I was thrilled when recording engineer John Kurlander signed on for the project. John is a veteran film music engineer whose credits include the Grammy Award-winning Lord of the Rings soundtracks. I knew that John would be able to capture the big, powerful sound that I wanted for the score. Jeff Marsh orchestrated the score and conducted the orchestra. Jeff's job was to take my completed compositions and create master scores that contained all of the appropriate articulations, dynamics, and other information that let the player know how to interpret the music. Robert Puff handled the part preparation.

This was no trivial task, considering that the session required over 4,000 pages of music.
