad you liked it! It's not the kind of music that most people listen to, so when someone does and actually likes it that makes my day :)
Have you shared the third movement? I would love to hear it!
OK, here it is!

The third movement was amazing!! I'm not just saying that! It was your first time using virtual instruments??? I'm honestly just speechless. I really really enjoyed hearing these.
No, I haven't. It was my first attempt at recording, so I've not really liked how it turned out, but the music I think is decent. Maybe that will be my next post! :)
