Tony Anderson - Darkest Night

Until my new music is ready for release later this year, I've decided to share some of my previous work a few times each week. Today's selection is "Darkest Night."

I wrote Darkest Night (2016) as part of a score for a film called "The Heart of Man." I had about 8 weeks to write 75 minutes of music for the film - it was a difficult deadline because we had already booked a recording date with the orchestra in Slovakia before I started writing.

My friend James Everingham is one of the most talented composers of our generation. He assisted me in the production for Darkest Night. If this piece has a touch of Zimmer, it's for two reasons. First, because I love Hans' music. But second because James works with Hans producing scores here in LA. James is a master at arrangement, production and sound design. He's also tall and likes cheese and synthesizers as much as I do.

The Heart of Man suite remains my all time favorite collection of music. Many ancient and perennial vibes envoked. Christ in hades. Groups of men working towards indomitable tasks. Friendship. Lost brothers... divine love...

This, this music is absolutely out of this world. Dear Tony, you don't know me but believe me, this is the last music I want to hear when I die. Thank you very, very much for sharing this with us.

[TheUSHERKAN]

Words fail for the song. Tony, you're a gift to us.
God be praised for working in you to touch our hearts with your songs. ❤️🙏💕

[TheOvercomer]

Oh if I could just express what it always does to me listening to this every time.
It gets me SO ready for battle!!!!
Its like the end of the book of Revelation is happening right infront of my eyes. When I listen to this, everything starts slow but then finds its peak in Jesus coming back with us as his bride and just demolishing Satan and his army just with the breath of his mouth. Oh the most spectacular event of the whole universe will soon occur and I will be apart of it. What insane privilege. And then we will enter into Gods eternal peace bc there will be no more tears no more sorrow. Just his glory. Oh this songs makes me ready to throw fists at the enemy who will soon be finished. Oh Jesus!!!! Oh Jesus. You King of Kings. Come

❤дана композиція передає все те, що коїться в моїй душі під час війни в моїй країні. Вона передає такі емоції як: лють, біль, ненависть, розпач... Композиція чудова та переповнена безліччю почуттів ❤
