The Hero Returns Straight-up, no-nonsense heroic music for all occasions. Hero Returns features a full orchestra and all-stops-out pipe organ to paint a symphonic portrait of true majesty, triumph, and joy. I borrowed some compositional ideas from renowned film composer John Williams and from an old Easter hymn I came to know. But mainly my gratitude for the inspiration goes to Ludwig van Beethoven, my favorite and most-admired all-time genius.
