Album Theme: Journeyman Years. An Orchestral Movie Soundtrack. Listen to The Runner, Flying Free, Magic Lanterns and New Horizons. This is an epic orchestral motion picture soundtrack by John Pickup that will grip your heart and soul from the very first note to the final string score. The minute John let me hear the original compositions, I knew that he was onto something big. These brilliant scores deserved orchestral instruments to take them to the highest musical level, so John sat down and started writing out the parts. The extra effort was well worth it in the end and I am absolutely sure that you will hear this loud and clear. MOMENTOUS MOVIES tells the story of a journeyman's adventures in times long gone. A time in which travelling from one town to another to gain experience in different workshops, was an important part of the training of an aspiring master. The daily struggle for survival for a young and inexperienced craftsman in which a good day would simply be working side by side with a master tradesman, being served a decent meal in the evening and falling asleep in a soft bed at night defined the journeyman years.
