Meanwhile, I lost my voice to a cold and haven't been able to experiment with harmonizing. And today will be Leaving on an Adventure for a bit, so no computer. But! I did fiddle around with the ending, and have Option 3. Thoughts? The goal in all cases is to have "doom fell" fall into dead silence, without any music. Depending on how dramatically slow the last line gets, the final note here might be a bit short or a bit long. Also, we can put a slight "fade out" effect on Audacity to make it a smoother stop.

I hope your Adventure is going/did went well! I like Option 3 a lot - the fadeout sounds more natural than the hard stop, like, oh I don't know, the last horn's dying call? I can sing it as long or short as you like, and if all else fails I can always tweak the note in Audacity.

I am adding two more instrument lines to fill it out a bit, and rebalancing the volumes so that you can actually hear the countermelody. I really like how it's turning out so far.

Awesome! Looking forward to hearing it.

As for me, I decided to try something today:

I'm fairly pleased with it as far as it goes, sausage fingers aside. Whether I have the skill for animation is arguable, but what I definitely don't have is the patience: this took an hour and a half, and I couldn't face any more. The original plan was to try and animate the Ballad to Amarie, but no, that is not happening. Still a fun experiment, though.
